George W. Bush, 2005

Wow, evidently three white house aids corroberated Bush’s comment on
our Constitution.  Check out a couple of related articles:

Mr. Bush, seems to me like you are sporting some pretty nice flip-flops, at least as far as the Plame leak is concerned . . . 
From what I can tell, on September 30, 2003 you said, "If there is a leak out of my administration, I want to know who it is.  And if the person has violated the law the person will be taken care of."

Then on June 10, 2004 you were asked if you would fire → Continue reading “Nice Flip-Flops Mr. Bush”

From Sonia:

Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president his daily briefing.

He concludes
by saying:

"Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed in an accident."

"OH NO!" the President exclaims, "That’s terrible!"

His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as
the president sits, head in hands.

Finally, the President looks up and
asks……….

"How many is a brazillion?"→ Continue reading “Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president his daily briefing . . .”

An interesting article about the state of our economy and the effect of Greenspan’s (usually cryptic and mostly unintelligible gobbledegook) announcements on the subject.

From Sonia:

I just was passed this link by the Montgomery County Democrats:

Big name companies are rated in terms of how much money they donated to
either Republican or Democratic causes.  Look up your computer maker, the
last airline you flew on, the last grocery store you shopped at.  My
results were rather frightening and I might need to change where I buy
chickpeas for Ryan and I.  :-)  I guess one of the ways we can vote

Wasn’t that nice of us?  I’m certain all of our "enemies" would send us a thank you card if they didn’t think it might endanger their lives.  I’m certain they all think thankful thoughts though, so don’t worry.

Why are they so thankful?  Every tax payer in the USA is currently funding the largest terrorist trainging and recruiting camp in history, Iraq.  And $300,000,000.00 goes a long way  . . .

 
Iraq is now a central hub in the → Continue reading “The $300M Terrorist Training/Recruiting Camp”

Ever since day 1 there has been the struggle between Federal and States Rights/Power.

Regardless of whether the electoral college continues as a part of our voting system we need to standardize and revamp the voting system for national elections in the United States of America.
Because how someone votes in Alabama effects the lives of people in
Oregon and the rest of the 50 states everyone in this country should
see the same ballot and vote in exactly the → Continue reading “Why We Need to Standardize National Elections”

If you want to enhance the security of the US and the world in general
against the threat of so-called terrorism the best thing to do is to
help the percieved "enemy" be and feel more secure.

This will enhance security for both parties.  Now there are two parties dealing with each other who both have something to lose and it is possible to re-enable the paradigm of deterrence.

It seems to have helped get us through WWIII (Cold War), → Continue reading “Now is the time to work towards a deterrence paradigm by enhancing the security of the “enemy”.”

The more monotheistic influence that has crept into government has dissolved the concept of debate and plurality.  Based on a mono-theistic religious ideology you are morally prohibited from allowing another viewpoint on the question of "Who is God?".  Thus, if you think you are legislating for the "cause" of your religious ideology, you cannot even engage in a discussion with someone else on the subject because you are pre-judged.

Fundamentally, a monotheistic religion is based on the ideological base paradigm → Continue reading “Monotheism and the decline of Political Discourse”

Simple:  in both cases you need to be dealing with a prospect (or invaded, defeated, and/or occupied country and people) that is ready for change, wants to move in that direction and has already been trying to do it for sometime.

Bascially, it needs to already be present in the corporate culture (in a business context) and culture of a people already.

People point to Japan and Germany as examples, however, they are way off the mark as far as → Continue reading “How is a $4M ERP E-business sale like Selling Democracy in Iraq.”
