Thanks to P.J. Crowley in today’s Daily Press Briefing, we get to see a little preview of Mme. Secretary’s schedule for tomorrow! Here is what he outlined.
Philip J. CrowleyAssistant Secretary
Daily Press BriefingWashington, DCOctober 29, 2010Tomorrow, she will have a breakfast meeting with counterparts from the Lower Mekong Initiative Countries of Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia; discuss regional challenges in health, education, and the environment. She’ll have a couple of bilaterals as well, I believe, including the president of Korea, as well as her counterpart, Foreign Minister Lavrov. I’m going to have full clarity on her schedule tomorrow.And then she will, having attended the dinner of the East Asia Summit this evening, she’ll also represent President Obama tomorrow as a guest of the chair and the first-ever participation in the East Asia Summit. And comprehensive discussions will also follow with her Vietnamese counterpart, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Khiem. And there, we expect to get into expanded discussion and that will include the human rights situation in Vietnam.
Busy, busy, busy as a pretty little bee!

Hi, Stiil4Hill! Thought I’d share this post by David Rothkopf, that discusses current attempts to ban wolf whistle in NYC and the administration’s revelation that the entire intelligence community has an annual budget of US$ 80-B. The money quotes:
“What next indeed. In a world without wolf whistles on New York City streets, and a world where someone shines light on some of the unnecessarily dark corners of the U.S. government, I suppose the next thing you are going to tell me is that voters are going to learn their lessons and finally do what they should have done in the United States two years ago — electing as president a tough, intelligent, experienced 63-year-old woman — who has a political record of real accomplishment , balancing progressive ideals and fiscal responsibility — to lead a country that is gaining an ever more important global role and enjoying unprecedented economic expansion.
“You are? Oh, I see, but the country isn’t the United States — it’s Brazil. Combined with the rest of these unexpected developments — kidding aside — there are certainly signs of progress: overdue developments that suggest in some areas it may not actually require audacity to remain hopeful.”

Thanks for the article. Common sense and reality usually prevail with time. Guiliani imposed “non-crossing crosswalks” and ordered us all to smile at each other. We kept scowling defiantly – with a respite for awhile after 9/11.
As long as there is construction in NYC there will be whistles. It’s a fair exchange.
As for tough, experienced 63 year-old presidential contenders, we’ll see what our girl chooses to do. I want her to run.

Not every picture works. I knew one of these might. Wanted something brighter (and to take focus off the Middle east).
