Overheard at Dulles
At the table next to me at Max & Erma’s in Terminal B last night at Dulles, I heard this voicemail left by a guy who is apparently with a defense contractor:
“Jim, hi. Meeting went well today, we’re still on track for next week’s presentation to the President, Vice President and the Joint Chiefs. The Joint Chiefs will like what they see. The President won’t have any idea what he’s looking at, but he’ll like the pictures. It’s the Vice President we have to be worried about, he’ll be all over this.”
Think about how much better of we’d be if we’d been able to hear that voicemail 8 years ago.

Also, when you heard the line “it’s the vice-president we have to worry about”, did the phone play scary music?
