Leadership Matters

|link| Here’s an editorial from MilitaryWeek.com concerning why leadership matters, and takes umbrage at the Bush/Cheney slogan, “Leadership Matters.”

An absence of leadership qualities in our military leaders gives rise to terms like “Seagull” Colonels and Generals, a species known to swoop in, make a lot of noise, crap all over everything, and then fly away. But our seagulls had an advantage over Bush and Cheney. Regardless of the mistakes made and not remedied, regardless of the illogic, stupidity and sheer idiocy of our present unit’s existence under a seagull commander, at least we could be 100% sure they wouldn’t be around for long.

That’s the quote that’s getting the most attention, but I think the conclusion is quite succinct: “Leadership does matter. The Bush/Cheney campaign should be ashamed of itself.” If you read the article you’ll also note that there is no endorsement of Kerry, either.

Votergasm

|link| Votergasms encourages you to only have sex with those who bother to vote. Why? Because voting is an important aspect of American life (and other countries, too, but this is for American politics). Site is technically safe for work, but you might want to wait till you get home…

Superman’s Blog

|link| We previously mentioned The Hulk’s diary and Green Arrow’s blog. The trifecta is complete now with Superman joining the crew of superbloggers.

Who knew Superman was so angst-ridden and grumpy? I hope someone explains to him what spam email is soon or he won’t have enough money for his tights…

Greedy Bastards

|link| As if the music industry weren’t making enough money for themselves, now they are digging into the online music business at no cost to themselves and making approximately 62% of each song sale. How much of that do you think musicians are making? Not much.
