Billytea have not read it. I admit the call for "carefully calibrated military interventions" is one I find suspicious, but can't comment until I read it. Unfortunately, my schedule is full until July.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Yeah. His position is rather better principled than, say, the current administration's, being focused on preventing genocidee, internecine civil war and/or state collapse (such as Rwanda, Sierra Leone and Somalia), but it still carries the risk of going wrong, and keeping governments committed to higher-minded principles may be an even greater challenge.

Still, for all that I'd have preferred to see (for instance) intervention in Rwanda.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesse, did you know you are no longer being a scofflaw with the flying with the lighter in your pocket?

I did! Thanks.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I got info on department birthdays from the employee who used to have my job - she gave me her calendar, I copied the dates.

I had yesterday as her b'day. I got slammed in the afternoon and so did not go get her flowers as planned (not everyone would get flowers, but she is the ex-admin and when I asked the boss, he said to get something). So, this morning I run early to get a nice bouquet. I take them to her apologize they were not here yesterday - BLANK STARE. Apparently, what I read as her b'day on her calendar, was her DOG'S b'day. good lord. I hope I can still get reimbursed.

Trust my rage

I watched Grey's Anatomy last night and that show has just gone down hill so much. I totally would not miss it if I took if off my Tivo.

So, sure enough, the cable guy just got here for my 10-2 appointment. I totally knew he would be early... not sure why. At least the problem magically got worse this morning and not better like I was afraid of.
