I'm really starting to consider whether there are alternatives to dropping MrsBlue off at the train station each morning. Today I had another two (two!) near misses in covering the mile-or-so between the BlueTower and the train station, including a tire screecher that I still cannot believe did not involve contact. The cause, of course, is all the numb nut Sunday drivers heading to the train station to commute, so the quandary here is whether reducing the risk of a fender-bender in our own personal car is a justifucation for potentially increasing her risk of having an incident because she would then be traveling with a (numb nut) cab driver. Damn, it's the Kobyashi Maru... time to recode the simulator.

Everyone in the know

So I guess everyone "in the know" excludes every leader of the western world (U.S. + Europe), Russia, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Israel, and the U.N. since 1990?

Some people made some educated conclusions that turned out to be correct. It would've been nice to know for sure without an invasion, but I doubt there would've been any sort of closure on the issue without one. Saddam sure as hell wasn't going to give in completely and willingly on his own.

Hazard a guess as to what that might be.

A strategic foothold in a region that has been problematic to the rest of the world since the early 1900's?

Oh wait, sorry, it was OIL. All OIL! Yay oil! So why am I still paying $1.80/g?
