Notes from Howard's Sabbatical from Working. The name comes from a 1998 lunch conversation. Someone asked if everything man knew was on the web. I answered "no" and off the top of my head said "Fidel Castro's favorite color". About every 6-12 months I've searched for this. It doesn't show up in the first 50 Google results (this blog is finally first for that search), AskJeeves says it's: red.
it wasn't broken, but it could have been, and it is now, so I think we should just keep doing the exact same thing we've been doing until it suddenly starts working.
And McCain says no, we changed strategies and now it's working. Idiot. Wesley Clark on the Daily Show this week nailed. Anbar is working because we left and the tribes there realized they had to do something because the US wasn't there to take care of things. Our presence is only delaying resolution.
