Musings

Just saw Qaddafi speaking at the UN. Seems the only foreign policy accomplishment of the Bush Administration was to mainstream a Looney bird. ‘Yo, Q, what is wrong with you’.  The Brits cut a deal with this guy? Wow.

I bought a jar of Jif—I didn’t notice that is was low sodium and low fat. (Beware the white label) My bet is that it to the store after one of the local military bases refused to eat the crap. Like eating Vaseline.

Somehow mosquitos are getting into my room—though by ‘somehow’ I mean they are probably swarming in through one of the cracks around the window frames, or through the bathroom vent that doesn’t work. Nonetheless, they are attacking me at night and this afternoon when I had a really stiff neck and headache I concluded the only logical thing—meningitis. Right now it seems I may have a rare form of transient meningitis, as my aches and pains come and go.

I am glad that I am here and not at home with Glenn Beck peering out at me from newsstands—creepy.

My toilet hasn’t stopped running since I got here. The Kabul aquifer is being drained as I write. It seems the technology for toilet stoppers is a bit lacking. (Thus the reason for transporting BlackBerrys, and not toilets, to Kabul for repair).

You can get everything here that you need—tonight I got Honey Nut Cheerios. Nice. I hope they aren’t low sodium/no fat.
