Basketball Fever
I'm off to Philips Arena in a few minutes to watch our Hawks take on the Dallas Mavericks (are you watching Charlie?) after which I shall rush home to watch the Eastern Regional Final featuring Georgetown and Carolina..........go Tarheels! It doesn't seem like 25 years have passed since Carolina knocked off Georgetown to win the National Title, but then I guess that is just the way it is with time.
A couple of thoughts to keep you occupied: first, I found an interesting political social space at www.adonkeyandanelephantwalkintoabar.com. Not too many conservatives registered, but they welcomed me and it seems like a nice group of folks who are genuinely interested in the political landscape.
Second, what do you think is going to happen with the situation between Iran and the UK? I have a very bad feeling about things and suspect than unless Iran releases the 15 British Marines they captured at sea last week the tension in the Middle East is going to significantly increase. I would not put it past the Brit's to take some very serious action if Iran does not back off of its current position. Tony Blair is not in the mood for fooling about and he will be pressured to be aggressive in this situation. Watch this space closely as it may be the key to the next major escalation in the Middle East.
Finally, what is up with all of these job boards? Can't they find an easy way to allow a person to post a bio and CV without having to cut and paste and edit to fit a particular format? I am registered with The Ladders, Blue Steps, Blue Chip and started to register with snagajob.com this morning, but gave up after realizing that it is going to take more than a few minutes to get everything populated. Hell, they don't even have an option for registering education outside of the States. We need one global board that provides an easy to post format that accommodates whatever style you want to present yourself in, even video if you'd like.......actually, that isn't a bad idea........video resumes are hot right now and putting them somewhere besides You Tube would be great!
Okay, must run, but everyone have a delightful day and remember to root for Carolina.

Pat;
Pity that UNC lost. Jim was not in a happy mood. He was, however, slightly philosophical and allowed that UNC has not really jelled as a team (yet). This will cost him another lunch. On the positive side, his former boss has about a 4 or 5 to 1 deficiet on lunches. I suppose I'll have to root for G'Town even if it is a Jesuit school.
Let's see what PM Blair does. The real question is; do we (the U.S.) get invited to the procedings or not; and if invited do we want to go?

I think getting Ghosts good information ผีดุ on the site is a great benefit to be able to continue.
