So, I'm listening to Live365 and, because I'm a lowly, poor person and can't afford to pay for the ad-free version, I get commercials. Anyway, they just had an ad for the CIA. No, really. The CIA. Central Intelligence Agency. Apparently some of the requirements for the job are being patriotic and a US citizen. Whew! Glad they've got some standards. Interested in becoming a Clandestine Service Officer? Check out the official website - cia.gov. Just be ready for a career of "adventure and ambiguity." I swear I am so not making this up!

Wow. I think I liked living in my Chuck-inspired fantasy world better than this. The idea that the CIA was recruiting kids at Stanford? I'm okay with that. The fact that they're going after any schlub listening to "Permanent Waves" - soundtracks, classical, and new age? Is very, very scary. Amusing, but scary.
