From Our Man in Kosovo:
Rob Gulick responds to the Iowa Caucus musings of Adam Feiges:
“Since Adam brought it up... If Obama becomes our next President, I'm in with several UN coeds who have until now rebuffed my advances with the simple question, "Are you American?"
I live in Pristina, Kosovo, by the way, where 90% of the native population has names like Hussein. Ironically, they'd all vote for Hillary if they had the chance. Pristina's main drag here is named "Bill Clinton Boulevard," after all, and many regard Albright as their queen. But, alas, don't let anyone tell you that Bill and Hillary (or Albright and Holbrooke) "fixed" the Balkans. Just Google 'Kosovo' news. To be fair, it's an incredibly complicated situation. Thousands of shades of gray, like the rest of the world. Which is precisely why I'd say it's high time for someone like Obama.”
And our man who’s “been there”, Drew Schiff, comments on Adam’s view of the Iowa Caucus system: “Pls tell adam that this is a spectacular summary of how this process, which is soooo different from all other processes, works.”
And this latest from Kosovo (how come the Americans in the States don’t care as much?)
See numbered photos below the following captions:
Obama's fan base in South Carolina. He really knows how to work up a crowd.
#1 Obama says, "Let's talk about peanut butter." (She says, "OK, mister. NOW you got my attention.")
#2 Obama: "I promise to support legislation mandating more peanut butter for school lunches. How about that?" (Seven-year-old future voter: "Aw-right. I'm down with that.")
#3 "AND... this law will say that all peanut butter has to be CRUNCHY!"
("And two for that!")
#4: Then all hell breaks loose when he adds, "Not only peanut butter, my friends, but also...[wait for it, OB...] marshmallow FLUFF!!" *
"OH... MY... GOD!!" she screams, as friend to her right faints.
"Are you ready for change, America?! STAND UP!! Stand up!!"
O-BA-MA!! O-BA-MA!! O-BA-MA!! O-BA-MA!!

Peter PauleyPeter Pauley (1983) recently accepted a position at Capital Group Companies located in New York, NY as senior vice president. "Back to commuting to NYC. Feel free to drop by for a visit. Excellent view of Rock Center." (Submitted on Dec 3 2007.)
Congrats Jeff Peters!
As seen in the Boston Globe, February 5, 2008, (By Chris Reidy, Globe staff)
Columbia Management announced today that it has named Jeffrey F. Peters head of institutional distribution. The firm is the Boston-based asset management unit of Bank of America Corp. of North Carolina, a financial-services company. Columbia Management, which disclosed a number of personnel changes today, said that Peters will report to firm president Michael A. Jones.
Peters, who most recently was with Putnam Investments, will oversee Columbia Management's institutional sales, client service, consultant relations, and international functions, the firm said.
