Baghdad Blog

A friend and former co-worker is in Baghdad helping the Iraqis write their new constitution (and hopefully keeping them from getting screwed by Bush while not starting a civil war). He's got a blog up - it's not frequently posted to but worth reading through if you have some time.

It's 130 degrees. I want a nice cool beverage. I'm specifically craving a tall, cool glass of tropicana orange juice with lots of pulp.

Instead, I'm holding Sac Sac, a product claiming to be made from Mandarin oranges - but unless Mandarain oranges nowadays taste like chalky Tang , I'm pretty sure that I ain't what I'm drinking.

It's purposefully devoid of political commentary - more of a slice-of-life kind of thing. He's a good writer, check it out.
