Oh My God

It'll go into a paid archive soon, but Maureen Dowd gets off the best one-liner I've seen in ages in today's New York Times:

"(T)he Rummy Doctrine — using underwhelming force to achieve overwhelming goals."

Kinda puts the whole Iraq offensive -- which was neither shocking nor awesome, a plebe at West Point could've come up with that overall assault plan -- in perspective, don't it?

I agree with her way more often than I disagree with her, but I wish her writing wasn't so infuriating.

hi, i saw you added me to your friends list...do i know you?

[hal-obrien.livejournal.com]

No, probably not. I saw your comment to evilhomer about her fishnets, thought you looked interesting, and added you on the basis of your info page. Which means I never saw the stuff about "friends only", for which I apologize. I know many folks take "friends" literally, even as many don't (me among them) -- but I try not to make anyone uncomfortable. I'll de-list you, if you want.

[hal-obrien.livejournal.com]

Thank you. That's most flattering, and I appreciate it. You're very kind.
