Now pay attention, 007

USB flash drive cuff links.  They're $195 a pair, but they do have 4 GB of memory, go well with evening dress, and are just the thing for smuggling the computer virus into Scaramanga's HQ.

Great for smuggling classified data out of the White House, too.

Of course, with the lot that's in charge there now, "smuggling" data out is sort of irrelevant. If you really, really hate America, or Israel, or just modern civilization in general, they'll be delighted to give you anything you want in the name of "multicultural sensitivity".

With a free complimentary IPod with all The One's speeches on it, into the bargain.

cheers (maybe)

Not sure that I agree, eon. The dirty [unmentionable] on Wikileaks, yes. He likes to set things on fire just to watch them burn. Husseinovich, I think, wants to do well as a president, but all his training (and his stupidity and his arrogance) makes sure that he cannot. Things are tough, so the man is throwing government programs at them as hard as he can (also kickbacks for his friends, Chicago-style). There are enemies, so he's appeasing for all he's worth. Because as far as his model of the world goes, these are the actions that will make the situations better.

Sergej;

You've basically confirmed my point. ;-)

The One sees only his dogma, not the potential train wreck. And his subordinates are no wiser.

cheers

Sumimasen, eon-san, but I must suggest a small change in viewpoint. I meant to point out a significant difference between H. Husseinovich and the likes of the unmentionable at Wikileaks, viz., I believe that the first sees himself as a part of civilized society and seeks its approval, while the second considers himself outside and above the rest of the world, and just enjoys making things break. That said, I think H.'s model of many aspects of the world to be seriously flawed, so yes, the effect will often be similar. But I don't think he'd blow up a bridge, for instance, if he had the chance. (Leaking damaging information about political opponents on the other hand...)
