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.

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.

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.

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).

Eat the sushi Roger. Fugu, on the other hand, is an entirely different matter.

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.

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: http://www.windsofchange.net/archives/006956.php#c6 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: http://www.bpeace.org/projprog_afghan.php My wife saw this on the back of a Lion Yard Company label: http://www.lionbrand.com/Newsletters/afghanVisit.html OK - They work for me now. Damn the enemy they're everywhere!

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….

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.
