American Politics

Ok so the American Electorate is all out of shape about a republican congress man from Florida hitting on teenage boys. I get the outrage but I have to wonder why the same exact scandal with a democratic congressman eight years ago did not get the same response. So then today in response to the airplane crash in New York reporters are asking about the US response and we get this answer. Richard Aboulafia, a defense analyst with the Teal Group. "Unfortunately it falls in the category of traffic accident rather than terror." Now if I hear one more democrats argue that the bush administration is "politicized" the war I am going to scream. It seems to me the only thing that makes the Dems happy are high gas prices, high poverty, high US body counts in Iraq, and successful domestic terroist attacks. Let me be the first to hand you a tissue and say I am sorry your disappointed that the New York Yankee's pitcher was not a terrorist. Although Steibreiner might debate that.

Job blues

Well, I found out yesterday that I did not get the Austin position I was wanting. I was told " You did an excllent interview and I believe you would do an excellent job but the other canidate was a better fit for the current unit." That is state HR speak for you were the most qualified canidate but we are going to hire this other person anyway. So why far to often is it not about what you know but who you know. Oh well, some day I will run the world and then everthing will be. . . ok so that may not be such a good idea.
