Pretty damn hot, eh?

Last Tuesday, as President Obama got off the Helicopter in front of the White House, he was carrying a baby piglet under each arm.

The squared away Marine guard snaps to attention, Salutes, and says: “Nice pigs, Sir.”

The President replies: “These are not pigs. These are authentic Arkansas Razorback Hogs. I got one for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and I got one for Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.”

The squared away Marine again snaps to attention, Salutes, and says: “Excellent trade, sir.

“In life, we don’t get what we deserve. We get what we can successfully claim. What are we really positioning ourselves for through the use of strategy? We are positioning ourselves for making a successful claim. As a psychological and practical matter, we must make claims in order to get rewarded. Rewards are the only proof that what we are doing makes strategic sense, but we will only get those rewards if we make claims.

Many hard -working, creative, productive people never get rewarded because they fail to make appropriate claims. This is not because the people with whom they deal are evil. It is only because the people with whom they deal are human. The need to make claims goes back to the very foundation of strategy in the separation between objective and subjective positions (S-BOK 1.2). We can objectively move to a new position, but until the value of that position is recognized by others, the move has no meaning.

Unless we ask others to recognize us for our positioning, others will simply take our positions and contributions for granted. We all take the contributions of others for granted. Do performers, politicians, and pundits make the greatest contribution to society? No, but they get the most recognition simply because they are positioned to make the loudest claims. The progress created by others in everyday life is systematically ignored in our current–and quickly evaporating–hierarchical communication structure……”

I tried to call into the show last night. AFter waiting for half an hour ’till getting connected to you, I had to give up.

Sorry!

Calling to the States is darn expensive.

If my clumsy attempt at a witty clarification that nothing lewd was there to be seen, instead made things worse I apologize.

“Study: Triathlons can pose deadly heart risks”

You will most likely be asked to ‘tone down’ your rhetoric, and refrain from further resistance to the ‘inevitable’ motion toward global government/socialism. No current living ex-president is even close to cut from the same mold as Reagan. Most, if not all, are leftist, or third-way socialists (including the so-called republicans). Face it, the Bushes are hardly conservative. The last best hope for America lies not with the feminized foolishness of the ex-presidential class, but with patriotic American citizens dedicated to the original intent of our Constitutional founders. I continue to hope for contact with high ranking military officers interested in upholding their oaths to the Constitution by force, as now seems necessary.
I pray, Sir, that I am wrong, but inaction and quiessence across the full-spectrum of governmental leadership, leads me to believe otherwise.
Never-the-less, good luck.
