- As luck would have it, there is no category called 'Honking Great Hypocracies' so I have had to settle for filing this under 'Education' instead. But that's appropriate too because this story is nothing if not instructive: Labour leaders backed Diane Abbott, the Left-wing MP, yesterday over her decision to educate her son privately, days after condemning a Tory MP for saying he would do the same. Ms.Abbott has used her wealth, status and privilege... |

- Je suis bordélique. Dans mes affaires, et dans ma tête. Par contre, je sais que je vis mal (dans) la dispersion. Par exemple, j'ai peu d'ami(e)s fidèles. Je suis passée en trois ans par un grand nombre de copains (partage le pain) et copines (hum), et à présent, il reste les "vieilles", les mêmes, celles qui ne m'ont jamais trahie (ou alors je ne m'en suis jamais rendue compte et c'est mieux ainsi). |

- Peter Drayton called me up from Redmond yesterday and said he was stuck at SeaTac and asked me to help run the Rotor BOF. It turns out that the awesome Ted Neward (co-author of THE Rotor book), Brad Abrams, and O'Reilly's John Osbourne were all helping so I was in great company as they know far more than me about Rotor. It was a a great honor. Brad indicated that the CLR group has taken over ownership for Rotor; i. |
