3. Simonyi Andras has to be the kewlest ambassador the whole world!

Obviously none of the patronage lice we get saddled with outside the career civil service could approach a message of friendship between two countries like him!



here is a blurb from the Hungarian Embassy to Washington:

http://www.huembwas.org/Staff/CVSimonyi.htm

"Ambassador Simonyi is a long-time supporter of rock and roll music. He played lead guitar in his own band in his youth. Upon arrival in Washington, he formed a band, called the "Coalition of the Willing." They have preformed on various occasions, of which the following stand out: the Knitting Factory in New York; Walter Reed Military Hospital to honor coalition troops; and the House of Blues in Cleveland that raised $150K for victims of Hurricane Katrina. He has also performed occasionally in Fort Worth, Atlanta, Iowa City and various Washington, DC, clubs."

He is a Ph.D. too and set up negotiations in Brussels for the Magyar Republic to join NATO!
