Department of Defense
news briefing
February 12, 2002

"The message is - that there are known knowns: there are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns, that is to say there are things that we now know we don't know, but there are also unknown unknowns: there are things we do not know we don't know and each year we discover a few more of those unknown unknowns.."

you can listen to all of them here, and maybe download one:

In a kind of corporate epistemological way.

It doesn't say a damn thing, ultimately, but it makes sense.

is bizarre.

somebody put his quotes together as poetry

I'm sure I saw it here, but it was some time ago

The Unknown

As we know,
There are known knowns.
There are things we know we know.
We also know
There are known unknowns.
That is to say
We know there are some things
We do not know.
But there are also unknown unknowns,
The ones we don't know
We don't know.

Glass Box

You know, it's the old glass box at the—
At the gas station,
Where you're using those little things
Trying to pick up the prize,
And you can't find it.
It's—

And it's all these arms are going down in there,
And so you keep dropping it
And picking it up again and moving it,
But—

Some of you are probably too young to remember those—
Those glass boxes,
But—

But they used to have them
At all the gas stations
When I was a kid.

—Dec. 6, 2001, Department of Defense news briefing

The students laugh themselves sick when I put up a photo of Rummy with that quote underneath (and even more when I put on a poker face and deconstruct the logic). But they do remember it.

SHUT-UP..SHUT-UP...SHUT-UP

I actually ordered his audio book from my library....they had to send away for it....just so I could hear him read the same parts, like the above, that they used to read on Majority Report.

Steph Miller plays the pipe one all the time

do you listen to her?

I LOVE it when she imitates his voice:

''D'aaaalllll right!''

"And to the C students...I say...you, too, can be President of the United States."

"Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job."

funny, unless you're among those that have a hard time laughing at the destruction of the planet. I waver between both states of mind.......
