Today's Stichomancy for Donald Rumsfeld

The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll:

Until his face was blue: "Come, tell me how you live," I cried, "And what it is you do!"

He said "I hunt for haddocks' eyes Among the heather bright, And work them into waistcoat-buttons In the silent night. And these I do not sell for gold Or coin of silvery shine But for a copper halfpenny, And that will purchase nine.
