I would like to send out good thoughts into the blogosphere for the Maximum Leader’s relations. They are good folk. I hope everything works out well for them.

The Foreign Minister has taken me to task for saying that people used the Guard to avoid Vietnam service. I am preparing a response, but it is likely to be another of my “brevity is the soul of wit” efforts, so I need a bit o’ time to formulate my response.

Woo-hoo! I love being spanked by the Foreign Minister. He’s firm but fair.
