Awww…that’s sweet of you, Nancy. But I found my backup! Which is actually the better tablet.

The busted one was a Graphire Uncle B bought me for Christmas so I could see if I liked it. It’s taken a hell of a pounding (it’s been back and forth across the Atlantic in my luggage many’s the time). The other one is an Intuous they bought me for work and kindly let me take when I went. I’ve hesitated to bring it out because I didn’t want to beat IT to shit, too.

These days, I sit on the couch with the tablet perched on the arm, so it experiences a certain amount of…drunken violence.

Wheeze…
I feel for ya. If my Wacom went awry, I’d be so totally verklempt! My laptop is a complete boat anchor without it. All my arty stuff, games, … even spreadsheets would cause me great emotional harm with a non-functioning tablet. If you need assistance with replacement parts, I’d be pleased to assist.

Well, in some fairness, I can’t really expect the General in charge of the Afghan war to come to Washington all the time to meet with the President. (Or the President to go to a war-zone real often.)

I fault the President for ignoring the Afghan war, not for not meeting General McChrystal in person often enough.

Wheras, a fundraiser? It’s both trivial for the President to attend, and a place to make a speech.

So, meh.

I’m pretty sure one of those tick marks was just a phone call rather than an actual meeting, if I recall General McCrystal’s ’60 Minutes’ interview correctly.

I could be wrong.

The next one should be how many times he belittled/impugned allies versus the number of times he praised dictators/axis of evil. There would be more slashes on that page than in a Halloween Horror Flick.

McCnrystal and Afghanistan are a distraction from the important issues. Like Fox News picking on him, and date night, and fundraisers.
