King James Bible
I wonder how many American Fundamentalist/Evangelical Christians know that King James of the King James Bible fame (on which Scofield Reference Bible is based) is a “…flaming homosexual.”

Republican Party = Syria, Russia and Vladimir Putin?
Rep. Peter King (R-NY) and Rep. Sean Duffy (R-WI) were interviewed by Wolf Blitzer on CNN about the Republican strategy on how to manage the debt ceiling fight where both politicians drew unexpected parallels…
Rep. Sean Duffy: “…the President is going to have to negotiate with us [Republicans] just like he wants to negotiate with Syria and Russia to figure out a solution on how to resolve this debt problem…”
Rep. Peter King: “… if he can sit down with Vladimir Putin, he can sit down with John Boehner…”
Since presidents are elected nationally, President Obama represents the interests of the nation; we would hope the equating of the Republican Party with Syria, Russia and Vladimir Putin doesn’t mean the Republican Party does not act in the interest of the American people.
Update: Maybe the Republicans are asking to be treated as a hostile foreign power… They’ve listed a series of demands in exchange for a one year increase of the debt ceiling… the long term strategy of a foreign enemy?

Leadership
I recently ran across a definition for managerial excellence: ‘excellent execution of an excellent strategy.’ It occurred to me that this is a good definition of leadership.
It is too bad our recent presidents have been highly deficient as leaders…
President ‘Heck of a job, Brownie’ Bush:
-poorly executed an abysmal Hurricane Katrina strategy
-neglected to develop much less execute a terrorist defense strategy prior to September 11, 2001
-ineptly executed two inadequate strategies of war for Iraq and Afghanistan
President ‘No drama’ Obama:
-modesty executed an inadequate economic stimulus strategy
-did a reasonable job executing an immoral and, most likely, unconstitutional national/international strategy of electronic surveillance
-has no obvious strategy on how to legislate/govern around the obstacle of an intransigent House of Representatives
The U.S. is a powerful nation with numerable resources and incredible… why can’t we elect leaders who are capable of leading?
