4/23    Is there some competition between Tom Clancy and Robert Jordan to
        see who can produce the longest books? 800-1000pgs per novel. Ack.
        \_What did Robert Jordan write?
          \_ The Wheel Of Time series, which hardbacks combined weigh more
             than I do.
        \_ Its all crap anyway, who cares?  Go buy the Xanth series in
           hardback if you want to read by weight instead of quality.
           \_ Go and get some Ayn Rand instead.  Utter drivel like
              Piers Anthony, but some people think it's "deep."
                \-It is shakespeare's bday today. Go read Merchant of Venice
                or Henry V. --psb
                \_ I found a new deeper meaning to life in the Xanth books.:-)
        \_ Try "Don Quixote."

6/12    Brilliant! Police can bar recruits for having high IQ scores
        http://csua.org/u/lqs (NYTimes)
        \_ But New London police interviewed only candidates who scored 20 to
           27, on the theory that those who scored too high could get bored
           with police work and leave soon after undergoing costly training.
        \_ This is VERY old news.  I've been talking about cops who clearly

9/24    Wow, they don't have gays in Iran
        http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D8RS115O0&show_article=1
        \_ There are no gays in the US military, either.
           \_ Why pick on Iran?  How about Saudi Arabia?  How come we have
              no issue with Saudi chopping people's hands off, gauging eyes
              off, and stone women to death?  In fact, we love Saudi so much

        Hamas routing larger Fatah security forces, may take over Gaza
        territory from Palestian unity government.  Fear is that Gaza
        will become a "full terrorist state".
        Abbas to dissolve unity government, call for new elections, buying
        undetermined amount of time where Hamas is not officially in power.

4/5     What do you think about Pelosi's Middle East diplomatic efforts?
        Yay Nancy?  Violation of Separation of Powers?  Good job?  Naive and
        screwing things up?
        \_ Pelosi was a super hottie when she was in her early 20s. Man
           those Italian women are HOT HOT HOT (when they're young).
        \_ on the whole it's not a big deal.  plenty of republicans
