Kurtz: Did they say why, Willard, why they want to terminate my command?

Willard: I was sent on a classified mission, sir.

Kurtz: It's no longer classified, is it? Did they tell you?

Willard: They told me that you had gone totally insane, and that your methods were unsound.

Kurtz: Are my methods unsound?

Willard: I don't see any method at all, sir.

Kurtz: I expected someone like you. What did you expect? Are you an assassin?

Willard: I'm a soldier.

Kurtz: You're neither. You're an errand boy, sent by grocery clerks, to collect a bill.

I think Olive Anthony follows your work. His viral song Rich Men North of Richmond has the following line in it: "I wish politicians would look out for miners and not just minors on an island somewhere". When I first heard it I thought, damn!, Rudy is writing songs now!

I was singing 'Don't Worry Be Happy" until I read your post on the Tyler Cowen headlines! Rudy, you are harshing my buzz!

If you can't visualize a scene from the Panic note at the top, you really haven't lived - the uncertainty of the outcome is a real trigger.

Dig the Eliot. Read a bit of the Obama piece - nice to have on the radar. Thanks!
