Failure

To go along with the sense of impoverishment that seems to be in vogue, there is also impoverishment's twin brother ( evil stepsister?), a sense of failure. Perhaps its an old friend? Gentle reader.

Google search the word "failure." The first result is George Bush. However the second result (or is it third) is Failure Magazine. This could be my favorite magazine. Read the story about the 129 pound data entry clerk who sheds his job, throws caution to the wind, and ends up in a Sumo Wrestling Open. This is my kind of guy.

It occurs to me that the term "favorite failure" must be a product of the last 6 years. It compliments in an austere authoritarian way the term "unknown unknowns." The two are engaged in a brutal, torturous, and ultimately meaningless relationship.

Highlighting some of the most egregious failures I surely have ever witnessed in my lifetime, is the mayor of Salt Lake City, Utah.

Salt Lake City Mayor sounds off.

Dissent is essential for a democratic society. Dissent tests the buoyancy of our political system. Don't let some old windbag tell you otherwise.
