Do these headphones make me look silly?

Dear Diary,

I'm in Manama, Bahrain talking w/ peeps about a controversial U.S.-backed plan for democratic reform in the Middle East.

I am soooo sick of political repression in Syria, damn! Their humans rights record sucks, too. Ya'll gonna get yer shit isolated, if you don't watch out. I swear to God, I am going to fix this region before 2008.

Tee hee. I wonder why we call this the "Forum for the Future" conference? These headphones look like they're from 1995!

Doesn't Bahraini Information Minister Mohammed Abdull Ghafar's head scarf look really silly? Sillier than my headphones, anyway....
