Welcome to the Club

We are all space monkeys each of us standing on top of our own tall building... and we are all close to the edge of the rooftop. Don't ask me how I know this.
I know this because Tyler knows this.
No, I know this because Chuck Palahniuk wrote this.
That's right, ten+ years overdue, I finally got a copy of Fight Club (yes, the book) and I am gonna follow rule number one - never talk about fight club at least, in this case, until I finish the book (meaning until tomorrow).

later.

Obama in Europe: veni, vidi, vici

Obama is in Europe and he is delivering. I happened to turn on the TV when he was giving his speech at the end of the G20 summit in London and I thought the speech and the Q&A were superb. What a break from the approach of the previous administration when it comes to foreign policy and working with your allies. Plus, unlike the previous president, I am pretty sure Obama used complete sentences and they made sense. Haven’t followed much of the subsequent European tour and the NATO meetings, but from what I gather the President is getting a nice reception. This New York Times piece says that Obama connects with young Europeans. Well, Obama understands the issues. It is all too clear that the US and the EU need to cooperate on all kinds of issues starting with the economy and ending with terrorism and the Middle East. Mudslinging and blaming the others have always been counterproductive. It’s that simple.
