I agree. For example, the piece mentioned, not for the first time, Dubya's
seeming ducking of his National Guard obligations. I have yet to see, in
the dozens of accounts I've read about this failure to participate, how
his actions deviated from the usual and accepted practice of the time.

In other words, was "everybody" doing what he did or did he really shirk
his obligations and was never called out?



I just love that excuse. Johnny does it so why can't I.
The first admonition from me when conducting a verbal reprimand was to warn
the employee that such excuses would not be tolerated.
"First of all, you're not "Johnny"'
"Secondly, I am not required to inform you of whatever disciplinary measure
I may or may not have taken with another employee.
"Third, you may not be aware of all the circumstances surrounding the
performance, or lack of, by another employee."

Max (but I don't think Bush was all that bad either) ;-)
