A funny thing happened on the way to this meme...

Apr 09, 2007 21:03

I'm not much of a meme girl - actually, this is the first I'm posting. Bu-ut... one of the instructions for this was to open the nearest book to page 23 and, when I grabbed the nearest book, I managed to open it first time on... yes, page 23! So, I decided that this was obviously something that needed sharing ( Read more... )

"Let's just say, and this isn't beyond the bounds of credibility, that you know, or know of a lady. Perhaps you have encountered one at your place of work. Perhaps her name's Veronica, and maybe she sits at the desk in front of you, and you're as familiar with her the way her hair sweeps the nape of her perfect neck as you are with the palm of your own greasy, calloused hand."

"Factual Support

If you can find facts to support your position or set a direction which makes your goal more obtainable, use them. Facts are most effective if they're from a disinterested third party, ... or your competition."

- Effective Meetings by Clyde W. Burleson

"I looked for the head of Mr. Apollinax rolling under a chair
Or grinning over a screen.
With seaweed in his hair."

T.S. Eliot's Collected Poems: From Mr. Apollinax.

I'm doing this again because I'm LAME.

Arming them, he said, would likely be a waste of money. Wolfowitz took a pop at Zinni in his published critique of the Clinton administration's Iraq policy. "Toppling Saddam is the only outcome that can satisfy the vital U.S. interest in a stable and secure Gulf region," he wrote in the New Republic magazine in December 1998.

From Thomas Ricks - Fiasco: The American Military Adventure in Iraq.

The New Republic. Gag. Neocons. Gag. Nothx. The book is quite good though. It does a fab job as painting U.S. VP Dick Cheney as a sociopath. I like that.
