#1 And the three blind men, each grasping a different part of the elephant, were each convinced that they, alone, grasped an accurate view of the whole.

Methinks our elephantness is rather more elusive than our critics are able to fathom.

#2 My other half is making more noise than usual , hence i cant sleep .. hell , even the dog has come downstairs for an halcyon moment .

Personally , I cant fault Bush for 'upping the anti' , its been on the cards a long time , now his inauguration has been finalized , we can start to finish the objectives .

#3 I wonder how soon/fast things will start popping with Syria and/or Iran. I have a vague, gut sense that it will start heating up soon, but nothing specific.

#4 These "interesting times" continue - at a gathering pace. The are very large moments on the horizon - I think a surprising number will vaporize, ala Libya, but some will be stupid enough to fight the tide. Historians, especially the young ones, must be creaming their jeans at the prospects.

G'night, Mac - when it finally overtakes you, heh.

#7 Zowie, .com, I didn't catch that link yesterday. That looks interesting; I'll peruse it tomorrow while the Giant Psycho Northeast Blizzard of '05 From Hell is raging outside, and get back to ya.

#8 Cool - I was taken aback by the fact that Pike & Co seem to think it's almost a year away - about 6 months longer than I would've guessed, but he's a damned smart guy, so...
