Peter Principle - “…employees within a hierarchical organization advance to their highest level of competence, are then promoted to a level where they are incompetent, and then stay in that position.”
I hate myself for actually linking to anything written by Robert Novak. Rest assured it is not for the writing, but for the leak […]
Tonight should be a barnstormer, as George Bush and John Kerry square off in the first of three Presidential debates. Truly, there is no better way to see where each candidate stands on the issues, and how the two men match up with another.
In a perfect world, I could write the preceeding paragraph without […]
When trying to come to terms with the heightened unrest and growing body count in Iraq, many of the war’s supporters revert back to a familiar strategy: blame the liberal media for unfairly skewing people’s perceptions. Iraq isn’t that bad, they claim…usually while quoting one of the following two talking points:

Liberals have done a lousy job explaining both their accomplishments and what they would do if they were in power.

Gambling? Is there anything better? The answer is no, and don’t let those little girlie-men Matt and Jason tell you any different.
