• Treaty Transmittals: Extradition and Mutual Legal Assistance with
  Bulgaria and Romania

  
  

  by Jacob Katz Cogan

  
  

  On Tuesday, the President
  transmitted to the Senate, for its advice and consent to ratification, the
  Extradition Treaty between the Government of the United States of America and
  the Government of the Republic of Bulgaria and the Agreement on Certain Aspects
  of Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters between the Government of the
  United States of America and the Government of the Republic of Bulgaria, and the
  Extradition Treaty between the United States of America and Romania and the
  Protocol to the Treaty between the United States of America and Romania on
  Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters. The transmittal package for the
  Bulgaria agreements (Treaty Doc. 110-12) is here; the transmittal package for the Romania agreements
  (Treaty Doc. 110-11) is here. The Bulgaria agreements were signed
  on September 19, 2007; the Romania agreements were signed on September 10, 2007. Both extradition treaties would
  replace the outdated ones (from the 1920s and supplemented in the 1930s)
  currently in use. The mutual legal assistance agreement would be the first with
  Bulgaria. All these agreements fulfill the requirements for bilateral
  instruments between the United States and each European Union Member State
  contained in the Extradition and Mutual Legal Assistance Agreements between the
  United States and the EU (Treaty Docs. 109-13 and 109-14), which have been pending before the Senate since
  September 2006. With the conclusion of these two sets of implementing
  agreements, the United States has completed a long and intensive series of
  negotiations with the twenty-seven EU Members States; the Senate can now proceed
  not only to a vote on the agreements transmitted this week (and related
  bilateral agreements transmitted previously) but also to a vote on the two
  overarching U.S.-EU agreements.

• A little boy goes to his dad and asks, “What is politics?”

  Dad says, “Well son, let me try to explain it this way: I’m the breadwinner of the family, so let’s call me Capitalism. Your mom, she’s the administrator of the money, so we’ll call her the Government. We’re here to take care of your needs, so we’ll call you the People. The nanny, we’ll consider her the Working Class. And your baby brother, we’ll call him the Future. Now, think about that and see if that makes sense.” So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what dad had said.

  Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him. He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper. So the little boy goes to his parents’ room and finds his mother sound asleep. Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny’s room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed. The next morning, the little boy says to his father, “Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now.” The father says, “Good son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about.”

  The little boy replies, “Well, while Capitalism is screwing the Working Class, the Government is sound asleep, the People are being ignored and the Future is in deep shit.”

• Little Johnny attended a horse auction with his father. He watched as his father moved from horse to horse, running his hands up and down the horse’s legs and rump, and chest. After a few minutes, Johnny asked, “Dad, why are you doing that?” His father replied, “Because when I’m buying horses, I have to make sure that they are healthy and in good shape before I buy. Johnny, looking worried, said, “Dad, I think the UPS guy wants to buy Mom.”

• When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ballpoint pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat the problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion to develop a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, underwater, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to 300°C.

  The Russians used a pencil.
