It was hoped that our Brotherly Leader would be more available to share his perspective on all things personal and worldly, but he's so busy it's hard to get him on the phone. Even then, all he wants to do is practice his English and test the staff on their knowledge of the Quiran and Sharia law. Plus, it has been difficult finding Farsi interpreters with a sense of humor. He's weary of the sectarian strife in Iraq and the ongoing shenanigans of the Saudis, not to mention the Syrians. He offers his apologies but only's interested in translate Chris Rock's material into Farsi. That guy, what a sense of humor! He's promised to be more available when he's done with Bigger and Blacker. The Colonel has asked for help with the following quotations:
"Who's judging American Idol? Paula Abdul? Paula Abdul judging a singing contest is like Christopher Reeve judging a dance contest!
and
"Yeah, I love being famous. It's almost like being white, y'know?"
Anyway, the inimitable Miss Vito brings to the table her vast knowledge of small-block Chevy's and Szechuan Chinese food. Talk about prerequisites. And she offers the perspective of generations of Puerto Rican Americans living in the Big Apple. Her beauty and experience will offer whatever salve sensitive souls require. So, please, keep those cards and letters coming.
Wait! This just in! Hot off the presses of the Wall Street Journal, Mr. Fouad Ajami, professor at Hopkins writes:
"Big as Reagan's mandate was, in two elections, the man was never bigger than his country. There was never narcissism or a bloated sense of personal destiny in him. He gloried in the country, and drew sustenance from its heroic deeds and its capacity for recovery. No political class rode with him to power anxious to lay its hands on the nation's treasure, eager to supplant the forces of the market with its own economic preferences."
There it is.
