Personally, I think that this term is just crying out to be the name of a band. Perhaps it should have been an 80's punk/dance band, but it would also be fun as the name of a heavy-metal/hair band (picture lots of things on the stage exploding).

On Tuesday morning (npr: morning edition), in a discussion about Dubya's meeting with the leader of China, our policy regarding Taiwan was described as a "dedicated policy of ambiguity". I think this description is fabulous. All of this time I thought that I needed to be taking sides and discriminating between right and wrong.

I've decided that my default approach to lifes difficulties will be a "dedicated policy of ambiguity". Family strife, problems at work, choosing gifts. Do you see the possibilities?

Here is the link to the story: (scroll down to) "Trade, Taiwan to Dominate Bush, Wen Talks". Although the link to the story is captioned correctly, the audio link currently points to a story about war tribunals and Iraq (note to self: ambiguity, remember). I've sent them an email and received a response, so hopefully they'll correct the link sometime soon. But if they don't, it's not big deal - broken link, fixed link - either way it works for me.
