#1 Paul Coehlo wrote a decent book called "the alchemist" - I read it when I was in iraq the first time. I'd recommend it.

Clooney, lol. As the new UN messenger of peace I am sure he's enroute most rik-tik to bring that message to the janjaweed. Maybe he can impress them w/all that worldly knowledge he gained in that one semester he spent at Kentucky, or, I guess he could always do his rendition of Man of Constant Sorrow for the j-weeds.

#2 Hope George got a good night's sleep. He has his first official plea for assistance:

MILITANTS in Nigeria's violent oil region yesterday invited actor George Clooney to visit the area and asked for United Nations intervention in the conflict.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has designated Clooney a "messenger of peace" to promote UN activities, particularly its far-flung peacekeeping missions.

The 46-year-old actor has campaigned for an end to the war in the Darfur region of Sudan and aid for the millions caught in the conflict.

The invitation to Nigeria comes from the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta.

Welcome aboard the Peace Train, my friend!

#3 Wondered why I saw that 'Peacemaker' was on TV today. Wait, isn't that movie banned in the EU? Nevermind that he slayed vampire whores you just cannnot say 'muslim terrorist' or 'take the shot' or stand there and take 'holy rusted metal batman' without some sort of reprocusion. Period.

#4 It feels like some sort of Team America World Police grahpic would be appropriate here. Although I don't think Clooney was portrayed in the film?
