Once again, we need to look to the East for our solutions. First it was for outsourcing. Now, it is for effectively dealing with poor upper and middle management. Not only is this an elegant solution for business, but it applies to the management of our country as well. It may not help in the long run, but I’m sure we’d all feel better. And it doesn’t come with a no oversight $700,000,000,000.00 price tag.

Reframing Reality
Categories: News
Woo-hoo? Boo-hoo!
Great. It looks like my bank is going under fast, and the F.D.I.C. may not have the funds to cover our deposits without begging some from the Treasury. Is it time to stuff my mattress with money, or does it really matter at this point? At what point will we need a wheelbarrow full of dollars to buy a loaf of bread? I have the wheelbarrow, but I may need my paper money for bookmarks, toilet paper and other more constructive items. Isn’t a conservative, deregulated America great?
Talking Turds
Oh joy, Tom Delay is making news again. Might as well link to his first blog attempt, then. Shouldn’t he be in prison by now?
Missing My Caucus
The Democratic Caucus here in Idaho is being held tomorrow night, and I can’t go. Crap. The thought of another four years of pro pre-emptive war leadership does not make me happy. Hopefully there are a few other Democrats in my state, a few of which will consider the possibility that funding education, infrastructure and the American people is more important than funding deaths in Iraq and the defense industry. So, my caucus hopes are flaccid for now.
Looking on the bright side, I do get to spend a few days away from the snow and in sunny foggy San Francisco. Yay. I wonder if I have any rainwear anywhere . . .
So would this be considered a success story for our President’s glorious war for oil?- our county solid waste centers have quit accepting glass, as it is now too expensive to ship it out to be recycled. Hooray to the President for a wise war that paid for itself as he promised and has left us swimming in cheap oil! Why yes, I am in a pissy Monday morning mood today, thank you very much.
Since I am so concerned about the environment and oil and all that crap, I should probably quit driving my gas-guzzling B.A.T.*. Unfortunately, it’s the only vehicle that can clear the driveway at this point. So until I start shoveling snow and breaking ice, I am stuck destroying the world with my truck.
Just Get It Over With
Now that Larry Craig has been inducted into the Idaho Hall of Fame, can we start naming important things after him? I nominate the rest stop on I-90 north between Couer d’Alene and Post Falls.
Damned Hippie Liberal Freak
I’ve always known I was a lefty (the permanent ink smudges on my left ring finger are a dead giveaway). I did not know it was this bad, however . . . According to the guys over at Political Compass, I might as well join a commune.
To give it perspective, that’s more commie-hippie than Gandhi, Nelson Mandela and the Dalai Lama, and more Libertarian than Gandhi or Nelson, almost matching the Dalai Lama. Fortunately, they didn’t include O.J. or anyone connected to the Bush administration in the law and order questions, otherwise I would have most likely ended up somewhere to the right and north of Shrub himself.
Going Balls-Out in the News
1. If large testes are bad for your brain, does using steroids maker you smarter?
2. I like alternative energy and the green movement, but when we start getting low on the wanking salmon, will I have to take hand in the brightening myself?
3. I’m sure you could dig up an equal list of dems, but the thugs are making it so easy these days.
4. And finally, I just wish I’d thought of this headline for the Petraeus 9/11 recital: Chickens**t Spews Lies for Chickenhawk.
