This is Smart, and Not Too Long

one of the wonderful things about this shite temp job (it's not shite, really -- no place is when you get free White Cheddar Cheez-its -- it's just mind-numbing) is that I have a lot of time to surf the web. I could, theoretically, be looking for a real job -- but come on.

So I'd like to point you to The Black Table, in case you don't already know about it. It's is fresh each day and is quite amusing -- at times even poignant. I would in particular like to draw your attention to this article, which dissects the Bush (mis)administration's "promot[ion of] the appearance of leading ... rather than actually leading." I know, I know, we've heard it all before -- but it's very well done here, and (I've said it before and I'll say it again) not too long.
