Monday, January 24th to be Worst Day of the Year

RonMcMahon writes "Dr. Arnalls from Cardiff University has crunched the numbers and has precisely determined that Monday, January 24th will be the worst day of the year. For those of you who might be wondering, the formula to use when deciding what day to stay in bed is 1/8W+(D-d) 3/8xTQ MxNA. The fact that the 24th happens to land on a Monday is purely coincidental."

  1. Reading up on depression? Give me a break. by garcia · · Score: 4, Insightful

    GPs say exercise and reading up on depression are ways to beat the blues.

    All reading up on the topic does is make you realize that you exhibit more symptoms of depression than you thought. Realizing that you are depressed 90% of the time only spells deeper depression.

    I suggest exercise, reading stuff OTHER than depression/illness related material (especially work related), and getting your ass outside.

    I mean sure, he espouses conservative values

    I'm curious- what are these conservative values you speak of?

    • Smaller government? Nope. He's never vetoed a spending bill. Even excluding the military and homeland security, government expenditures are growing faster than during Clinton's terms.
    • Fiscal responsibility? Dear Lord in Heaven, no. His entire economic policy amounts to "Charge it!"
    • State's rights? Just try to pass a medical marijuana (CA) or euthanasia (OR) bill and see what happens.
    • Minimally interventionist foreign policy? Hmm, I can't remember the objection here. I think it ends with a "q", but I might be wrong.
    • Free trade? Sure, unless you need votes in a big steel state. Then forget it.
    • Respect for the constitution? We've got american citizens sitting in jails right now, no charges filed, no lawyers, no trial, ever. Get labeled a terrorist and you can just disappear.
    I could go on for quite a while. Bush is not and has never been a conservative in the classical sense of the word. He's a radical.
