Ennui ≡ Menu Home Ennui Dave Schuler September 24, 2006 I’ve been having a hard time working up the energy to post. Part of it is that raising two energetic Samoyed puppies is absorbing what energy I have; another reason is that I don’t find a great deal of what’s been going on over the last week (or what’s been said about them) interesting enough to weigh in on. Osama bin Laden? He doesn’t matter. Neither does Hugo Chavez or Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. I do have one small thing to say about those two: they weren’t talking to us. They were talking to the leaders and citizens of the countries known as the Nonaligned Movement which, since it originally began as a group of countries presumably not aligned with either the United States or the Soviet Union, might be better considered now as the “Movement of Countries Aligned Against Us”. I’m sure that their words had great resonance within many of those countries. I’m also sure that Andorra and Sierra Leone would like veto-wielding seats on the United Nations Security Council as would the other countries in the General Assembly. They aren’t getting them. I guess that’s what comes of holding on to an alliance of sixty years ago. But I’ve written about that before. 0 comments… add one Leave a Comment Name * Email * Website Comment Cancel reply you MUST enable javascript to be able to comment Δ Decisions The deal on coercive interrogation Categories Categories Select Category Addition Afghanistan Africa agriculture America Anthropology Antiques Archaeology Art Astronomy Autobiography Avian flu Be careful what you wish for Blogging Books Brazil Britain Bunnies Business Business and Economics California Canada Carnival of the Dogs Carnival of the Liberated Carnival of the Recipes Carnival of the Vanities Central America Chicago China Computers and technology Connections Council selections COVID-19 Crime Cuba Darfur Day Book Did you ever notice?
