The Week That Was

Questions on my mind this week:

1. If I go to Sydney for the weekend, does that enhance my foreign policy experience?

2. Is it really possible to read all the magazines in world, as Sarah Palin claims to have done? Even a speed-reader would struggle, I think.

3. Is buying a url similar to that of a successful blog (be it a .net version or just a typo of the same url) effectively drinking the blogger’s milkshake?

4. Does visiting a country for a couple of days really mean you have ’seen’ that country?

5.  Can I really be expected to pick up on your cryptic references to ’60s TV shows?

6. Is my $700B bailout in the post?

7. Is googling oneself really a narcissistic waste of time, or a useful exercise in monitoring one’s personal branding?

8.  Speaking of personal branding, are there any Gen-Yers out there who don’t have a tattoo?

9. If Metallica needed an on-call therapist for two years, what hope is there for the rest of us?

10. Why didn’t I win last night’s $20m lottery draw? I bought a ticket and everything.

    Shona,

    I think foreign policy experience in the United States is if you can see a foreign country from your house, see Sarah Palin, now what that is in New Zealand is a whole different story. You see we like to keep our expectations low, see George Bush. I mean if you look at how to keep happy you just keep your expectations low and when you actually get results then you are pleasantly surprised and happy.

    Is the United STates going into a depression? Perhaps. Perhaps not. It is all about the expectations of the consumers which has been lowered over the years.

    Sarah Palin is cute and she can wink and say betcha on stage. Do these look like things Dick Cheney or Al Gore or Joe Biden can do? If not, then you betcha she’d make a great VP.
