Wolfowitz

Wolfowitz needs to go. I dont think this because of the Shaha Ali Riza scandal. He needs to resign, because he is terrible as the president of the World Bank. Here is a guy who made a mess of many lives by leading US into a war with Iraq, and Bush rewards him with the post of World Bank President. His mandate was to clean up the World Bank Bureaucracy and to hold countries accountable for how they spend their loan monies. Very good, and much needed. But then, all he does is arbitrarily deny/grant loans to select countries, and appoint 'loyal bushies' to strategic posts. Other people at the World Bank were so alarmed by all this, they asked for some documented lending guidelines. Paul W. couldn't deliver.

Etch-A-Sketch

I was a kid when my uncle from the USA got me an etch-a-sketch as a present. I was quite taken with it. Many masterpieces were created and shaken back to blank canvases. Pam got me a small pocket etch-a-sketch many years ago. I found it under the bed tonight, and was twiddling with it. The picture doesn't mean anything, I was trying to see I could still draw with the toy. And I am delighted to let you know that I can still make the cursor go where I want it to go. You may see more etch-a-sketch doodles in the future. Hopefully they will be more substantial than this one.
