..aaand we're back to the normal foolishness. I'd been contemplating a Mad-lib style Bourdain-o-Matic,* so you can generate your own Bourdain posts on Ruhlman.com, for when Tony is eating animal faces and drinking obscure moonshines in some far-off archipelago with no wireless. And then Bourdain surprises by turning down the bluster, and dropping a solid handicapping of the contestants on the new FN show. There is something of the throwing the hand that feeds under the bus inherent when Bourdain does this kind of thing, but the Squeaky Fromme reset makes it entertaining: The spacy Colombe comes off like Squeaky Fromme. There's a tripped out messianic vibe to her Personal Mission to share the glory of Healthy and Organic food with the public that would NEVER sit well with an audience of Twizzler and Ho-Ho internet explorer browser aters. Hell, she scares ME. Her total disconnection from reality should make entertaining television however--right up until her psychotic break, when she comes in with her head shaved, a little "X" carved in her forehead and a butcher knife and takes a lunge at Tuschman. This is not quite Joseph Mitchell territory, but it seems a bit more like Bourdain writing to entertain and inform, as in KC, rather than writing to burnish the Bourdain brand, which has seemed the case quite frequently since then. *I had the idea independently, but YPR's Raymond Carver Mad Lib is a much more fully realized iteration of the concept.

I have contended for some time that acting justly is, on the whole, good economic policy. This is particularly true when we think in terms of total return on investment. A perfect example of this belief is highlighted in today's NY Times. It turns out that hospitals have discovered they lose less money treating the uninsured when they offer preventative medicine rather than waiting until the patient is so sick they require emergency care. (Full story here - free sub. req.) As a culture, why don't we think like this? I don't know for sure, but here are some guesses: Our Theology is Short-Sighted - The predominant American Christian view of God's work in the world is that we are in a holding pattern until Jesus returns to enact a big cosmic do-over. Big problem if you are asking corporations or governments to think about the 20-, 40- and 80-year effects of their policies and actions. Investors are Short-Sighted - Investors have bought the false belief that the most important questions are things like quarterly earnings and P/E ratios. Investors generally do not pay attention to measurements of long-term viability, the impact to the taxpayer on their activity or a corporation's response to depletion used car dealer colorado f the very natural resources required to sustain their business model. So, for example, we ask whether Massey energy is keeping their costs under control and not what they will do when coal becomes too scarce to mine profitably.

It looks like the Washington Post is doing Senator Roberts' work for him. The buck-passing to the intelligence community disolves at every turn. Read away: In late January 2003, as Secretary of State wireless rebate olin Powell prepared to argue the Bush administration's case against Iraq at the United Nations, veteran CIA officer Tyler Drumheller sat down with a classified draft of Powell's speech to look for errors. He found a whopper: a claim about mobile biological labs built by Iraq for germ warfare. Drumheller instantly recognized the source, an Iraqi defector suspected of being mentally unstable and a liar. The CIA officer took his pen, he recounted in an interview, and crossed out the whole paragraph. A few days later, the lines were back in the speech. Powell stood before the U.N. Security Council on Feb. 5 and said: "We have first-hand descriptions of biological weapons factories on wheels and on rails." This is what a politicized intelligence process looks like. The rest .
