It's close to the end of the year, so it's time to dispose of some notes I never got around to writing up. Here goes...
It is disturbing for a historically-inclined person like me to find out that only 8% of the BO czars, czarinas, and other inner-group types have any real experience in the business world. Most of them are of the college hanger-on variety. In Paul Johnson's classic
Modern Times, the author describes another government as being populated by university students who had never run anything in their lives.
It was the Khmer Rouge.
During the health-care deform debates in the House of Reprehensibles, far-left rep Rosa DiLauro (D-CT) said that abortion was women's "God-given right". Who knew that Rosa worships the gods of the Aztecs? My God frowns upon human sacrifice...
I suppose the sales job the congressional Democrats and the BO administration have used to pump up approval of the "Stimulus Bill" is understandable, in a way. The spreading of a lot of manure helps crops grow, so they decided to try the same technique in the employment field.
After the Copenhagen "global warming" exercises, BO announced that the agreement signed would prevent the global temperatures from climbing more than two degrees. If his predictions on the global temperatures are as accurate as his prediction of the effect of his stimulus bill on the unemployment rate was, we can start planning our 2011 November beach parties now.
