Homeland Fun: Looks like I will be taking off a day of work tomorrow and spending the weekend taking it easy. I'm hoping a simple soar throat and slightly painful cough doesn't turn into Pneumonia or Bronchitis. Wouldn't that be fun boys and girls?

Foreign Fun:The following is from a very insightful interview with former Ambassador Joseph Wilson:

TPM:... So, setting aside why we're in Iraq, how we go there, whether we should have gone in in the first place, where are we now? Where do you see our position right now?

WILSON: Well, I think we're fucked. I think the--we should have learned from the bombing of the United Nations building that there was all sorts of anti--not just American but anti-international presence--pressure building within Iraq. And I think we should have reacted rather quickly to that by attempting to truly embrace the United Nations in the sense of internationalization.
