Why I Am an Idiot

So, I just finished a long and well-written post on the nature of al Qaeda as a vanguard party. I copy-pasted from Notepad into Word to spellcheck, forgot about it, responded to a comment in my comments section, and copy-pasted that into Word to spellcheck that. And didn't save in Notepad. Or Word. And lost the post.

This is why, in the middle of the day, I should not be allowed outside to watch croquet in the sun where beer and wine are freely available and everyone shirks their work.

Yes, all of the stereotypes about government laziness are true.

So, until I can recover the data or rewrite it, I have nothing for you guys. My apologies. And, after work, I'm off to kickball - yes, kickball! - so there probably won't be anything until tomorrow.

Ack. You write your posts in Notepad? Ick, why not just use Word?

"Yes, all of the stereotypes about government laziness are true."

Is the Bush administration screwing up because the civil service isn't doing its job, or is civil service inertia the only thing that's saving us from worse misadventures?
