the talking dog

April 12, 2004, Monday, Monday...

A bleak and rainy day here in the big city... as the temp job rolls on, it looks like I got significant news today towards a permanent job... a job I'll be really happy to have... in the public sector (of course)... stay tuned...

As the politicization of the 9-11 Commission's "work" rolls on, Dick Clarke sells books, Condi Rice works on her coiff, and it appeared for a brief shining moment that the President might-- just might-- have admitted that it was just a little bit possible that SOMEONE in his government-- not him of course, but someone-- might have done just a little bit more to fight terrorism before 9-11 than they actually did-- Monday rolls on. Well, whatever he said-- he'll have a press conference tomorrow evening, and we'll get to hear what the Bush brain trust has to say in response to the recent revelations. I assume the usual friendly press will be present and well-behaved, but there may be a greater seriousness to it all-- and flippant references to terrorists and evildoers and 9-11 and Saddam Hussein AS ANSWERS IN THEIR OWN RIGHT may not be as well received. We'll see.

Which takes us to that other unpleasant subject, Iraq... this Slate piece by Sam Schechner gives us a nice compendium of what's going on over there. UN officials literally can't arrange secure enough meetings with Iraqi Council members to discuss just who and what will inherit sovereign power on 30 June, Paul Bremer more or less confirms this; Sadr agrees to cease fires-- but alas, his cease fires seem an awful lot like Hamas cease fires; lots of really unfortunate things going on there. Honestly, they're too sad to talk about. War is always troubling-- but unnecessary discretionary wars should be most troubling. (Thanks to VP Moomaw for the heads-up).

Tomorrow's another day...

Please, please, please let some of those lapdog members of the W.H. Press Corps go off the reservation and ask unscripted questions like "What the hell were you thinking when you saw that PDB? The impression you and your NSA have given is that it wasn't specific enough; you needed phone numbers, names and addresses. Are you idiots?"

Good luck on the job.

I am in a moral quandry.
My friend searches for http://cheating.any1in.us/private-investgator.html private investgator on google to screen potential roommates.
He found any1in.us , but did not visit.
I, on the other hand, searched for http://cheating.any1in.us/cheating-spouse.html cheating spouse and found any1in.us.
I went there and found that http://detectives.any1in.us/kinship.html kinship were easier to find than on google.
Should I tell him that his potential roommate is a http://www.any1in.us/aol-spy.html aol spy ?
