Read your mail

If you happen to get some mail from the manufacturer of your automobile, I strongly advise you to read it. I got some mail a month or so ago from Saab and ignored it. Oops - it was about a recall on my model. And the other morning, the part in question (the starter) went kaput. I've arranged for it to be fixed Monday morning.

Oh yeah!!!

Can't wait for this one!

Mr. Beckham Comes to DC

Folks, this is what a sold out RFK stadium looks like for a proper football match. Yes, most of the people came to see #23, but a good time was had by all as your DC United won 1-0. A full write up tomorrow.

Why are steroids worse for the game than the exclusion of black players until 1947? Should Babe Ruth's records also be removed since he never had to hit against the best black pitchers of his time?

Obama's Foreign Policy Speech

Obama just gave a speech outlining his foreign policy vision. Very impressive, here's an excerpt:

Just because the President misrepresents our enemies does not mean we do not have them. The terrorists are at war with us. The threat is from violent extremists who are a small minority of the world's 1.3 billion Muslims, but the threat is real. They distort Islam. They kill man, woman and child; Christian and Hindu, Jew and Muslim. They seek to create a repressive caliphate. To defeat this enemy, we must understand who we are fighting against, and what we are fighting for...

The President would have us believe that every bomb in Baghdad is part of al Qaeda's war against us, not an Iraqi civil war. He elevates al Qaeda in Iraq – which didn't exist before our invasion – and overlooks the people who hit us on 9/11, who are training new recruits in Pakistan. He lumps together groups with very different goals: al Qaeda and Iran, Shiite militias and Sunni insurgents. He confuses our mission...

By refusing to end the war in Iraq, President Bush is giving the terrorists what they really want, and what the Congress voted to give them in 2002: a U.S. occupation of undetermined length, at undetermined cost, with undetermined consequences.

When I am President, we will wage the war that has to be won, with a comprehensive strategy with five elements: getting out of Iraq and on to the right battlefield in Afghanistan and Pakistan; developing the capabilities and partnerships we need to take out the terrorists and the world's most deadly weapons; engaging the world to dry up support for terror and extremism; restoring our values; and securing a more resilient homeland.
