I guess you got approved to go?

What is the big project? When will you announce it? Why would you post this crap, we like blogs because the info is here now. I demand information. Damn you Totten.

Hopefully your own radio talk show ? Or a TV show ? I would love to see a nationally-syndicated talk show host who would make both the Religious Right and the Loony Left angry ! Any chance you might be teaming up with Dennis Miller ? :-)

Is it legal? I just hope that Michael Totten is not about to be arrested. Blogging from prison can be somewhat difficult.

Aynthing, as long as it isn't "Welcome to the Dark Side, my little friends"...

:-)

I guess more Friends of Democracy related.

I hope a TV weekly roundup of blogs and news of the ME/ Islamic world.

I am eager for accurate info -- and inciteful thinking.

(I also suspect there will be not an iota of support for anything to do with the Spanish Inquisition)

the biggest explosion in southern Afghanistan........................

1. You're replacing Kofi Annan for the top spot at the U.N.
2. Roger Simon's replacing Annan, and you're helping him move his stuff.
3. You saw her, the bodyguard just off Kaddafi's right shoulder. Your eyes met. Something happened in that moment. You always knew you'd go back for her, the one with the gimlet eye, the beret, and the earpiece...

I know! I know! You've finally decided to pursue a career in professional baseball?

Sex change?

I also suspect there will be not an iota of support for anything to do with the Spanish Inquisition.

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!

Well, I know you're happily married, so I'm betting the Khadafi bodyguard is out. Probably the gender reassignment too.

But if your travels happen to take you anyplace where there are lots of great-looking women, I hope you'll remember your single friends back in Portland ...

You're going to Lebanon with Jim Hake?!

Hey, call me if you need an aide-de-camp!

Patricia,

How did you find out? I posted my announcement eleven minutes after you posted your comment.

I got the email from SOA today about the trip. Then I saw your excited post and put 2 and 2 together.

Have a great trip and take lots of pictures!

"But if your travels happen to take you anyplace where there are lots of great-looking women..."

Patricia guessed correctly but Asher wins the psychic prize. After all, he didn't get the email.

Asher wins the restraint prize. He already knew!

Heh.

I didn't want to spill the beans, especially since I thought you might be keeping it quiet for security reasons.

Do have a good (and SAFE) trip.

"But if your travels happen to take you anyplace where there are lots of great-looking women..."

Could we puh-leeze have some pics of Lebanese Protest BOYS for once??

Actually a tarot card reader just told me I'm very intuitive, so maybe the ol' ESP kicked in. Now I'm concentrating on the winning lotto numbers....

Patricia,

I'll see what I can do, just for you.

"Could we puh-leeze have some pics of Lebanese Protest BOYS for once??"

Remember what Brooke Shields almost single-handedly did for the anti-smoking cause in the US? Well I'd say we're in dire need of some images of really cool (well - in my day we said cool - now it's "hot") liberal, women-loving Lebanese guys to redefine the image of ME manhood. It's a propoganda war and you're heading to the front lines. Please do take your mission seriously :-)

LOL, I'm with you, Caroline! Cool.
