“@UOJim: A: Yes. RT @XinJeisan what is a definition of "terrorism" used for? Policy, legal, cultural?”
@DrLeoStrauss There's a 4G Lenovo at BB for 280 bucks. I could probably survive on that. But you know the temptation for speed/power etc

Biden’s much awaited remarks on U.S. foreign policy at the Munich Security Conference get perfunctory tap applause. One supposes it can’t hurt to repeat Obama will hit the policy ‘reset button.’ Kristol’s complaint that the U.S. presented no new over arching, intoxicating strategic vision is peevish. A new administration can’t be expected to establish more [...]
Obama’s Inner Neocon – Fooled You Again!
How easily the U.S. steps into the unknown. Not burdened with strategic concerns about what to do, how to do it or how to get out. Everyone but the most dishonest Neocon admits a no-fly zone will have no impact on Khaddafi’s ability to crush the opposition on the ground. So the UN resolution is [...]
The Windup Girl, Capital Cities In A Swamp And Open Thread
A beautiful and finally tolerable day in the Imperial City. Call them ‘surrender monkeys’ all you want, but when Pierre L’Enfant in 1791 began designing Washington, D.C., he’s not the one who decided the capital should be on a swamp. Here’s an open thread. We’re tuning out for a day or two all the click-baiting, [...]

WTF is this duet? It would not even qualify for a Poli Sci 101 essay in a local community college for the Motivationally Challenged. Michael Hayden seems determined to underscore to the public that the L’esprit Bureaucratique encrusting the Community grows in new and baroque ways. Together with his turn with Timmy, what’s poor boy [...]
@lacp Yes, that would be me seeking to read the information from the graphic, and being distracted by the 8% on the pie chart. Thanks.

9/16 = unemployment rates
Must be a subtext here that I’m missing, since I don’t understand the “9% (really 16%)” qualifier. If this was, as the mouse-over indicates, a survey of 275 WH staffers, what the survey mostly tells me is that the WH is not a happy ship at the moment. Speaking of opinion polls, I also found this poll result most depressing: “Looking ahead for the next few years, which political party do you think will do a better job of keeping the country prosperous: the Republican Party or the Democratic Party?” 48-39 in favor of Republicans, virtually unchanged from last year (results here: http://www.pollingreport.com/institut2.htm).
