Money for Nothing:

One year later, the fate of international disaster assistance has turned into a tale of inept bureaucracy, diplomatic bungling, and unspent cash."

Am I too old for... clothes?

Am I too old for... clothes?:

"What's an image-conscious girl to wear as she slides tragically towards her forties? Not leather miniskirts. Not baseball boots. Mimi Spencer searches her dressing-up box for an outfit that goes with motherhood and making chutney."

To Blog or Not To Blog

No Day at the Beach:

"In the height of summer-holiday season, bloggers face the inevitable question: to blog on break or put the blog on a break? Fearing a decline in readership, some writers opt not to take vacations. Others keep posting while on location, to the chagrin of their families. Those brave enough to detach themselves from their keyboards for a few days must choose between leaving the site dormant or having someone blog-sit."

I've done the guest-blogger thing, and it was cool, but these days when I do manage to escape my house and life for more than a day, I tend jus to not worry about there being no posts on my blog. If my readers love me, they will allow me a vacation. :D

Media Monitoring

"The U.S. command in Baghdad is seeking bidders for a two-year, $20 million public relations contract that calls for monitoring the tone of Iraq news stories filed by U.S. and foreign media."

I don't know why they would bother monitoring the media. The last I heard they have been paying people to write a good bit of it ... to make themselves look good, of course.
