Ok, he's not even officially president and he's pissing me off.

He's now postponing the move to digital TV for a couple months. DamnIt! I just sat thru 10+ months of warnings about the move, if people aren't ready now, they won't be ready then.

We should just force the move on the date that was set. We should also force a move to the metric system, we've been getting ready for it since the '70.

DamnIt! If Digital TV and the Metric system was good enough for Jesus, it's good enough for us!.

Quotes from About.com
Gout is often related to an inherited abnormality in the body to process uric acid. Uric acid levels can become elevated by eating a lot of purine-rich foods such as meats, by the overproduction of uric acid by the body, or if the kidneys do not eliminate excess uric acid.

Dietary alterations are recommended, such as avoiding a purine-rich diet. Other preventive measures include maintaining adequate fluid intake, weight reduction, reduction in alcohol consumption, and medications to reduce hyperuricemia.

Quote from How To Be Atkins Diet And Gout Friendly
The foods that have the highest purine levels are animal based proteins. The very foods that make up the largest portion of the Atkins diet plan. So, you can see the problem that a gout sufferer may have by following Atkins or other low/restricted carb diets.

Not sure why the ER doctor missed this, I told him multiple times I was on Atkins and he congratulated my weight loss and told me to keep going. I'd rather stay on the diet, so I'll be looking on how to reduce the Uric Acid w/o staying away from the protein rich diet. Or move away from the induction phase of Atkins and into OWL :(.
