Mehso-so

This is primarily a memoir of Stengel‘s frustrating stint at the State Department. Seems the old men who run our country were slow to understand how people use the internet to communicate and get information. Stengel did his best to fix this. Obama had his back. Bureaucracy slows everything down. There is a lot of bureaucracy in Information Wars and that keeps it from being a pick.

This is interesting, but also tedious if that makes sense.
