Daily Dose of Dust
Jozef Imrich, name worthy of Kafka, has his finger on the pulse of any irony of interest and shares his findings to keep you in-the-know with the savviest trend setters and infomaniacs.
''I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center.''

Richard Clarke: Reviewed Revised Reread
First, real, hard-core lefties are going to be very uncomfortable reading this book. Pages 45-49 are a good example why. Clarke is clearly a hawk's hawk. He talks about being charmed by Perle's ideas and whatnot. I actually find this refreshing because he puts our actions in the Middle East into their proper context, e.g. we were fighting the Cold War.
The one passage I found that was really amusing was when he writes: "Agh, come up with a new thought. CIA and the Pentagon won't agree . . . ." Mort [Abramowitz] was relighting the stub of a cigar. "You wanna do something? Go see your friend Richard Perle, the Prince of Darkness, get him [to do it]."
Any thoughts on your end?
