level of incompetence

The Alberton Papers, Vol. VI, # VIII
By Dick Darne, 5-20-08
"So, tell me,"said Johnny, "do you suppose Gno’s rant upset anybody?"
"I imagine a few of the diehards who are without much sense of humor." replied Bill. "of course most of them are pretty well disconnected from reality anyway."
"I think most of them have allowed their intellectual facilities to atrophy from watching too much Fox News, especially O’Reilly and Hanninty." added Todd. "The sad thing is they have been used and they don’t even realize it. They form the ‘enabling base’ for one of the most corrupt administrations in history."
"Enough to ruin one’s breakfast, just thinking about it." said Bill. "You know, I’ve done my share of drinking in my day and came up in a family of hard drinkers, so it’s not hard to spot a guy hitting the sauce pretty heavily, or a dry drunk at the least. I really believe the shrub is drinking again."
"That’s not good." replied Johnny. "At his best, it’s scary knowing his finger is on the trigger, if he’s hitting the sauce, that’s really scary."
"Here’s something else to think about," said Todd. "Remember the ‘Peter Principle?"
"Sure do," said Bill, "One is usually promoted until he can no longer handle the job, which becomes his ‘level of incompetence’, and there he remains."
"Well, it looks like the rules don’t apply to the members of the ‘Bush Crime Family’ or he’d still be mismanaging Arbusto." said Todd. "He’s probably set some kind of record for being in over his head."
"All of this is intended to stimulate some kind of discussion, bring things out into the daylight, maybe some friendly banter and exchange of ideas, but if anyone gets upset, we, as collective thinkers should offer some advice." said Bill. "Go ahead, Gno, you tell the nice folks."
"Well, just don’t read it unless you have some chamomile tea handy. Don’t waste the rest of this fine paper, read everything else but recycle this part. Line the bird cage. Pick up dog poop. Start your fire. Highest and best use.
Oh mister block you were born by mistake.........." as Gno went out singing.
