ieting goes quite well, so far. This is probably the longest I’ve stayed on a diet this strict, ever. I’m feeling quite proud of myself. I’m also feeling fairly upbeat about the whole thing. I’d thought, when I got started, that this was going to be really difficult, very burdensome, that sort of thing, but [...]

     Goddamnit, this guy is the president, not the fucking [...]

     he astronaut was packing for his first shuttle mission. As he wedged the paperback novel he had been reading into his case, his wife said to him, “Don’t you think taking that book with you is a waste of space?”
