Na Na Na, Hey Hey Now
July 15, 2004
One of Seattle's leading conservative intellectuals on foreign policy, James J. Na, has just started his very own blog, Guns and Butter. James is not only a heckuva swell guy who knows good Merlot from bad, but his dogs are very well-behaved. He's a Senior Fellow in Foreign Policy for Discovery Institute in Seattle. Na came to the U.S. from South Korea, and decided to stay. His background includes degrees from Brown University and Graduate School of Public and International Affairs at the University of Pittsburgh. He has also worked in several high-level positions in the defense industry. Na is an incisive, refreshingly uninhibited and deeply informed observer and analyst of current events and history. He says his blog will cover "news from around the world, international relations, national security and military affairs, politics and economics." His writings have appeared in the Asian Wall Street Journal, Seattle Times, Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Defense News and Naval Institute's Proceedings. Here's a link to an excellent piece Na penned for Rosenblog titled, "U.S. Deaths in Iraq: A Historical Perspective." Welcome to the blogosphere. You Go, James!

Matt, you were way too generous in your plug for me. I appreciate it greatly, but I am "uninhibited" (refreshingly or no)? My wife claims that I am one uptight guy (pants tightly up to the chest in the stereotypical Asian fashion style). I must credit my wife, however, for she has helped a lot to loosen my pants a bit. Uh, okay, that didn't sound quite I meant... As for wine, I am not a fancier at all -- I prefer cheap spicy Hungarian wine ("Bull's Blood" available at your local Trader Joe's for a few bucks a pop) over a lot of fancier wines. Now, ciders, there is a drink about which I can claim some expertise (local brand Spire is pretty good). As for my dogs, nothing some money and time can't fix. All the "tuition" and every Saturday morning spent at a doggie school run by a guy who used to train dogs for the US Army has be worth something, right? I feel very "Seattle" when I pack my two dogs in the car and drive down to the "canine training facility" and also when I end up spending more on vet bills than on healthcare costs for my wife and me!

But watch it with this modesty stuff, wouldja? I'd hate to see someone as non-PC as you conform to yet another Asian stereotype. Posted by: Matt R. at July 16, 2004 04:07 PMPost a comment
