Hoogstraten's sentencing has been put back three weeks.
In other news, thanks to
oakdryad for pointing me at this article about a report written in 2000 about American foreign policy. A fascinating read, and not very long.
The report itself seems to be available here as an 850K pdf. I haven't read it yet. If you hear reports that my flatmates have had to scrape me off the ceiling, then you know what's happened.
It's been a reasonable day, otherwise.

Gah! It's a bad time to be a leftist in the States.

Americans are infamous for staring at their bellybuttons and not thinking about the rest of the world, but, Christ, I find myself hoping that Dubya suddenly discovers the fascination of lint. It'll keep him from thinking about anything else.
