Laugh out Loud Funny. Thank you for the post. My favorite line is below:

"I began to think on the job. I knew that thinking and employment don't mix, but I couldn't stop myself."

How utterly true!

“I began to think alone--"to relax," I told myself--but I knew it wasn't true. Thinking became more and more important to me, and finally I was thinking all the time.”

George? George Costanza?!

Hilarious. I will be sending this to my true-blue liberal friends, thanks!

The irony is that crats think that WE are the mind-numbed robots, and that they are almost all brilliant policy wonks.

They still believe that Al Gore was a brilliant policy wonk, while George W. Bush was a simpleton who coasted through Yale and Harvard Business school. Unless I am mistaken, his Dad was not VP until well after he graduated from Yale, and probably was not VP until after he graduated from Harvard Busienss School (although I don't know for sure about the latter.)

His Dad became a Congressman during his college education or graduate education, I think. A Congressman ranks somewhere around a good English butler in the eyes of many of the people whose kids attend Harvard Business School. That is, a useful and valued servant, nothing more. I am saying that they do not let anyone coast through to get a Harvard MBA based on his Dad's being a Congressman. I wonder if they might let the Sultan of Brunei's primary heir do it, but I have no evidence that they would.

Now University of Virginia is different. They have demonstrated that they will let in a guy who was caught cheating at Harvard. (Teddy Kennedy) I don't think UVA's Darden School of Business is easy for anyone, though.

Nice expropriation of political humor, by changing the political affiliation. Too bad the joke doesn't make much sense unless it's "Republican," though.

The giveaway? Anyone who thinks that listening to NPR constitutes "thinking" is already a registered Democrat.

"That's a faulty syllogism," I said impatiently.

LOL, too funny!
