Crap. I just wrote a post and the computer ate it. Oh well. It was funny and insightful and eloquent and now it’s gone. Oh, the humanity!
Anyway.
I get to visit the doctor tomorrow afternoon. I don’t have as many doctor appointments as you might expect. For someone with my severity of disability, I’m remarkably stable. So the purpose of this visit is simply to let my physician know that I’m still in the neighborhood. I only wish there was an easy way to get some writing done while sitting in the waiting room. I want a pair of glasses like that guy in the IBM commercial. You know, the one where he’s sitting on a bench in Rome or Milan or wherever and trading stocks using a display on his eyeglasses, screaming “Buy it! Buy it!” like he just snorted a noseful of crystal meth.

Man, Saddam needs a shave and a haircut! I don’t think many people are unhappy to learn of his capture, but I fail to understand why we can track him down in a matter of months and war criminals like Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic are still free years after being indicted. Of course, it remains to be seen whether his capture will diminish the number of daily attacks by Iraqi insurgents.
The play last night was wonderful. Much more alive and and full of humor than the last time i saw it. If you’re ever visiting the Twin Cities during the holiday season, you really should make a point to see it.
I’m nearly finished with my holiday shopping. I just need to get something for my brother in Germany. I hope Amazon doesn’t charge an arm and a leg for overseas shipping.

Can’t the Greens do any better than drag out Ralph Nader from the nursing home every four years? Do Greens still suffer from the delusion that Ralph gives a whit about promoting the party? I said this in 2000 and I’ll say it now: Nader is a self-aggrandizing egomaniac pain in the ass. Personally, I hope he does run so that he can discover just how tired people are of him.
The Guardian has a great article about how nerd culture has conquered mainstream pop culture. Yes, everything is going according to plan, just as we predicted. I’ve already been promised a high-level ministerial position in the North American Sector after the revolution. And then I’ll finally exact my revenge on that bullying cretin who sat next to me in Miss Meverden’s fifth grade class.

Okay, I know I said I’d post some pictures of the snow. Two problems:
1. It gets dark so frickin’ early.
2. I need to figure out a way for my nurse to take a picture outside without my nurse’s finger sticking to the button in these frigid temperatures.

At the risk of being premature, I think it’s safe to say that Dean will be the Democratic nominee in 2004. No, endorsements are not decisive, but Gore remains tremendously popular with the party’s base and it will be difficult for any of the other candidates to recapture the limelight after this. Dean is by no means a perfect candidate but he’s at least as electable as BC. Once the primaries are sealed up, he needs to focus on transforming himself from the Angry Democrat to a candidate with comprehensive policy proposals that clearly set him apart from Bush.
Okay, i’ve had one response to my “Show Me” request. Is everyone shy? C’mon, work with me! Don’t you get tired of my rants? Send me pictures or I start posting my old school photos. And you don’t want that, do you?
