From CNN's story about the Porter Goss resignation...
Former CIA Director Stansfield Turner told CNN that Goss may have resigned because he was passed over for the position of director of national intelligence, which went to Negroponte.
Yeah, it wasn't because of potential scandal about parties with hookers, but because he got passed over for a "better" job.
The agency was recently rocked when Mary McCarthy was fired, reportedly for allegedly leaking information about secret prisons to The Washington Post. McCarthy's lawyer denies that she was the source for the Pulitzer Prize-winning story.
Don't fire the people who created and now run the secret torture prisons, fire and prosecute the person who told the press about it.
I hate (almost) everybody.
I think I wasn't clear enough about wanting my hair to be cut below my shoulders. Not above.
Oh, no! I was afraid that picture would be interpreted on the short side.
I am dead certain that you look great, Allyson, but I am also sure that you don't want to hear it so I won't mention it again.
Allyson pretty much always looks better than she thinks.
The topic reminds me that not only am I in dire need of a 6mm buzz and a bleach job, but also that running out of my one true product means it looks almost as bad as it can get.
Maybe tonight, but I really should go to the gym.
Boss² doesn't like the project plan I submitted. It was developed with the help of a non-developer who had also never seen the application that needed to be upgraded. He's the only guy I could get to come to my meetings. So he wins.
Help desk has remote control of my desktop for the third time in two days. I think I can write their script now.

Sean, you need better sources for your Peter Goss dirt.
Now, corrupt contractors saucing up Agency officials and members of Congress to get contracts and free money. Hospitality suites where the saucing takes place. Hookers in the mix. It's going on for more than a decade, various members of the key committees in the mix. Goss, former member of one of those committees, appoints one of the key players in all this mess as the number three guy at CIA?
I'm sorry that the haircut isn't what you wanted, Allyson.
Okay, grades finalized for one class. Now to lunch, then I'll do the rest of the grades.
msbelle, I hear you talking about freecyling and am totally intrigued. I have a desk to get rid of, an office chair and some glass shelves. I did the freecycle dot com and gots nowhere. What's the site? Otherwise, I shall craigslist.
At least the New York freecycle thing is a yahoogroups mailing list.
You even got a superscript in there. I bow before the master.
This is kinda sad:
Several hit TV series of the past, including WKRP in Cincinnati, The Wonder Years and Beverly Hills, 90210, have not been released on DVD because they contain popular music on their soundtracks and the producers did not purchase rights to use the songs for home-video, the Wall Street Journal reported today (Friday). Owners of the shows have since learned that relicensing the rights now is either too expensive or too difficult to negotiate. Sony has produced DVD versions of four seasons of Married ... With Children, but without the theme, Frank Sinatra's "Love and Marriage," because it was unable to reach a licensing deal for it, the newspaper said.
However, it renews my amazement that Miami Vice is out on DVD.
Okay. New project #2 meeting went okay. Now I have to see what Boss² wants to do about #1. If it's not too urgent (ha!) I might get that nap after all. Worst comes to worst, I get a walk away from perfume lady.
