I would love to see your personal stuff on Facebook, as well as any pithy comments you have. I am on there a few times a day and I like to keep up with my friend’s lives.

P.S. My mom said again how much she likes you and Alison. We all think you are very special people.

I recently found archive.org as a free resource for keeping data available. There mission is to preserve the web – that might be a good place to stash the old stuff.

Comment on THE USAID HOCKEY STICK GRAPH by C.B.

C.B. — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 02:38:50 +0000

That hockey stick effect is related to the Iraq/Afghan wars. The spike in expenditures is partly aid-for-participation deals with other countries to bring them into (or hold them in) the “coalition of the willing”. That is, it’s not money for development given in the spirit of altruism. To be fair, however, it also is due to the fact that Bush did triple aid to Africa, which seems to have been given with honest intent. I think a conservative would agree that in meeting policy objectives, how much money is spent means much less than how it is spent. Where a progressive and conservative would disagree in this case, for example, is the emphasis of A to the point of exclusion of B&C in the ABC anti-HIV policies. Thus, the graph is not all that substantively informative at the end of the day without an explanation of where the money went.

Oh thanks, Mick! I love it when the Cheney-monkeys come out. Mention his name, and they start shrieking, crying, and poop flinging.

Good times.

I see you’ve thrown out the Cheney strip and attracted some flies, Mick.

Why is it that so many people can’t get their minds around the difference between “Saddam had contacts with al Qaeda”, which he did, and “Saddam pulled off 9/11″, which there’s no evidence of? It’s as if IQ’s suddenly dropped after 9/11, making some incapable of the least amount of Googling required to read the Resolution for Use of Force.

Cheney riles people up because he’s refuses to believe the false conventional wisdom created around something of which he was an integral part.
