Just one stands out for beauty and comprehensiveness and ALSO for utter prescience, because this result was foretold.

Romney, by not having written a concession speech “just in case,” tempted “the wrath of the whatever from high atop the thing.”

Rather than grumble, I thought I’d just post it where people might appreciate it:

President Romney: The First 90 Days

My own favorite line was about expanding the Navy with a “Cash for Clunker Yachts” program. But there’s something for everyone, just the way Mitt would have wanted!

So on Thursday, in a spurt of lunacy, I created a fake OKCupid profile for Mitt Romney. The OKCupid Robot was not amused and the profile was deleted, which is entirely understandable … fake dating profiles being the scourge of the Internets, and all.

But that doesn’t mean it wasn’t a good idea.

So I sent a version of Mittster’s profile off to a guy I know and today I’m finally on the cover of the Rolling Stone Salon.com.

Oh, and, in case you were wondering, my own OKCupid username is scribblebot. ;)

This is a good thing, because I plan to offer the book online.

The site for the book, as before, will be at www.beautyfromafar.com. I’m switching to the blog format. It will take me a while to sort out how best to present the book. An e-book will be available for download … but today is the first day of this project, and I have a lot of decisions to make and work to do.

I’d be interested in hearing from other authors who have put their books online. And, as I said — the rights to the book are mine and I am willing to entertain offers for what could very quickly become one of the most trafficked medical tourism sites on the Internet.
