"The two most dysfunctional management cultures I know of right now are the Bush White House and Yale University. From Katrina to Harriet Miers to Dubai, Team Bush is showing signs of being insular, burnt out, and desperately in need of new talent. The White House is also beset by an increasing number of leaks, the clear result of people frustrated that the higher-ups don't appear to be listening."
On Education
With the revelation of that Colorado teacher who preached in class that the United States was the most violent country in history, the below quote is perhaps truer than ever.
EDUCATING VILLAGE IDIOTS"In days of old, teaching right from wrong was the responsibility of parents; schools exclusively taught the basics and neither teachers nor parents were charged with crimes for disciplining unruly children. Today, the 'village,' governmentally empowered to educate and look after our children, is producing arsonists and anarchists. It's ironic that our "evolved" liberal institutions of learning increasingly are producing graduates who have no ethics, no understanding of morality and no mastery of the skills that can reasonably be described as the basics of education."

Amazing that self-styled conservatives, in full posession of the administration, both houses of congress and the Supreme Court, still project the image of pooor beset underdogs.
