Tom Barnard bleating on about "Survival of the fittest" again. What a goat.
Edited on Wed Jan-30-08 04:55 PM by HypnoToad
Man, there are I wish his job could be offshored. Heck, there are days when a talking cabbage would be more informative the days he goes into "pompous ass" mode. (there are days I readily agree with him, and he's got charisma, but I'd swear he's more often a parrot who can't be bothered to think of real solutions. That's not a sign of being the fittest. Maybe the most indolent, but whining on the radio for the fun of it is hardly productive, and some right wing lawyers wouldn't even classify his AS a job... I'd like to see him do a real job once...)

It's not about being fit (not to mention he's much fatter than I am); it's about cost. And there is a line between knowing/doing things well and lying then delegating your work to others. I know people of the latter, and if they couldn't talk they'd be fired in an attosecond... those who know what an attosecond is are typically asked to "dumb things down so they can read it", "speak English", et cetera. What the frig happened to raising peoples' standards? We have to be dumbed down? Hey, I'll work with people but since when is not helping others expand their mental acuity a bad thing?!

And if it was about the fittest; then enlist the fittest first. They're more likely to win wars. ;)

He and his friends this morning seem to think the economy is great too. Yeah, all the "STORE CLOSING" and house foreclosure signs are real indicative of that. :eyes:

1. You sure he didn't mean:
"Survival of the Fattest?"
