i'm kinda bored.

from tonight's #greytalk session:

<Fancyp625> wow, Captain Teniel is so wise...
<Fancyp625> he claims "a man who cannot drink and dance, will never enter a ladies' pants"

the New Yorker has a depressing article on our inability to create lasting positive change in Afghanistan. the action against the Taliban was nothing more than Rumsfeld warming up his team for the big game in Iraq, and there's been no effort to pick up the pieces of the mess we created when we drove them out. none til now, anyway, with the upcoming Afghan election seen to have some impact on our own in November. hey Bush, it's the late nineteenth-century British Empire calling - they want their embarrassing failures in Afghanistan back.
