ZDRAVO JETTO -- Combine two of the least efficient things known to humankind -- the District of Columbia and the Department of Motor Vehicles -- and you just might have the premiere date spot of winter 2003/4. Nestled between overloved superior courts and beleagured frankfurteers on C Street NW, the DC DMV headquarters is a land where all things are possible. Where justice is meted out and compassion flows like mother's milk. And where, for far more money that I could ever possibly afford, I managed to register my Jetta.

You want to be a futurologist? Fine. Be a futurologist. It helps if you have a name like Faith Popcorn. And of course you'll need the chutzpah to say, "My going rate is $200 an hour." Then you just have to stand up and say, "Water, man. It's all about water. Forget everything but water. Yeah."

The Croatian weekly Nacional reports tonight that recently deposed Georgian President Eduard Shevardnadze has accused Hungarian snuggle-bunches George Soros of financing his overthrow.

Ahem, diplomacy is closed: "French diplomats staged their first-ever strike on Monday in a protest over planned budget cuts. Some embassasies and consulates were closed, while others offered much-reduced staffing levels and services. Missions in Italy and Pakistan were badly hit, and Jakarta ambassador Renaud Vignal declared himself on strike while remaining at his desk... 'There isn't a kopek at the ministry,' said Yvan Sergesse of the UNSA union."

Now that's news. I think we can all find something funny here.

Danas je . Čitate stalno Joshievo izaslanstvo.
