Just a suggestion: next time we hire a Chief Executive, let’s try to make sure he or she has at least a discernible record of life experience outside of mau-mauing the flak catchers or dreaming of his or her fucking father.
I mean, pick up a wrench or change a tire, for Chrissakes!
Trust me: things will run a lot more smoothly this way.
You’re welcome.

Next: The CinC will order all the toilets in the Pentagon to be simultaneously flushed.
Jeff, now there’s an idea. Instead of a poll tax or literacy test for the voters, some sort of competency test for elected officials.
I suggest the following:
Calculate, by hand, the tax on an item, then make correct change, without a register.
Hand the candidate a shovel and have them demonstrate the ability to dig a ditch, or, hell, plant a shrubbery.
Changing a tire is a given. Maybe hand the candidate a hammer, a nail and a board.
Target shooting is with a pistol, rifle and shotgun is required.
Bonus points will be given to a candidate that can replace a garbage disposal.
Once again, that number is 1-800-F1U-CKYO.
An amendment?: Maybe hand the candidate a 24 oz. framing hammer, a 12d wire common-nail and a well cured fifteen year old red oak 6×6 post, cheerfully saying “Drive ‘er home.”
Then stand back to see if he attempts it . . . for the fail.
Or passes, by replying “Hey, fuck you buddy. You drive it home. I want no parts of that idiocy.”
heh.
“How about if I call a cab for it instead?”
sdferr, I like the way you think…but..is a politician really worth a well cured red oak 6 x 6 post?

At a certain stage of development , the societies of eastern Europe
are going to have to face up t0 the necessity of eliminating the
bureaucratic dictatorship. This social change, even were it to disrupt
bureaucratic power over a period 0f several months, will radically
affect all the present institutions 0f power, disrupt the relationships
between them and, ultimately, destroy them. Therefore it is correct
to term this overthrowing of bureaucratic power a revolutionary
process.

There’s a not-too-old Russian joke:
It is the time of Stalin, he is traveling in a train and it becomes stuck in the snow. Stalin says, “fire all the engineers and replace them with the proletariat.” The trains gets moving again.
Time passes.
It is the time of Khrushchev, he is traveling in a train and it becomes stuck in the snow. Khrushchev says, “bring back the engineers. .. they knew what they were doing.” The trains gets moving again.
Time passes.
It is the time of Brezhnev, he is traveling in a train and it becomes stuck in the snow. Brezhnev says, “pull down the shades and pretend we are moving.”
… next, Obama will be saying we should pull down the shades and pretend …
Neo, not to put to fine a point on it, but, Obama is already saying that. Just look at the speech today with human props and all.
