Sodas are the Devil

* The energy bill passed, and I think the most exciting thing about it was that Daylight Savings Time will start the second sunday in March and end the first sunday of November. Starting in 2007.

* Are you an Air America listener? What do you think of this story?

* You want to know what a really lousy sequel was? Ms. Congeniality 2. Hoo, major stinker.

* Fructose spurs obesity. In the latest study of how to get fat eating more and exercising less, we find out that fructose is the latest villian. It seems to be a war on soda.

* Yahoo Sports predicts the Dolphins to finish 5-11 this year.

* More on the energy bill.

* I'm not one for consuming calories via liquid.

* The stock market looks like it's headed down as I type. End of month strength? Yes. But fridays do tend to move the opposite way of the weekly trend, as traders book profits before the weekend. Other than that, the headlines say that high oil prices are to blame. Hmm, but then why have we rallied since May? Headlines blame a slower GDP of 3.4% than expected, but by only .1%. Seems that slow moderate growth is the key for a sustainable economic upswing. So, I think the headlines are wrong there, too.

* Roberts hearings to start Sept 6th. (I'll be more excited about the NFL at that point.)

* So schools want to get rid of sodas, but many of them replace them with sweetened fruit juices. Has anybody looked at those for fructose content? (I doubt it. It's a war on soda.)
