Infuriating

I just heard this speech that Dubbya gave today from the pentagon

BUSH: Mr. Secretary, thank you for your hospitality, and thank you for your leadership. You are courageously leading our nation in the war against terror. You are doing a superb job. You are a strong secretary of defense. And our nation owes you a debt of gratitude.

I have to say that I find this absoultely infuriating. Granted I’m not surprised at all but it still makes my blood boil.. I can think of a few things this nation owes Rhumsfeld but gratitude isn’t really on the list.

Foreign Policy for a Democratic President

I just read this article in ‘Foreign Affairs‘ and was very impressed:

Foreign Policy for a Democratic President
Samuel R. Berger
From Foreign Affairs, May/June 2004

I’m not sure I agreed with all of his conclusions but regardless he makes a LOT of very good points. Its a little lengthy (OK.. A LOT) but its definitely well worth the read.

New look for couch potatoes

Just heard about this on NPR and it made me giggle
