Just in case you didn't get to see today's NYTimes, or didn't make it to the editorial pages, you missed a Really Great article by Gail Collins who takes Twitter's interesting style and combines it with what we might imagine to be General McChrystal's voice:
DAY 2
Stuck going to dinner w/ some damned French minister. Gang riding me big. Bluto says they will make me eat snails. Hell of a funny guy, Bluto.Restaurant — ultra-Gucci. No Bud Light Lime. Damn. Wish I was on foot patrol in Kandahar. :(
Minister yammering diplomatic bull. I’d rather have my ass kicked by a roomful of people. As if they could. LOL
Still talking. Better at this diplomatic stuff than I used to be. Learned a lot in last few years. Like, don’t mention “mission failure.”
Whoops. Mentioned “mission failure.” Don’t think the minister noticed.
Steak comes covered in some goop. Miss my gruel.
Dinner’s over. Ran 12 miles. [more]
