A message from the chief (interviewed in today's NY Times):

He laughed when asked about his admission on Wednesday, during a news conference, that he had not read the article in the periodical Foreign Affairs written in 2000 by Condoleezza Rice, his new secretary of state, laying out his foreign policy.

"I don't know what you think the world is like, but a lot of people don't just sit around reading Foreign Affairs," he said, chuckling. "I know this is shocking to you."


Incidentally, my subscription *may or may not* be good through 2012.

(Read the article yourself here. It's a pretty solid roadmap for U.S. foreign policy since the 2000 Presidential Election -- designed, in this article, to 'produce a leader comfortable with America's special role as world leader.' This is all I'm saying.)

Today Slovenia may or may not have accepted my Friendster invitation. (Is this bliss? Why yes, thank you for asking, yes it is.)

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. I'll be here all week. Be sure to tip your waitress.

I'll say it this time: I could do better.

I can't help but notice: $647 roundtrip Zagreb to Dulles leaving on Friday morning. The goal: attend Restaurant Week. Ah, Air France! You are a cruel, cruel temptress!

(Come on, folks, it's not like I haven't done stupid things before... it's not like you all need to tie up my comments pages listing them or anything. I mean honestly.)

And now, if you're indulge me, a poem:

Gmails are read,
emails we write.
All thanks to Gmail --
the truth and the light.

Oh ye sell-outs, few and far between, do you hear that sound breezing by you at an uncomfortably fast clip? That's happiness. Get on it. Truly, friend, I tell you: it is our ability to search not sort that separates us from animals.

(And when, exactly, were you going to tell me the good people at Gmail added POP? Did you think this wouldn't be life-changing? I love you, Oddpost, but until you start working with Firefox -- you're history.)

Man, I was coasting off that last (admittedly, brilliant) post for a while, huh? Maybe I'll just shake things up a bit by changing the picture.

Danas je . Čitate stalno Joshievo izaslanstvo.
