        While I'm no fan of Condi's hawkish diplomacy, I've always admired
        people with multiple professional-level talents.

        \_ Damn, why couldn't they consult with the motd first? Seems like
           we have more Russian speakers than the entire state department.

2/21    Isn't it weird that assassinated or attempted assassinated

        we say nicer things today?

1/24    Obama might win because of his race.  Hillary might win because of her
        gender.  If Condy Rice were to run this round, would she stand an even
        better chance just because her race (more Black than Obama) and gender
        might overcome her political stance?
        \_ No, because the disadvantage of her being so closely associated
           with the hated Bush would sink her despite gender/race advantage.

        CR: I don't know what I'll do long-term.

1/4     Why the fascination with blowing up airplanes? Airports have tight
        security. It doesn't seem worth it. It's far easier to derail a
        train or set off explosives in a crowded place like a theater or
        sporting event. As many or more people will be killed and it will
        still make the news. I don't get why all of our security, and
        apprently much of the terrorist's resources, is focused on airplanes.
