Secretary of State? Yes, please!

Dear Diary,

I've am so going to have this Secretary of State thing DOWN! I don't know what Colin was always complaining about (and I'm still just a nominee!!!). Today I announced my six "Outposts of Tyranny" -- Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Zimbabwe, Burma and Belarus. (Belarus is good, right? I totally just made that one up to make my outposts an even half dozen). I mean, six nations is so much bigger and better than three. It's like an Asterisk of Evil instead of an Axis!!!! (oooh! I am soooo gooood!)

So okay, since I made the mistake somewhere along the line of saying that as Secretary of State, I wanted to 'make a fresh start in US diplomacy' (mostly because Colin messed everything up, BTW), I got really nervous when a reporter asked me how I was going to do that. But I was really quick on my feet and said something like, "The time for diplomacy is now" and "Our interaction with the rest of the world must be a conversation, not a monologue."

SO GOOD, RIGHT!?!??!?! I wonder when it will be safe to get out that big stick?
