. Hillary Clinton
There have been announcements in German TV that she's going to agree,
next week, to a nomination as Secretary of State.
==========
apparently she has officially agreed.
The former United Nations chief Kofi Annan and a former U.S. president Jimmy
Carter have canceled a planned humanitarian visit to Zimbabwe after being
denied entry into the country by President Robert Mugabe's government just
today
She will have her work cut out for her
The treasury one will be announced on Monday, Geitner
The market rallied briefly at the end of the day on Friday at the
announcement of this choice. This is a vote of confidence for the NY
Federal Reserve chief who they already know and he knows their Wall Street

. German KORSO
[...]
Ok thanks, I started reading, saw the angels.
The umbrella association KORSO (Koordinierungsrat säkularer
Organisationen) (coordination council of secular organizations) was
founded in Berlin on November 18, 2008, wherein the GBS foundation
(Giordano Bruno Stiftung) partakes among 10 member organizations.
This is important because, for the first time, German people who do
not pertain (approx. 1/3) to any religious denomination (mainly
Catholics or Lutheran Protestants) will now be officially represented
in all constitutional and legal matters.
=======
It had never occurred to me that they had not previously been
as noted it is a good thing which pleased me
I'm watching Cpsm Book Tv, Marc Aronson author of "Race" is speaking to a
high school class in Brooklyn about the misperceptions about classing and
superiority and representation in the government. The discussion is
interesting to the context of Korso.
Last night, I spent the evening with a friend who had come to town for the
same professional event I attended earlier this week. She was visiting from
Greensboro, with her 14 year old son. We had a lovely evening. at this pub
here's an unfortunately small picture of the interior
and the bar area
In the middle of this very cold week, I figured I would reminisce about
Florida to stay warm
Disney has an interesting feature The Enchanted Tiki Room
When you first come in, you see a sign that announces that it's "Under New
Management". Which often happens to failed establishments. All the banks
now need to set out such signs in their vestibules now that the government
has taken over.
At the Disney exhibit, the fact that the Tiki Room Nightclub is under new
managements is brought to your mind when two birds, William and Morris,
dicuss it at length
(Under_New_Management)
William and Morris is the name of a prominent agency that represents people
in the entertainment business, and predominantly actors.
Last year, USAs entertainment business was set back about a year by the
wrtiers' strike. Now, the actors are threatening a strike as well.
The birds are animatronic. Large. The voices are of course recorded.
The birds are voiced by Phil Hartman and Don Rickles.
Phil Hartman has long since died. Don Rickles, a comic who I don't find
amusing, won an Emmy this year
.
The indoors contains more animatronics including a Gilbert Gottfried
bird and an Jerry Orbach bird
Jerry Orbach, a Broadway actor, now deceased, spent his last years on TV's
famous Law and Order, as a police officer solving crimes for the NY police
depart. Performing alongside this year's republican presidential candidate
Fred Thompson, who is returning to the show now that he has stopped running
for that office. Some have said he returned, even though he wanted to run
for chair of the republican national committtee, because the acting money is
more lucrative

Most of the animatronics were suspended from the ceiling
The other actor, the somewhat abrasively voiced Gilbert Gottfried, makes me
laugh for some reason I cannot identify.
My host while in Florida told me that on one of his training trips, he met
Gilbert
Gottfried on an elevator
He confirms the voice is genuine but not quite as shrill although the
squinty eye thing is completely real
From today's NY Times, article "Irony is Dead"
<<Still, there is little doubt that these are challenging times for the
professionally arch. Gilbert Gottfried, widely credited with being the first
standup comic to tell a 9/11 joke (he complained 18 days after the attacks
that he couldn't get a direct flight to California because "they said they
have to stop at the Empire State Building first"), noted that his gun-shy
colleagues, afraid of spoiling the love fest or being accused of racism,
"continue to do Sarah Palin insults, and that really struck me as odd."
THE ONION, whose less-than-half-joking postelection headline read something
like "Nation Finally Lousy Enough to Make Social Progress," seems to be
having trouble finding its bearings, too. Even a gentle, somewhat toothless
Nov. 11 article, "International Con Man Barack Obama Leaves U.S. With $85
Million in Campaign Fund-Raising," drew criticism on discussion boards for
feeding into stereotypes about blacks, said The Onion's editor, Joe
Randazzo.
"After eight years of the Bush administration, where irony was almost a
measure of desperation - maybe now that people have seen something happen
they never thought possible, their sarcasm processors have kind of gone into
shock," he said. >>
The Tiki Room is a great bit of esapism from the cold weather and from the
social problems dealing with representation in a government.

"I am a police. That may sound like an unusual statement -- or an unusual
construction. But it's a parlance we have. Among ourselves, we would never
say I am a policeman or I am a policewoman or I am a police officer. We
would just say I am a police. I am a police. I am a police and my name is
Detective Mike Hoolihan. And I am a woman, also." --Night Train, Martin Amis
