The Urban Archipelago, It's the Cities, Stupid., by The Editors of The Stranger (11/11/04)

This essay is definitely worth a read. Invest the time and really read it and then post a comment telling me what you think. I think that this idea, or something close, may well become the political philosophy for the Democratic party for the foreseeable future.

I agree with you on both your points (the natural areas and housing). Perhaps we could somehow claim the national parks as "protectorates" of the United Cities, rather like Puerto Rico is to the United States.

On every other Friday, our company buys the messengers dinner and we often have Mad Pizza. I like it but it doesn't like me. It seems to go in mad and come out even angrier.

Bob Newhart - Comic Genius Passes Away

 A true comic genius has passed away today. One of the first comedy albums I remember listening to as a child is "The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart." His most famous shtick was the telephone conversation where the audience hears only his end of the call. The most famous and best of this is the " Introducing Tobacco to Civilization " skit.

Math Anxiety

I don't normally blog my school experiences, but I just found out today that I have to take more math. I thought I was done with math, but now I find out I have two more classes to take. I am so upset I can't hardly breath. I am so math phobic it's not funny. No, really, it's not funny. I have anxiety attacks in math class. I start to sweat and sometimes I literally start to shake. Years ago when working on my philosophy degree, I had to take logic and did relatively well. And I get so tired of having people tell me that since I did well in logic, I should do well in math. Well, it doesn't work that way, at least not for me. Otherwise (meaning except for the math) things go well. I am actually ahead in my Cisco class, primarily because I didn't take any math this quarter, and my Net Security class is a breeze. Fucking math! Whose ideas is/was it that one has to be a math whiz in order to work with computers?!
