Woody Allen is often attributed with saying "90% of life is just showing up". I remember it as an older movie star ... perhaps George Burns ... adding that you had to show up on time to be successful. I, personally, have an obsession of being on time to appointments ... to the point of most often being annoyingly early. Anyway, The Barry was scheduled to talk to the nation today at 10:35 about the precipitous drop in new employment in June (see Jobs Growth). But our nation was again hanging on cable-TV tether hooks watching an empty podium in front of the White House. The Barry eventually showed up at 11:05 -- a half-hour late (as is his wont). I couldn't watch all what he said about this jobs malaise, but I'm pretty sure he blamed George Bush.
Next to closed mindedness, time is our biggest enemy.
ReplyDeleteI hope your closed-mindedness comment is referring to The Barry constantly off-loading blame.
ReplyDeleteObsessive "annoyingly early" behavior is often manifested by jump-the-gun dour political predictions which turn out to be wrong.
