Right now, I’m in that stage where it feels like so much work to get away, I’d rather just stay home. But I’m sure once we’re underway, I’ll be glad we undertook it. As I’m getting ready to leave, I’m reminding myself of my Secrets of Adulthood for family vacations. What are they? Click through to find out! (And then add your own in the comments…) Less is more. Start early if possible. When packing an item that might leak, put it in a plastic bag. Don’t let anyone get too hungry. Especially me. Cheerfulness is contagious, and crabbiness is even more contagious. Wear sunscreen. Carry tissues. Remind kids to visit the bathroom—don’t wait for the thought to occur to them. Never choose the buffet opti...

House Republicans’ cuts to the Department of Education, which will spend over $70 billion next year, didn’t even amount to $1 billion. “Regardless of whether Pakistan gets its way, its impudence in pushing Afghanistan to abandon America exposes the real balance of power in the region.” “It doesn’t make a lot of sense to refer to a government whose intelligence service assists military efforts by al Qaeda and the Taliban against U.S. troops in Afghanistan as an ‘ally.’” Here are five ways to cut military spending today without changing our strategic focus: Monday Links is a post f...

Or, at least, that should be the case. Eisenhower – the West Point graduate, career military officer, and hero of World War II – was one of the first to ever use the phrase, in a televised Farewell Address to the nation on January 17, 1961. Over the years, however, the MIC has become a mantra for progressives and left liberals, usually used in tandem with an assault on private enterprise, writ large, or as part of an elaborate conspiracy theory that equates crony capitalism with market economics. The left’s capture of the term has ena...

FriedmanDwight D. Eisenhower The Secretary of Defense gave a good speech over the weekend at the Eisenhower library.  Gates used the occasion to evoke Eisenhower and call for discipline in defense spending. But he didn’t really mean it. The speech makes excellent points about how our military’s size long ago ceased to have anything to do with our potential enemies. He pointed out that the non-war defense budget has grown by about half since September 11 and that country’s current fiscal circumstance means that that growth has got to slow. But the speech shows no indication that Gates wants to cut defense spending. It isn’t even clear that he has changed his view that defense spending should grow by about 2% annually no matter what happens in the w...

Here are the words of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, as he left the office of the presidency. He warned of the military-industrial complex:In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes.Eisenhower’s basic insight was that national security is paradoxically threatened by an unchecked military-industrial complex be...

We arrived safe and sound, but with a good deal of dust and grit all over the car. A good deal of the grit and dust comes from Kansas and eastern Colorado. I don’t remember the dust accumulating in Kansas, but there it is. I am not sure I remember much about Kansas, because it is, for the most part, more boring to drive through than people had told me. We spent the night in Abilene. We left early Wednesday morning, and stopped by the Eisenhower Memorial Library. Buck, the big pacifist, had to see the boyhood home of one of our nation’s greatest warriors. Buck also reminded me that he was a Republican president, so there was Buck’s justification. But all we did at ... white pebble blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2033316 Fri, 12 Dec 2008 03:23:44 +0100 2033316 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1407299&cid=t_362527_109_f&fid=35677&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.feedburner.com%2F%7Er%2FBrainBasedBusiness%2F%7E3%2F280269220%2Fgl_hoffmans_take_on_intelligen.html This blog is a response to my invitation to GL Hoffman's thoughts on business intelligence.I laughed when I read GL's opener ...

Ellen asking me to write a guest post for her blog, Brain Based Business!!!, is a bit like Derek Jeter asking me to come over to Yankee Stadium to catch some grounders with him.  Sounds fun at first, but there is a very real chance I will embarrass myself, my family, my company and all my dead relatives.  Plus the uniform will make me look like I am wearing tightie-whities from head to toe.  This could get ugly fast.I learned long ago that I blog best when I don’t think so much.  This is probably very appa...
