When I wrote this one, I thought I was being super clever by coming up with this fictitious “Electability Quotient.”  However, a quick Google search shows that the term has been in use for quite some time.  So much for being clever.

Also, why does this keep happening?

Last week I picked up Bob Harris’ latest book: “Who Hates Whom: Well-Armed Fanatics, Intractable Conflicts, and Various Things Blowing Up: A Woefully Incomplete Guide.”  It gives you background on the various (& sadly, numerous) hot spots around the globe.  Each region of the world has it’s own section & all of the bad news is a little easier to swallow with the help of Bob’s wit & humor.  I just finished up the entry for Kashmir & next up is “Nepal (with Bhutan added for extra enlightenment).”  I highly recommend you check it out.

Also, if any of you out there still think Dubya really gives a crap about your safety go read this post at Bob Harris’ blog.  Then wander off muttering obscenities…

So, I guess this idea didn’t go over so well with Iraqi lawmakers…
