Happy Friday the Thirteenth, and Happy Honey Moon.
NSA: Aw, you know I can’t possibly go more than a few days without coming up with some NSA, spying on Americans, War on Terror,or Privacy right? Heck, they may actually have to do things the legal way.
We Don’t Need No Education: Maybe. Unless of course we do.
It’s good to be the king: Or even just the CEO. Not so good to be a serf, but that’s “same as it ever was.”
Election Follies: So much to ridicule, so little time. At least the Chicken Lady lost her bid to be a candidate for Lieutenant Governor in Nevada.
Is anyone in their right mind surprised?: The DEA is playing hard ball with docs who associate themselves with medical marijuana. This is why Nevada doesn’t require a prescription. Remember: pot is still illegal under Federal law, and when all is said and done the Civil War established that Federal law will always trump state law (in that case, the state laws that said people could own other people).
Times haven’t changed: Perception has.
Maya: Zen Pencils.
And Finally: Purple Toes. More.
Education is a wonderful thing. It really is. But if I had to choose between 1 person with four years of college and 1 year on the job vs. another person with 5 years on the job experience … all else being equal … I’d most likely select the person with 5 years actual working experience. My personal experience with 34 years in management, sans degree, has taught me that. Of course, there are always exceptions. Personalities need to mesh well too. Of course you could have an absolute genius with the personality of a turnip on either side. It happens.
