You're fired!


I want to see Trump do this to a bunch of bureaucrats. In the EPA, IRS, Dept of Education and the State Department.

I think Garey Busey will make a great Secretary of State.

If only.

I never watched The Apprentice. What did everyone think of it?

Actually, I'd love to see him do it to just about any Cabinet department formed in the 20th Century. this is what they do

Labor - funnel money to the unions
Agriculture - funnel money to Big Ag
Energy - funnel money to the environuts (Interior does the same thing, so lose it, too)
HUD - funnel money to the big city machines
Education - funnel money to the teacher unions
HHS - waste money
Commerce - lie about unemployment, funnel money to favored businesses
Transportation - funnel money to the construction companies
VA - make it an agency again, one of Reagan's biggest mistakes
Defense - go back to the War and Navy Departments

Complete civil service reform is needed. The federal bureaucracy needs to be cleansed of the rank political partisanship overrunning it now.

You eliminate the Dept. of Education and Commerce. You cut 25% across the board in all other agencies. You have a flat tax, gutting the IRS. This would be a good START.

If you can stand to listen to Hillary, she often promises more bureaucrats and more bureaucracy.

G Joubert ...the civil service is not the problem, the senior SES (Senior Executive Service) and above are the problem. You can't begin to reform civil service until you gut the policy and rule makers who direct them. Get rid of the political putzes in SES and civil service folks will fall in to line. Doesn't anyone wonder why SES types (think Lois Lerner, Koskinen, et al) are almost never fired? They are ALL appointees and can be fired at will...but aren't due to the political stash they all have against the others. If Trump should win the office of POTUS this will be his first huge shock.

My mind is just now blown.

On HGTV one of twins dudes is helping one of two sisters remodel a condo. They run into discouraging "living with others" type problems. Near the end, the denouement, the two sisters come in eating ice cream, they're both eating directly from quart cartons.

Quarts. Not pints.

A pint would be bad enough.

I make two giant quart chocolate malted milkshakes with vitamin powder and a banana sometimes on account of me being so dadgum healthy for weight gaining purpose, the aim is gain weight, but that tend to put me into a dizzying state resulting in sugar coma and these two birds are eating a quart each casually.

That reminds me I should just go get two more pints. The choices are very dense ice-cream. That will be $10.00 right there for two pints.

I think the treating themselves, reward, for their project coming together and they passed their ice cream off to the twin and left, so, they didn't finish, but c'mon. They could have chosen reasonably sized ice cream cones.

Thanksgiving I had a slice of cherry pie that somebody bought from the grocery and I must say that cherry sludge and their thin Crisco crust really is good. They got that down to a science.

And the green beans with cream of mushroom soup and with Durkey fried onions on top, the pinnacle of white-peoples' Thanksgiving side, truly a classic, my favorite thing, even cold and turned to gray mushroom mud and tinned green beans that gets stuck in your throat, it is perfect. Through decades I had that all over the place and I mean ALL OVER, but it was something Mum never made. She didn't like mushrooms for tinned mushrooms was all she knew and texture of one in her mouth during pregnancy (with me! ) made her feel instantly ill and put her off mushrooms permanently, the thought makes her ill, so would never encounter the recipe printed on the Campbell's soup label and we would never have any such tin our house.

Painfully, this caused a gap with psychological effect seeing that special and precious casserole with its historic roots going all the way back to the beginning to Squanto the native American indian with his own interesting history involving slavery and travel to Britain and return to his tribe to see it had been demolished and Bradford leader of the Old Comers as pilgrims were known at the time, how presumptuous, and his, Squanto's, introduction of the invisible mighty Campbell soup company ever present looming in the background with its variety of tins of delicious condensed soups. Every family across the wide nation, schools, churches, Elks clubs, Air Force bases, would prepare this impressive votive food offering this time of year except us. All because of those tinned mushrooms.

The guy says, "You're like an onion."
The woman with foreign accent looks puzzled.
The guy holds his hands like a ball and peels away one hand.
"You are layers that make me cry."
The woman smiled and agreed, nodding, "Yes, people say so."

And I'm sitting there having processed by hand thousands of onions and thinking, "Who peels an onion as a ball down by its layers like that? Nobody." The layers wouldn't be making you cry, your poor processing would. Analogy denied.
