Minions Make The Executive
Dear Friends, It seems to me, no matter how great an executive is, if he is surrounded by half-wits, clingers, and traitors… he will fail, and fail miserably. This will happen no matter how hard-working, adept, or patriotic he may … Continue reading

How Corrupt Is The Bureaucracy
Dear Friends, It seems to me, with every passing day, there’s a new revelation about how corrupt the bureaucracy is. Of course, unaccountable people always become corrupt. It’s a law of nature or something. So we shouldn’t be surprised, but … Continue reading
