Sorry for the light blogging
07 Oct 2008 12:46 pm
My cold seems to have turned into bronchitis, and I'm having trouble remaining upright. Am planning to blog tonight's presidential debate, and have a few new posts up before then.
Remember, if you keel over and die, it will only make your enemies happy. Yet another good reason not to overexert yourself.
Here's hoping the debate tonight will help clear up your bronchitis. Get well!
Apology accepted.
maybe you need to move soemplace with better air and more sunshine... and let your lungs clear. The rockies call you. ;)
Forgive the personal advice, but screw the blog and be a sick human being. Like the presidency, it will be here when you come back.

No, she should just suck it up and do the blogging thing.

Haven't been here in a few days... what the hell happened to the design? It looks like a 1950's musical playbill. "The Atlantic: by Rodgers and Hammerstein". Featuring Megan McArdle and Marc Ambinder.
I don't like it, but I suppose it will grow on me. I can't even remember the last layout... which I like.
Sorry to ignore the post, but it wasn't particularly thoughtful so I can't imagine it matters that I changed the subject.
Go to a doctor, ferchrissakes! Azithromycin! Clear Fluids!!! BED REST!!!!!!
Seriously though, get well soon. The frequency of your posts and my ability to make it through a workday without despairing for large periods of time are strangely correlated....
Definitely something nasty going around this area (I'm in Baltimore). Half our office has been out at one time or other in the last three weeks.
Get well soon! There's too much going on in these "interesting" times for one of the few bloggers I still read to be sidelined.
"Green is the new Black"
can your site designers be any more behind the curve.
MM,
You're, if I'm not mistaken, so much better than these digs.
Maybe, you should start listening to your body(?)
Past that, Get Well Soon, and let it not fester.
As above, No Wealth, w/o Health.
Sincerely,
unacceptable. get your stuff, pick up your final paycheck and get out...We'll mail you your golden parachute.
hope you feel better soon Megan!
Hope you feel better. Your blog and others helped see me through my own bout with this illness last week. Nothing like crappy economic news to go with an upper respiratory infection, blah.
Get well soon, McArdle.
Megan,
Did you know this about Clive?

Is it by chance, or from your intellectual positions that mean you both suffer physically? Or is Clive vegan and anemic also?
Steve Sailer says that IQ is inversely related to penis size. I'm really not sure how testicles fit into the equation. They must be connected, right?
Megan:
Bronchitis can morph into pneumonia and you don't want that! Trust me - I had it in April and I'm still not quite 100%. Take care of yourself.
All the best!
Jack
Feel better. Your public needs you.
This would result in
a) eating meat
b) feeling healthier
c) realizing she was wrong
(a) would be unlikely, but (c) makes impossible.
Fred, if you've been with this blog for a while, then you may recall that the veganism kick is only the latest in a long line of dietary experiments that previously included vegetarianism with dairy products, Atkins, and ominvorism with light consumption of only responsibly-farmed meats and dairy. Now it's veganism, and next year it might be South Beach. Who knows.
With that in mind, call it a hunch, but I suspect she might have some knowledge of how her body responds to different dietary inputs. In fact, she probably has MORE knowledge on the issue than most of her readers, and certainly than myself, since I've never tried any of those longer than a meal or two (and that was largely incidental, not intentional).
Given how frequently she gets ill, I wouldn't bet on it.
Maybe she just drinks a lot.
If you had been following the blog for a very long time, you would learn that Megan has had serious breathing difficulties for many, many years. Any pointing to recent dietary experiments (as strange as they may be, after all animals are MADE OF MEAT) is completely pointless.
I think someone has a crush, Pat
Sorry - Doctor Pat
Doctor in medicine?
If I had been following the blog for a very long time, then I imagine I would have breathing difficulties as well.
Posting at 4:11am? Shouldn't you be peering through Megan's window at that hour?
I had bronchitis myself earlier this year, so you have my complete sympathies. Hope you have a speedy recovery.
Fred,
4.11am only applies to whatever timezone the atlantic's server happens to be in. If this is the same timezone as you, then it looks like it is a sensible number, but otherwise....
Anyway, I'm clearly too far away to look through Megan's window, no matter how much I adjust the focus on my telescope.
I'll have to make do with Kari Byron videos off the internet.
