Two-and-a-Half Men

 

With apologies to Charlie Sheen, who has probably never, ever received one prior to now, I was struck by the array of Romney, Gingrich, and Obama. Has anyone ever imagined a more apt visual representation of the show's title?

 

Rising above an impressive group of skilled and intelligent public servants, Romney and Gingrich have understandably recently reached the top of the ranks.

 

And what about the lesser half? An overeducated, overpraised, newbie who doesn't know the first thing about leadership, real life international relations, and dealing with those who are not in awe of HIM. It's really rather sad.

This silly tirade is really rather sad, Gordon.

Usually you do better than this.

Just having a bad day?
Thanks for your loyal patronage, Frank. I guess I'll just have to live with your disappointment.
Not sure if you celebrate Thanksgiving in Brazil, Gordon, but if you do, Happy Thanksgiving.

I enjoy our conversations whether we are in agreement or in disagreement. You have a keen sense of humor; your response to my first comment being an example. That is something I appreciate. I know we can be cyber friends despite the differences.
Of course we can, Frank. Happy Thanksgiving!
You said it Gordon, not me.
Happy Thanksgiving Gordon
Happy Thanksgiving Gordon
