Hey D-Ringers,
Sorry I’ve been gone for a while. It has been busy at work. And I had a birthday. And my little brother from my fraternity got married. Good times.
Anyhow, in the world of “pitches that made me go ‘hrmmm,’” I give you the latest installment from LT Cragg at OSD(PA):

Who wants to talk to the guy who flew the first C130 relief flight into Burma?

I’ve already written about the New York Times non-story expose on the efforts of the Pentagon to provide briefings to retired generals who serve as military analysts for television media about ongoing action in Iraq and Afghanistan. You know, things they might have interest in knowing about.

This post doesn’t really relate to new media. And it only has casual reference to the military (albeit the Middle Ages).

Following in the footsteps of the Department of Homeland Security, the State Department recently launched a blog called DipNote.
It is actually the best government blog I have seen to date.
