             MR. BLANKFEIN:  That's the first of a ten-minute spiel, but let me introduce somebody who needs no introduction.  Secretary Hillary Clinton.

             (Applause.)

             MR. BLANKFEIN:  Now, when I say I want no introduction, I'm really only kidding because I want a real introduction and long.

             SECRETARY CLINTON:  I was waiting for it.

             MR. BLANKFEIN:  Well, I'll tell you, I'm more interested in the future.  So, anyway, why don't we just start.

             If you don't mind, can we start with a little bit of a tour of the world and say, you know, if you were -- if you were -- let's take a hypothetical.  Let's say you were Secretary of State.

             (Laughter.)

             MR. BLANKFEIN:  What would you be focused on?  What would you be focused on today?  And tell a little bit about how your priorities would be and how you would deal with some of it now.

             SECRETARY CLINTON:  Well, gee, I'll just have to cast my mind back.

             (Laughter.)

             SECRETARY CLINTON:  Well, first, thanks for having me here and giving me a chance to know a little bit more about the builders and the innovators who you've gathered.  Some of you might have been here last year, and my husband was, I guess, in this very same position.  And he came back and was just thrilled by --

             MR. BLANKFEIN:  He increased our budget.

          MR. O'NEILL:  Welcome.  This has been a great day and a half here at the AIMS Symposium, and it is my distinct honor to introduce today's lunch conversation.  Please join me in welcoming Secretary Clinton, who will be hosted in a discussion with our own Tim O'Neill, who is the cohead of investment management.

          Well, thanks again, Madam Secretary. Everyone is very interested in what you have to say, so why don't we get right to it and start talking about the political process in Washington, D.C.

          I think it's fair to say that the government shutdown and debates that surrounded it were not the finest hours in political history, but democracy is an evolving process, and nobody has a more refined perspective of that than you, having served in the executive branch as well as Congress.

            MS. CLINTON:  Let's start with the

chairman.

            MR. BLANKFEIN:  China.  We're used to

the economic team in China.  We go there all the

time.  The regulations -- and then every once in a

while you hear about South China, the military

side.

            How do you from the state department

point of view -- less familiar to us -- think about

China, the rise of China, and what that forebodes

for the next couple of decades?

            MS. CLINTON:  Well, you start off with

an easy question, but first let me thank you.

Thanks for having me here and giving me an

opportunity both to answer your questions and maybe

later on some of the questions that some of the

audience may have.

            I think it's a good news/maybe not so

good news story about what is going on right now in

China.  On the good news side I think the new

leadership -- and we'll see more of that when Xi

Jinping gets here in the United States after having

gone to Latin America.  He's a more sophisticated,

more effective public leader than Hu Jintao was.

            He is political in the kind of generic

sense of that word.  You can see him work a room,

which I have watched him do.  You can have him make

small talk with you, which he has done with me.

His experience as a young man coming to the United

States in the 1980s -- going to Iowa, spending time

there, living with a family -- was a very important

part of his own development.

The Other Six are Lying

FOUR in ten Aussies admit they have drunk so much they’ve vomited....

Nearly eight in ten Australians consume alcohol with wine (33 per cent) the most common beverage of choice followed by beer (20 per cent) and spirits (15 per cent).

Okay, maybe just four out of the remaining six were lying. (And don't you want to put a comma after "alcohol"? The way it is, it's hard to read it without thinking they're saying they consume alcohol with wine.)

“They tend to buy into the alcohol industry advertising spin. The reality is very different, with drinkers far more likely to have experienced negative consequences, and far less likely to have felt happy or relaxed,” Ms Giorgi said.

If you think alcohol will make you magically happy, maybe you just need to grow the fuck up.
