LOL! The beginning was hysterical, sort of reminds me of the M.E. without the funny part.

I liked the music, too. Okay, I’ll leave you with one last Muse, because frankly when I get stuck on a new group I get stuck and I’m not sure how much you’d appreciate Fiona Apple.

This is Newborn:

Oh, I liked that one, Eli…very much. Wasn’t sure you were still here. This is turning into a private party. :)

Okay another Muse for you!

Tom Waits rocks.

I checked for more Augie March, and the only song I particularly liked was this one.

I’m happy to say that my copy of The Age of Fallibility came today. I hope I can finish by 4 p.m. Central.

Tom Ricks’ new book will be excerpted serially in WaPo:

In Iraq, Military Forgot the Lessons of Vietnam
Early Missteps by U.S. Left Troops Unprepared for Guerrilla Warfare

By Thomas E. Ricks
Washington Post Staff Writer
Sunday, July 23, 2006; Page A13

The real war in Iraq — the one to determine the future of the country — began on Aug. 7, 2003, when a car bomb exploded outside the Jordanian Embassy, killing 11 and wounding more than 50.

…sorry for my drive by, but Jane, if you are reading this…there is a wonderful organizer in Athol, Mass (should you be in that area) named Hattie Nestle (sp) who organizes protests against the war and is encouraging people to sign a petition for bush impeachment…my sister says she has gone to jail for her protesting in Mass and New Hampshire and has an antiques barn in Athol where she uses the profits for organizing and bailing herself out of jail…she has the war dead in huge numbers painted on her barn there…maybe you will see her or are you only in CT?…sorry to interrupt, carry on…
