I don’t know how long it’s been since I last trained three days in a row, but it’s been a long time. It’s not normal, and even with these pretty low volume/intensity sessions, I’m still pretty pooped.

Disappointing
So our crazy little Libertarian movement loses another possible standard bearer.
Some of those same pastors started to get to know Paul in January during a tour of Christian holy sites in Israel. The trip included clergy members and activists — including the chairman of the South Carolina Republican Party — from states with early influence in the presidential primaries.
Some who traveled with Paul, a Methodist, said they engaged in deep conversations with him about the Bible and his faith. Several of the pastors said they are still assessing the senator’s views.
“Straight libertarianism has nothing Christian about it,” said pastor Brad Sherman of the Solid Rock Christian Church in Coralville, Iowa, a participant in the Israel trip. “I know a lot of people attribute him to be a libertarian. My impression so far is that he’s not as libertarian as possibly his father was, but I’d like to explore that more.”
Sherman got that chance Friday when he joined other clergy members at the Cedar Rapids lunch to pose pointed questions to Paul. He said he came away liking what he heard. “He made it very clear that he does not support legalization of drugs like marijuana and that he supports traditional marriage,” Sherman said.
While Paul certainly wasn’t the perfect Libertarian candidate, he was so much better than anyone the Red or Blue teams had come up with for a long time. Alas, he’s now just another statist who has to rally the base. Still probably the best of a host of poor alternatives, but that’s not saying much.

McKinnie deal with Ravens worth almost $7 million
Reblogged from ProFootballTalk:
Bryant McKinnie didn’t want to leave Baltimore, but the two-year contract he signed to remain with the Ravens underlines the hard time free agents have had getting paid this offseason.
According to Aaron Wilson of the Baltimore Sun, McKinnie’s deal has a base value of $6.3 million with incentives that could push it close to $7 million.
The 33-year-old left tackle got a $2 million bonus and $1 million in base salary this year.
I think this is a pretty good signing. He's shown he can play when properly motivated, and hopefully he's motivated.
