Memoir Wars

Something that came to mind today….

Based on mutliple observations, Washington figures tend to pull no punches when it comes to them writing their autobiographies/memoirs, the most recent example being George Tenet

In this case, as in many others, the attacked/accused are currently serving officials. Is it fair to pass judgment then on these people before they get to pull a few punches of their own–in their memoirs?

NYT: Manhattan: Councilman Seeks Ban on Unwanted Menus

A Brooklyn councilman has proposed legislation that would make it illegal to distribute menus, fliers and other circulars to homes and apartment buildings that display a sign indicating promotional material is unwanted

Therein lies part of the problem–most of the deliverymen don’t speak enough (if any) English, so how would they understand the signs?

On a tangent, from the NY Press: The dish on delivery guys
