The World of Bad Ideas
Commenting on her life after this administration Rice claimed she wanted to return to the world of ideas ( a university position). I suppose that is as opposed to the world of bad ideas where she is now.
Actually that is not a bad idea for a book: "Rice and the World of Bad Ideas" based on characters from "Alice in Wonderland". Cheney will play the Queen of Hearts, Rumsfeld the Mad Hatter, Bush the Hare ( Well atleast he can run fast), the army in Iraq the deck-of-cards soldiers at the beck of the queen of hearts.

The "Reach the Final" Statement
What's with the reach the final statement? After the chaos of the hockey setup one month before the world cup the newly appointed coach after stating all that was wrong mentioned nonchalantly, "We will reach the final." It was funny even though it was sad. Actually they ended up sixth.
Now with all the chaos of the cricket setup Younis has commented that they will reach the final. Even for a very good and stable team that is a tall claim. What is Younis basing it on? Even reaching the semifinal will be a tough ask though it is possible. And yes reaching the final is always a possibility and so is winning but the statement comes across as, "Yeah no problem reaching the final but after that I don't know." If it is supposed to somehow instill confidence then why stop at reaching the final, just say, "We will win it." It won't be any more ridiculous.

The Dark Side
A few days back with all the cospiracy theories involving Cheney I had joked that the theories are sounding more and more as if Cheney were Darth Vader personified and we may soon be hearing how Mary Cheney is princess Leah carrying on a secret grudge rebellion, so it was amusing to hear that Cheney had actually made the comment, "We have to work the dark side, if you will. Spend time in the shadows of the intelligence world." To the nerds Lucas was already a messiah. This confirms his seer credentials.
