Before I start with my customary unrelated, yet somehow logical, opening anecdote, I’d like to throw you for a loop and instead, give you the following quote, which shall hopefully underscore the rest of the schlock that typically makes up 90 percent of what I write:
Any and all posts reflecting on the Foreign Service and the Department of State are expressly my own and do not necessarily reflect the official views of the Department and/or the federal government. Hopefully I won't say anything too stupid.
