How to Get Things Done
1. Get things started.
2. Work on things.
3. Finish things.
Voila!
#1 is my main tripping point. I like my reputation for finishing things. Sometimes, though, I get so paranoid that I might not be able to finish something that I don’t start. It’s pretty silly, really.

Because It’s Worked So Well in the Past
From today’s New York Times:
“The Bush administration proposed to spend $85 million to promote political change inside Iran by subsidizing dissident groups.”
Why does that sound so damn familiar? Oh, yeah, I remember now.
So…does Oliver North get to take the fall for this one too?

Because “love” can only be properly expressed (and the American economy buoyed) by material goods and shiny trinkets.

If You Count a Writer Among Your Friends…
…expect situations from your personal life to show up in print.
It’s inevitable.

If You Want a Riot…
…you will need to print your anti-Islamist cartoons now. In about, oh, 2 months, they won’t have any impact. In fact, you might have already missed your window.
Sooner or later, everyone reaches the point where they say, “Ah, the hell with what you think. You’re an idiot.” Once that happens, *poof* they’re a citizen of the modern world.
It’s hard to keep a heartfelt moral outrage going.
