Creepy or Clintastic? Bill at Tri-C (East) tomorrow afternoon, year after Barack

Filed Under Announcements, Blogging, Campaigning, Elections, Ohio, Politics, WH2008 | 2 Comments

If someone could guarantee me the opportunity to say to Bill Clinton, “Slowly now, Step Away from the Wife!” I’d attend this event, but, I might try to go anyway. Here, again, is the Obama re-cap by four bloggers from last year’s Barack the House evening.  I had a press thingy for Obama’s thanks to Wendell Robinson.  Not sure what I can get for this one tomorrow on such short notice.

Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction, to go with my Temporomandibular Jaw Dysfunction to go with my…

Filed Under Health Care, Women | 14 Comments

Can one ever have enough dysfunction in their life? I guess not.

Here’s more on my most recently diagnosed dysfunction, Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction.  Much like TMJ, SiJD apparently is another one of these mysterious dysfunctions that many doctors don’t or didn’t recognize for years, despite the obvious pain of their patients, and still can’t tell you exactly how you got it or can get it (or keep from getting it in the future).

My jaw still locks up a couple of times a year and I just relocate my mandible into place.  But I think I need another person to help me relocate my sacroiliac to where it belongs.  Hopefully, now that it is back where it’s supposed to be, it will stay there.  I have to not sit for such long periods of time without moving.

With the onset of rheumatoid arthritis likely in the next few years (I already have a very, very slight dose of it), it looks like 2008 is going to be the year I finally get myself into Pilates and/or Yoga and some weight training, especially since osteoporosis won’t be long now either!

I love aging.

If only I could remember enough of it to make it worthwhile since even at my best, I was told I spoke it like a retarded person.  And my writing was even worse.

Those are Democratic primary candidate for president Mike Gravel‘s words, not mine. Take a look and listen. Hattip to Wired Threat Level.

Kucinich post-mortem from NYT blog, Campaign Stops

Filed Under Campaigning, Elections, Government, Media, Politics, WH2008 | 8 Comments

Gail Collins wrote this post today on the New York Times‘ blog, Campaign Stops.  It’s about fringe candidates and, of course, you can’t write about fringe candidates without mentioning Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich, former twice-ran Democratic presidential primary candidate.

As the sun sinks on Chris Dodd, Dennis Kucinich, Tom Tancredo, Duncan Hunter and the rest of the gang, we might want to pause for a minute and ask what made them run and what, if anything, they brought to the party.

…

There’s a second kind of candidate who says he’s in the campaign to get in touch with the electorate. Dennis Kucinich is in this league, and Ron Paul. The argument here is that (a) I, the underdog candidate have a compelling message that the voters would rally around once they heard it (b) You, the swinelike media, have deliberately ignored my compelling message, depriving the voters of the chance to judge me fairly (c) Therefore I must run for president so I can get on the nationally televised debates and state my case.

This theory never actually works out, but you can see the attractiveness of it, particularly to people who deeply distrust the mainstream media. I don’t think, in an age of Internet fundraising, that anybody should be taken seriously as a candidate unless he/she has managed to raise enough money to run a modest but real campaign by the time Iowa has its caucus. Ron Paul did that and he’ll probably be with us until the bitter end. However, Kucinich managed to insert himself into 37 nationally televised debates, in the guise of a serious presidential candidate, without any result whatsoever. Then he went to court to try to force MSNBC to let him onto another debate in Nevada. Really, there’s a limit.

There is a limit, and Dennis is about to find out if his 10th congressional district constituents have reached theirs while he was off finding his.
