We are in control
I assume that every site and news outlet that exists has pointed here already, but who can deny the appeal of a politician whose venom is as colorful as that of Muhammed Saeed al-Sahaf.

  • "We have placed them in a quagmire from which they can never emerge except dead."
  • "They are nowhere near the airport ..they are lost in the desert...they can not read a compass...they are retarded."
  • "Our initial assessment is that they will all die"
Politics should either be like the Sammy Sosa, Mark McGwire home run race of 1999 or it should be like this. None of this in-between loyal opposition stuff.

So
This space's accidental hiatus is due more to long, festive, holiday meals than to any particular dearth of things to expound upon, nor worse. It's also tough to get much done at night when you've awoken at 4 AM four times in the last week. Just up and ready to go for the day. Sergey (at work) said, "Ah! I know what's happening to you. You're one of those people who will, for the rest of your life, wake up at four in the morning, bright eyed and bushy tailed, every day. Eventually you don't need to go to bed until about ten or eleven at night. It happened to me years ago. It's wonderful!"

So I'm not dying or anything, but it's pretty damn strange to be awake three hours before I have any reason to be. Must use this extra time for something...
