"The Man Show"::"Drunken Pilots"

Not sure if I will ever finish and publish my report, currently in draft, on this topic.

I've got several others, among hundreds of others I've started and then archived, that I have active right now as draft reports on various topics that I discover in the news during the day at this stupid desk.

Too compelling to not say anything though. So here's a hint of a report I may or may not ever publish here.

How did Mina Chang get a State Department job in the first place?

Chang, who resigned after NBC News revealed holes in her résumé, had ties to two State Department officials and a staffer for Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas.

Looking credible

Without any university degrees or work in the policy world, Chang sought out seminars and organizations that would allow her to associate herself with prestigious institutions and convey an aura of credibility and expertise. Some required paying a steep fee. She attended Harvard Business School's Advanced Management Program, which "has no formal education requirements" and charges applicants $82,000 for a seven-week course.

The program permits people who have finished the program to call themselves alumni, and creates an opportunity for them to tap into the Harvard alumni network. When Chang was mentioned as a possible candidate for ambassador to the Philippines in local media in Manila, newspapers wrote incorrectly that she was a "Harvard graduate." The U.S. embassy in the Philippines at the time dismissed the rumor as inaccurate.

A fake Time magazine cover with her face on it added credibility to her bio for at least some people who found it online. One House staffer who met her in Washington found the Time cover when Googling Chang's name and assumed it was real, "That made me think she was legit," the former staffer said. The cover is "not authentic," said a spokesperson for the magazine.

Chang has denied having any role in creating the magazine cover and her spokesperson said an "enthusiastic fan" created the picture and circulated it online.

Gates: Smile Would Have Helped, But He Told Truth

By James V. Grimaldi

Seattle Times Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON - Bill Gates said he wished he'd smiled more during his videotaped deposition taken before the Microsoft antitrust trial started

"I answered truthfully every single question that was put forth," Gates said. "You have to understand that Mr. Boies made it clear in the negotiations leading up to the case that he is really out to destroy Microsoft. He is really out to make all the good work we've done - and make us look very bad.
