A few notes of things of interest.
Firstly I am uploading ot my flickr account all my Friday Olive Tree Blogging photos
Secondly in re: US Ports, homeland security etc. There is a saying along the lines of "every complicated problem has a simple to understand but wrong solution" I put it to my readers that politicians almost invariably go for the simple but wrong solution. Concentrating on who gets the dividends from managing 6 US ports (especially when many (all?) other ports are also managed by companies owned by foreign entities is a classic example. As is almost everything else done by the DHS including the way that (as Cringely writes this week) funding for critical IT infrastructure seems to get lost in the rush to waste money on everything else that provides for more nepotism and/or better photo ops.
Thirdly this first link will make you laugh out loud: Student Doctor Network Forums - Things I Learn From My Patients (thanks to the Englisman's Castle) and this one may provide a certain amount of ahh titilation...
Fourthly who knew that wouldbe punks grew up to work in the US Foreign Service and the go in to law? and that they would care so much about fast food
