A View from Behind the Curtain: Global Warming

Ya know nothing says "I'm really concerned for the environment, and the global warming caused by the use of carbon based fuels," quite like taking you and your staff on a 747 to Spain where you are met by your security element who flew over on a couple of C-17's to carry your helicopters and motorcars.

The Man in the Arena

It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.

Theodore Roosevelt, "Citizenship in a Republic,"  Speech at the Sorbonne, Paris, April 23, 1910
