So

So, what's it gonna' be...

I waited patiently, stubby pencil in hand.

'...chicken or fish? '

She was planning a dinner party, the magnificent woman-

'Um...um...why not both? Oh, and we need some candles...put those down.'

'ok...both, ' I wrote, 'chicken and fish. Who are these people you're inviting?

'Just a bunch of diplomats. Oh, and flowers, but I'll get those.'

Assange Has Courageously Exposed...?

Will South American governments defend freedom of speech?
Or will a man be Obama witch hunted for exposing diplomatic

of Nazi Germany Iran North Korea but no threat to withdraw;
diplomatic status is an insane UK 'hostile and intolerable act'?
