Yikes.

Does having diplomatic immunity change behavior (automatic get-out-of-jail card)?

Discuss.

(Self-promotion begins…) My take. 2 (…and ends.)

I've been kicking around the subject of Afghanistan's opium trade. Wouldn't a NATO effort to curtail said trade (through margenalizing the source: farming) be counterintuitive in the same respect of Bremers myopic course of action in Iraq? Given the US domestic take (war on drugs) doesn't this present something of a catch-22?

Just finished Sagan's Varieties of Scientific Experience. Nothing new (taken from lectures in the 80s) but still good to hear (read) the man's voice.

The infiltration of Putin's network continues. This weekend involved wine and the feigned learning of the phrase 'ya nimnoga punamayu paruski' though all here are well aware of my extensive Muscovite vocabulary.

Soon Michael and I visit Tyler at his abode. Camping is somewhat likely, though weather must cooperate. In transit I shall finish 'Smartest Guy in the World' and 'All Quiet on the Western Front'. Once I have enough reviews to put Bizarro to shame, I may link them in.

We have purchased tickets to the wedding in Nashville. You don't need to buy tickets for the wedding itself, but walking would be crowded, we've opted to fly.

Read a brief blurb that '300' is an anti-Iranian propaganda piece sponsored by DoD. Wish I had the link. Check fark.

But I also use Performancing for Firefox [1] , now called “ScribeFire”, for writing new entries or even just notes and proto-entries about whatever I'm reading, and since it sits in the lower half of the screen, I can copy-paste info from sites to it, either saving as a note or publishing to the blog if the entry's ready.

Scrapbook would allow the creation of a very interesting resident “research library”, however. I'm not that systematic, though!

Has the loss of Bangladesh made West Pakistan more or less governable?

I imagine the same would be true of West West Pakistan, as well.

Luke,

New Guys or Nice Guys? :-p

Tyler,

If you've been here for the past two months, you caught a month of really sad blogging. Sorry for the bad introduction.

I am glad tdaxp is interesting

Adam,

Excellent! How 'bout a link to Dreaming 5GW [1] from the Metropolis Times? [2]

Jayson,

I love those links! The focus on market solutions is really, really important.

I haven't tried scrapbook, but I use delicious [3] and its firefox plugin a lot.

Just wondering.

I use your 5GW and other archived series's as personal reference.

Well, anyway, that's what the blogger thinks…

So–is it a Good idea? Bad idea?
What say everybody?
