The Richard Clarke book is a case in point. Although it is selling well, it

support in the book, but people who think the government is doing a fine job
don't believe it.

The people who think the government is doing a fine job won't be buying
the book at all.



I do miss the old days, though. There was nothing so enervating as listening
to R. Tirana, when Albania hated everybody.


I used to think enervating meant something like invigorating, or
energizing. Then I found out it meant the OPPOSITE of what I thought...
