Currently, I am an observer of a labor contract dispute. I keep a journal and the January 17th, 2008 entry was "contract...six meetings so far." Thirteen months later, they are still negotiating, nothing has been accomplished and it is a complete disaster. Woody Allen once wrote a humor piece about a chess game by mail. It was called The Gossage-Vardebedian Papers and can be easily accessed through Google. Here is a sample of in the ongoing dialogue of Allen's piece... Vardebedian: I have just finished perusing your latest note, the one containing a bizarre forty-sixth move dealing with the removal of my queen from a square from which it has not rested for eleven days. Through patient calculation, I think I have hit upon the cause of your confusion and misunderstanding of the existing facts. That your rook rests on the king's fourth square is an impossibility commensurate with two like snowflakes; if you will refer back to the ninth move of the game, you will see clearly that your rook has long been captured. Indeed, it was that same daring sacrificial combination that ripped your center and costs you both your rooks."
What are they doing on the board now?" President Obama mentioned, and was given a favorable reply by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad about "talks" between the two nations. Here is a sample of what we might see in the future: "Dear President Obama. Your request that we stop supplying insurgents in Iraq with arms is confusing since you, "The Great Satan" have propped up the real "insurgents" for many years now. We have indeed sent much supplies to the great patriots of Iraq, but it has all been baby bottles, diapers, candy for the children and medicine for the wounds you have inflicted upon them. As for our "supposed" nuclear arms program, we desire nuclear energy solely to be able to provide light and heat for the poor criminals in our prisons! My apologies that it took a month to get back to you on your last request, I was busy volunteering for al Qaeda's "Toys for Tots" program. I do have good news for you, since it is now 2010, we have all the "electrictiy" that we need, and will gladly shut down our nuclear reactor, that is until more "electricity" may be needed. This dialogue has been very good! Sincerely....." There is no chance that Ahmadinejad would enter into serious talks. Any talks would be a "delay tactic" and if they did agree to "help" us in either Afghanistan or Iraq, we should look intently at what we give up in the deal, and it would probably effect Israel's defense.
