Books Read, Reading, Past Two Weeks
Requiem - Graham Joyce
A Pound of Flesh - Art Linson
Pattern Recognition - William Gibson
The Path to Power - The Years of Lyndon Johnson - Robert Caro
Oh, by the way. I just heard on Air America Radio - that new Commie station that most of the people in Cobble Hill are probably having beamed directly into their lefty cyborg heads - (I'm waiting for my direct link up as well) - that James Baker has an office in the White House. He's got the office for his use as he is helping to "restructure Iraq's debt." (Which probably means squeezing every last cent out of anyone he can find who happens to be in Iraq).
But that's not the interesting part, everybody knows there're lots of shady characters running wild over there, and Baker has proven himself to be an able business person in the past, and a Bush family confidante. The interesting part is that Baker is at the same time employed by the Saudi Royal Family to defend them against the civil lawsuit filed by the 9/11 victims families for sponsoring terrorism.
Sure makes Craig Unger's book ring loud and long, like a huge bell - a bell with a tone so resonant that it makes you want to barf up newsprint and magnetic tape.

This is the first post. A test. A flare from the Cobble Hill/Boerum Hill nexus. Where the G and F intertwine like DNA. GeoxyFibo. The bastard children of Williamsburg and the Upper East Side. Or the Upper West Side and the Lower East Side. Or Park Slope and Brooklyn Heights, with a little extra from Wall Street.
But this is the first.
