Sometimes you are too negative. Like other world improvers you take on too much, like you think it is your duty to save the entire white race including the Mommy Profs and their opposites the WalMartians. Instead you are the Mother of Pearl the nucleus to which to build upon. From here it is our job to bring back to the worthies of the white race that sense of Inquiry that took us to the top of the world instead of this funk best described in “Apocolypto” being ruled by Wordists and their pet word “racism.” So when you are feeling depressed (My guess like many talented people you are Manic/Depressive) put Dave in charge.

Comment by Simmons

ME:

Dave, would you be willing to do that from time to time?

Simmons is senior staff at its best, and if you really want to know the difference between SENIOR and regular staff, imagine giving your boss the kind of advice Simmons just gave me. The only person who can tell a congressman he went too far is his wife and his senior staff, and he won’t take his wife seriously.

In fact, that is what happened to me and my boss after I left Capitol Hill. He was a PAS, a presidential appointee with Senate approval, like a member of the Cabinet. But I cramped his style because I would tell him when he was about to step into the bucket with a cutesy trick. He was professor who had never been in DC politics before. All his other staffers were similar, no DC experience. They encouraged his getting cute and had nothing but praise.

He ended up being the only PAS reappointed by the president that I ever even HEARD of that the Senate voted out of office, refused to reconfirm. And the Senate was Republican and Reagan had just won reelection by a landslide! He tried a trick and lost his job. You see, I had been treated to his cold shoulder so I went on to a job as writer for the Voice of America. He had no one to throw cold water on him.

So he drowned.

Shari wrote a comment that I should reproduce my Iran speech without the repetitions. Had she been serious, she would have taken them out and given me a sample. Don’t worry, Shari, very few people would do that, But that is the kind of extra oomph senior staff has to put in.

And no, Shari, none of your comments are below par. Your problem is that you are a lady in a roughhouse here. Stay in here with us and you will finally understand that we hit each other hard, and you take comments about yourself too personally. Elizabeth is about the least apologetic person here, so she is obviously used to this kind of give and take that is a lot like mutual kicks in the teeth.

I need you HERE, Shari.

And you can take a lesson from Simmons. He grabs the old bastard by the beard and says sometimes he needs a rest. Why? Not just for my good, but for HIS. I hated to tell my boss things he didn’t want to hear, but he was my product. I am the major resource of this which blog has been made. Simmons wants the blog to do its job, so he doesn’t shrink from telling me how to do mine.

Of course the only person left out of our little threesome here is the man Simmons tapped. Dave, you ready for more? Peter, Mark? Senior staff is not bashful, unless you consider me an example of bashfulness. Whoever wants to do some basic pieces and take up more slack is invited to contact me, here or at bobw1830@yahoo.com

Needles to say, this offer only extends to those who have been readers and commenters for some time.

For the first ten years I wrote, I would write for anybody and I would read my stuff over and over.

How to we proceed? We start by seeing whether this appeal is met with silence.

I don’t do Whitakerisms any more. I see how things are developing and THEN I make plans, as I explained to LibAnon.
