I am posting these today, when they were finally published by the Department of State, in order not to break my New Year's resolution of December 31, 2009 to post every public schedule the State Department releases. If schedules of ensuing days happen to appear I will add them here.
It is infinitely frustrating trying to promote the work of the Secretary of State when her own department is remiss in posting public information. There is nothing productive or constructive accomplished by posting these this late. In fact, the only thing it accomplishes for me, personally, is make me wish it really were so easy to go back in time and re-do the RBC decision of 05-31-08 and the bogus roll call vote in Denver.
Seriously, it gives me a migraine.
