| My Excellent Boss' Head and the Rest of Brew City Last Night |
After a week of
political gamesmanship I was more than ready for the arrival of the First
Friday of the Week which was appropriately marked with default celebrations first
at Brew City and then Zorbas. My
excellent boss declared an early end of the day spent totally immersed in the
scheduling software now that the politicos had finally made decisions. I now have less than a week to get everything
ready for delivery to the union. The
beer was welcomed properly last night as was the company of my favorite Panamanian. We were just about finished with dinner when
a group of Panamanian Mafia from Worcester walked in which extended the
frivolity. Last night was just what I
needed after the week of emotive spinelessness.

Although it’s
barely mentioned in the myopic US media (who are too focused on whatever the
Kardashians’ latest setback to western civilization is) there was a historic and
seismic shift in power in the Indian sub-continent. The world’s largest democracy overwhelmingly
voted out the Indian National Congress Party (Ghandi’s old party) and voted in
a highly nationalistic government led by Narendra Modi.

Modi was
actually denied a visa into the US a few years back because of alleged ties to
a massacre of Muslims so I’m sure he feels all warm and fuzzy about us. This bears watching because there are two
very Muslim countries on either side of India, one of which is nuclear armed. It’s also illustrative of the US media when
an event with vast strategic consequences affecting more than a billion fellow
humans is barely mentioned. Someone trying to crawl up an American actress’
dress at Cannes or a hero cat attacking a dog is deemed more newsworthy
(alright the cat was pretty cool).
