Anna Chapman: cosmonaut tailor

*People who ridicule this political strategy of Anna's really aren't getting it. They remind me of people ridiculing the iPad. "Look, a sleeper agent who just launders money globally, joins social networks and doesn't even spy." It's like complaining that an iPhone has no buttons.

*If the USA had this phenomenon, it would be a smiling Paris Hilton telling us that the NSA tapping our phones was just great. "See? I had my personal privacy totally violated, yet now I'm hotter and richer than ever!" This is Russian modernity talking here, in the person of Anna Chapman. People need to wake up some.

*I wonder if the clothes will be any good. Those are commonly hot global exports, performance clothes. You might want to ask William Gibson about that. In fact you might wanna ship Anna a William Gibson signature laptop bag. Tell her I suggested that.

*No wait. I'll go farther than that. Anna: your English is great, and I know that you egosurf. Send me the design concept-sketches for your spacesuits. I give you my word that I'll post 'em here. Boingboing.net, @warrenellis, hey, they'll be all over that. Imagine your street-cred.

*You know you want to.
