The Friday Edition

So, I am going to start a new thing here at Dixieland. Friday's will be a omni-post of things that
have crossed my mind for the the last week. It's kind of something kick off the weekend with.

And I know what you are saying, "Bela, it's Thursday, mate. Have a lil something extra in your cuppa tea this morning, yeah?"

No, I'm not drunk. However, I do not have class on Friday, so once I get out of military history on Thursday's, my weekend begins. I suppose I could change this to The Thursday Edition but that would require me to move my mouse up to the title bar and delete Friday and write in Thursday.

-I have seen some recent pictures on facebook, myspace, and another message board that I post to that have solidified my belief that you should have to have a license to operate a digital camera recreationally.

The simple fact that you went out and bought one does not come with the right to subject your friends, or personal associates with pictures of you taken at rather inopertune times.

-After sitting through my military history lecture today, I have came up with the perfect anology to describe the oft times heated relationship between the different intelligence agencies.

The inteilligence community, or IC as we gov. acronymn soup people like to call it, is like the SEC. No, no. Not the security and exchange comission but the south eastern conference in college football.

Anyone who has ever went to an SEC school will understand me when I say that the conference is back to back rivalry games. You hate any other team that isn't your own. That's pretty much how the IC is and why we expereince intelligence failures on such a broad scale.
