But Wait! I've Got a Mandate

It is frustrating when someone chooses not to work within the expectations for effective problem solving.  When instead, he chooses to make up the facts, not be forthright with the people he works for, and instead turns to those who he thinks he has to please and curry favor with, making outlandish promises and blaming his failures on others.

But this is what I’ve got to deal with, from time to time, at work.  Fortunately our government is in much more reasonable hands.
