Rick, do you really want to compare position for position Bush vs
Obama appointments? If you like we can, and lets include the
sanctions, indictments and jail terms for good measure. I will just
remind people just how incompetent and venal were the folks who you
uncritically supported in their every move, no matter how stupid, no
matter how unpatriotic, no matter how wasteful . . . for the last 8
years.

"In English, the term martinet is usually used not in reference to the

strict adherence to set rules, especially such a person in the
military. This sense of the word reputedly comes from the name of Jean
Martinet, Inspector General of the army of Louis XIV and thus would be
etymologically only by accident related to the earlier sense.
In an extended sense, a martinet is any person for whom a strict
adherence to rules and etiquette is paramount: martinets often use
etiquette and other rules as an excuse to trump ethics, to the point
that etiquette loses its ethical ground. The Ugandan dictator Idi Amin
was famously described as a "strutting martinet" by Time in 1977.[1] "

Ah, OK...so as long as intentions are basically good, then all's well. By
this
logic, anyone who wishes to offer the least criticism for, as an example,
Michael Brown and/or George Bush, must prove to an, um, metaphysical
certainty
that they had bad intentions for every factor that would affect that
criticism
or have that critique voided by the "but they didn't INTEND..."
rebuttal...

I must have missed the part where this actor was going to serve in a
mission-critical function like, say, head of FEMA. Could you elaborate?


I have no idea what actual legal duties the
Prothonotary in BC has, but if it does, I don't see how,
generally-speaking, a
person in an "IT job" would have legal training to qualify them for the
position
over, say, a notary (a "civil attorney" type notary, not a bank teller
with a
stamp and a pen), lawyer, paralegal, legal secretary, etc.

as the job is set up here, the Prothonotary is more or less the keeper of
all non-court related County records. Yes, in this day and age, IT
management can make for a much more modern and organized system of doing the
job. The normal occupant of said position is usually a person from a
well-connected family in need of a job, any job.

That brings us to the second point - this civic-minded IT guy isn't being
appointed, he's having to run, and if the people he intends to serve want
him to
serve regardless of his qualifications, then so be it.

I read your objections, such as you raise, to the Obama administration, and
both the trivial nature of the beefs, along with a general missing of the
whole changed nature of his political organization jump out at me. In fact,
I start hearing Bob Dylan in the background singing, "There's something
going on here, but you don't know what it is...."

Oh, hey, I freely admit I have no idea what the Obama administration is doing in
many instances...what concerns me is that they don't, either...

I do not claim, as of yet, that he or they are "incompetent," but rather, that
it is what concerned me all along: complete inexperience and lack of knowledge.
And you (and Ken and many of his other defenders) are correct when you address
some of the criticism _in isolation_ as small or "trivial" things. But when you
look at the entire spectrum, it adds up to indicating that the lack of
experience and knowledge is causing problems - so far, thankfully, most small
ones in the scheme of things. Will those things lacking matter in some dramatic
fashion? Impossible to say as it can only be commented upon after the fact.

Maybe you ought to Wiki up something for yourself, there, Daffy...

As I said, I don't watch Hannity, but I did occasionally watch Hannity and
Colmes, and I must say, the first time I saw it, I thought, "Boy, that Hannity
guy is _EXACTLY_ like a white Idi Amin"...his exaggerated military bearing and
repeated citing of "Robert's Rules of Order" and "Emily Post," even to
off-camera personnel, did seem a bit odd and excessive...

HTH,

....OTOH, maybe it was just all the festoonery on Hannity's Gilbert and Sullivan
inspired uniform...he is the very model of a modern Ugandan dictator...

Now I know for sure we got you Boo****s on the run.
You can tell when they start to turn on their heroes, like Rick here
just did on one of the their main mentors, Mr. Martinet Hannity, the
whackjob, Mr. Boo**** Leader Maximo of the Boo****skies, Mr FOX,
Ruperts favorite Boot Licker Hannahosuckmaster, and all round
****ant.

Up to this point his resolve was solid and Der Plan was underway.
Possibly under the very leadership of the secretive, Senor Rick.

#1, Send in the BeanMan, let him get under their skin with his
mindless troweling on of **** made up in the mind of head Druguser in
Chief, Limpback and his gang, The Anal Warts.

#2. Then along come Rick, smoking jacket and all, Deconstructionista,
master of disaster in the reasoning and logic areana, true believer in
every act of Bush and Cheney, loyal in spite of it all, unshakable in
the defense of incompetence, unmoved by continous acts of Bush
stupidity and out of control spending, . . . along come Rick with the
daily made up ****y harassment of the Obama Prez, from day one. What
unquestioning loyalty. Better than Rin Tinny Tin.

#3 And the Rice a Roni? The Anal Warts!!!!!!!!! Those wild and crazy
guys, those silly ass biters, . . . from California to the
Massachusetts Highlands. . . sing it Mz Laura, those Fox and Rush
stalled warts, well you fill in the rest.

But like Raygun's mind in his second term, the plan is not working.
The people have a memory. They remember all too well how the Boo****s
wanted to steal their Social Security accounts. They remember who in
the Bush Whitehouse betrayed US CIA agents to cover up Presidential
lies, They know who signed the blank checks to the banks. They know
about the stolen money that should have been used to help our soldiers
get Bin Ladin.

Dear Rick Keenardo,
You should have seen Hannity/FOX today. Right at the end of his piece
on "Today's Themes for Boo**** America Haters" he laid it all out.

He said, "A special dart goes out today for Boo****ers who up till now
have with slavish, unquestioning loyalty, mouthed lavish hate on
anyone trying to clean up the crap our team has pulled on the American
people, BUT WHO are LOSING FAITH with the principles of screw-the-
people, and cheat-the-troops-for-a-dollar, and so-you-thought-
your-401k-was safe-from-us.

"These principles are our Bible and don't you forget it." He went on
to say. . . "if you cannot keep up the Boo****er attacks on Obama
every day your privileges will be revoked. No more legacy admissions,
cancellation of off shore bank accounts, no more no-bid contracts, no
more fake "Made in the USA" labels. And that's just the start."

That is scary stuff. What with the resupply of Duck loads that Cheney
just got, no one would blame you if you backed off of the "hate
America" Boo**** team. Even Nascar has seen some cutbacks.

Hell, I'm a longtime Democrat, and I don't believe much of the above(or the
