The computers are down, the storms are out and those of us booked on the 6:25 to Burbank are delayed to 9:00PM at the mininum. At least the WiFi is working down by the Old Sushi Bar (known hereabouts as “Deep Blue” with only so-so sushi), so here I am whining to you about my fate. “I like New York in June… How about you?” Well, no Gershwin tunes playing at JFK tonight. Welcome to the summer travel season.

Well, you can amuse yourself while you’re waiting with this explanation of the workings of the Muslim male’s psyche, “Clouding Men’s Minds”, by the lovely and talented Dymphna, Baroness Bodissey. Not that I’m prejudiced or anything…
Roger, Jet Blue will take care of you. They are the best airline in the nation for good reason:

Roger,
Have you seen Cinderella Man yet?
Roger,
While you’re twiddling you thumbs. Beware of the “puffer fish.” The enemy may try to slip a fast fin by you.
While your biding your time how about plugging a very worthwhile program I just ran across:
Women Are Afghanistan’s Veiled Reserve: Help Unleash Their Talents
WOC Link to Good News from Afgan
And while were at it, Dr. Zin could sure use a little help from The Blogos:
Iran:
Subtitle the MSM is no longer relevant!
WOC Winds of War post
Imagine at your finger tips while you’re waiting you may be that little extra soul in THE FORCE that brings about the world’s first digital revolution!
Power to the Net and The Blogos!
May the force be with you.
Ron beat me to it-
For the love of god man- sounds like you are tempted to eat the sushi-
Don’t do it!-
Death by Sushi is not an ‘end’ that sounds appetizing….
One of my links at WOC appears to be dead. I just posted this correction over there for those who don’t want to go on a treasure hunt. This is what you get when you’re trying to be slick with slinging code:

Sorry my link to the Winds of War briefing appears to be dead here’s the full URL:

and here’s the direct link to (ed note: unless you like to visit several other sites):
Women Are Afghanistan’s Veiled Reserve . . .
A worthwhile program deserving of our support. A secret capitalistic weapon in the GWOT:

My wife saw this on the back of a Lion Yard Company label:

OK – They work for me now. Damn the enemy they’re everywhere!
Well, if you’re on JetBlue, here’s some musical accompaniment: The Burqa Blues, from Afghanistan:
Don’t know if they do any Gershwin, but I’ll bet if you hum a few bars they’ll pick it right up.
They ought to be singing for JetBlue, for sure.
First the link disappeared and then blogger ate the html
The Burqa Blues
Eat the sushi Roger. Fugu, on the other hand, is an entirely different matter.
Having lived & worked in the industry for over 30 years, I’m fairly sure that Roger isn’t adverse to sushi. What he’s not open to is bad sushi (which is literally dimes a dozen).
So-so sushi is one thing. To eat or not to eat, is an appropriate question. But fugu, in a realm beyond taste, ultimately is either good or bad, an answer to the question of will you be or will you not be.
In case anyone is interested, MSNBC has posted the transcript for this morning’s Katie Couric – Kofi Annan interview. And yes, it’s as bad as you think it is.
An excerpt that includes Ms. Couric’s final comment:
Couric: You literally have the weight of the world on your shoulders.
Annan: I do. But not everybody understands that.
Yup. The weight of the world on his shoulders and a good deal of the money of the world in his son’s and staff’s pockets.
