Entrepreneurial Opportunity?
Well, I heard today that Hezbollah is deploying throughout South Lebanon, handing out cash to those whose homes have been destroyed and promising food and housing for up to a year. I thought this sounded familiar...and then I remembered the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

If Hezbollah executes its humanitarian mission well, the Administration could do worse than to disband FEMA and outsource disaster relief to Hezbollah. As a competitor with Halliburton at the federal trough, how long could Hezbollah remain a credible revolutionary agent?

In The Air Tonight
OK, can someone tell me what's up with all the Karen Kozlowski searches the last few days? Was there some big news in the Tyco case that I might have missed?

I'm flying back to Seattle tonight, just as Snakes On A Plane premiers. I think I'll be awfully conscious of what that guy with the shifty eyes in the seat behind me slides under my seat. I flew the Friday after 9/11, and I 'm not sure if I'm less concerned about a copy-cat occurrence tonight than I was then.

I'm sure a TSA employee might have some fun by announcing, "Please remove all laptops, video cameras and snakes from your carry-on and place them in a separate tray to be scanned." Probably also get fired.

You'd better not be hiding any reptiles up there!
