When I read the quotes out to Robyn this morning she said that this reminded her of her old church. There is a certain sense that the leader is the Man of God and all others are to fall into line, and if they do not their dirty laundry will be shown in public. This … Continue reading Fit to be led.

Persist (do not go your own way).
If you tell the truth there will be pushback. If you are snarky and troll, you have to do that very carefully -- choosing targets that are of the right, for the left will destroy you. I guess Henry Blodgett doesn't have to tell us whether Dickinson will be eligible for unemployment or not. He's … Continue reading Persist (do not go your own way).
