Does anyone kayak?

Also, this week's Frontline was excellent (when is it not?) and is worth watching: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/sickaroundtheworld/

Its a look into the health-care systems in England, France, Germany, Japan and Switzerland for ideas on how to improve care in the U.S. (Spoiler: USA's is fucking joke compared to the rest of the civilized world).

Frontline has produced a 2-part 2 hour documentary called "Bush's War".

If you can't watch it on TV, it is available for free in its entirety online.
It is well worth it.
