Alarming News: I like Morgan Freeberg. A lot.
American Digest: And I like this from "The Blog That Nobody Reads", because it is -- mostly -- about me. What can I say? I'm on an ego trip today. It won't last.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: We were following a trackback and thinking "hmmm... this is a bloody excellent post!", and then we realized that it was just part III of, well, three...Damn. I wish I'd written those.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: ...I just remembered that I found a new blog a short while ago, House of Eratosthenes, that I really like. I like his common sense approach and his curiosity when it comes to why people believe what they believe rather than just what they believe.
Brutally Honest: Morgan Freeberg is brilliant.
Dr. Melissa Clouthier: Morgan Freeberg at House of Eratosthenes (pftthats a mouthful) honors big boned women in skimpy clothing. The picture there is priceless--keep scrolling down.
Exile in Portales: Via Gerard: Morgan Freeberg, a guy with a lot to say. And he speaks The Truth...and it's fascinating stuff. Worth a read, or three. Or six.
Just Muttering: Two nice pieces at House of Eratosthenes, one about a perhaps unintended effect of the Enron mess, and one on the Gore-y environ-movie.
Mein Blogovault: Make "the Blog that No One Reads" one of your daily reads.
The Virginian: I know this post will offend some people, but the author makes some good points.
Poetic Justice: Cletus! Ah gots a laiv one fer yew...
Fellow Right Wing News contributor Melissa Clouthier is unimpressed with one of Barack Obama’s classic mistakes — exhibiting a classic telltale sign of bosses who don’t really understand what they’re doing, The Enlightened One is surrounding Himself with people unlikely to challenge whatever ideas of His might need challenging. That’s exactly what George Lucas did when he invented Jar Jar Binks.
[Obama] has surrounded himself with bland yes-men at every turn. First, it was Biden as Vice President. The latest is Tom Daschle at Health and Human Services. Mickey Kaus says:
Mickey’s Assignment Desk: Wherein lies the greatness of Tom Daschle? Just asking! … P.S. He’s always seemed to me the model of the modern Senate Majority Leader–i.e., the 50+ prima donnas that make up a majority don’t want a strong leader who might crowd their games, so they wind up with a Daschle, an amiable man who will not challenge them. …12:11 P.M.
So not only is President Obama acting immature, he’s surrounding himself with people who won’t challenge his wrong thinking and acting. That’s just great.
President Barack Obama is not acting like the leader of the free world. He’s acting like a kid who snuck into the White House and is playing pretend behind the big desk. Time to pinch yourself, President Obama, you’re really there and your words, actions and attitude matters.
Matter.
So anyhow, I just had to share my thoughts, because that’s just the kind of guy I am. And I’ve seen, perhaps, more management-mistakes made than the average bear. At least enough to make it a little tougher than usual to bite my tongue. And I’ve not been one to rise to that challenge anyway, why start now?
…I was giving the laymens’ reference material (Wiki) on Type-A and Type-B personalities a closer look, and I found the conventional wisdom made more sense than I had previously thought. I think most people misunderstand it. Type-A’s are generally not “secure” — the opposite is the case. Their grandiose displays of pomposity mask their internalized feelings of inadequacy. They are the guy driving the enormous or expensive set o’wheels, poorly endowed within the trousers.
One of the symptoms of a poor management style, is to fill all the subordinate layers of management with Type-A’s: All opinions expressed most quickly and most forcefully, must be most correct. Another classic symptom is to fill all the subordinate layers with Type-B’s because you yourself are Type-A. I think the latter of those two most accurately describe[s] the situation in our new executive branch.
