  1. biden* is a piece of shit but the democrats come to play, and play dirty.

  2. I thought of two films while watching that.

    One is The Gallant Men (iirc) with James Cagney playing Admiral Halsey. In one scene he has to make a decision about something. He asks his Exec what he thought. Halsey went with his own original idea and not what the Exec said. The Exec said “Under the circumstances I think I should request a transfer.”

    Halsey (Cagney) replied, “If you always agreed with me, what good are you to me?”

    The other film is Ikiru, a Japanese film directed by Kurosawa. At the beginning of the film, the protagonist goes for a doctor appointment. As he waits, some other guy tells him that if the doctor says everything is fine, that he can eat anything he wants, etc., that means he does not have long to live. Sure enough, when the hero goes in to see the doctor, the doctor does everything the guy in the waiting room said. He asks the doctor if he has cancer. The doctors has a “Whatever gave you THAT silly idea” reaction.

    Just some thoughts that crossed my mind while watching the video.

    Both are good films, although neither one is necessarily everyone’s cup of tea.

    They ran “Ikiru” on TCM this month and I watched it again over a few days. Really an excellent work on finding meaning in life. I was thinking this film needs to be remade for this country, we have the useless bureaucracy that only serves to thwart the needs of the people already. – Dr. Tar

  3. I LEARNED A LOT ABOUT LEADERSHIP IN THE NAVY, FROM OBSERVING THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY

    I WAS AN ENSIGN WHO HAD BEEN COMMISSIONED AT OCS, HAD COMPLETED SURFACE WARFARE OFFICER SCHOOL IN CORONADO, AND WAS ORDERED TO REPORT TO A DESTROYER SQUADRON WHILE WAITING FOR MY SHIP WHICH HAD JUST LEFT PEARL HARBOR EN ROUTE 32ND ST IN SAN DIEGO

    THE CSO OF THE SQUADRON ASSIGNED ME TO REPORT TO LIEUTENANT PERRY, WHO WAS NOT YET IN HIS OFFICE, SO I WAITED

    NAME PLATE ON THE DESK??

    LT OLIVER HAZARD PERRY III

    THIS MIDGET WITH A NAPOLEONIC ATTITUDE ARRIVED AND IMMEDIATELY STARTING CHEWING MY ASS FOR BEING IN HIS SPACE, AND THAT DID NOT GO WELL WITH ME

    I TOLD HIM THAT I WAS ASSIGNED BY THE CSO, HAD DONE AS TOLD, AND THERFORE NOT ABOUT TO TAKE CRAP FROM A SHORT CHUBBY DUDE WITH AN ATTITUDE PROBLEM AND THAT I WAS TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE CSO SO THAT THE SQUADRON KNOWS WHAT AN DICKHEAD HE WAS

    I WAS WRITTEN UP FOR DISRESPECT WHICH WAS QUICKLY DISMISSED BY THE COMMODORE, AND I WAS ASSIGNED TO A GREAT BLACK OFFICER WHO HAD THE LEADERSHIP SKILL AND ENOUGH INTEREST IN MY FUTURE TO SHOW ME THE ROPES AND HELP ME FEEL BETTER ABOUT MY CAREER CHOICE

    TALK ABOUT A SIDE BY SIDE EXAMPLE OF HOW TO LEAD, AND HOW NOT TO

    OHP III WAS IN OVER HIS HEAD WITH ARROGANCE

    WHAT A DICK

  4. What he missed is the problem of character flaws in leadership exacerbates itself automatically. Incompetent ass kissers get into leadership positions and then promote more ass kissers below them because that is the only talent they recognize and admire. They push competent workers aside because the competent easily recognize the incompetence of the leader and call them out, or make them look bad to others because they outdo and embarrass them.
