Our County Board President in Cook County Illinois has been a lame duck since February 2nd when he was ousted in the rat primary. Before he leaves he’ll have been a lame duck for 11 months.

You obviously had not just finished telling your Department Manager precisely what you thought of her from a personal and professional standpoint.

I waited until I had my personal possessions out of my desk and in my car.

Then I told the damned fool that taking lessons in propriety from him was a lot like learning about love from Joseph Stalin.

thanks for posting the Noah Dietrich story. It was a very interesting read. Howard Hughes is a very fascinating character.

I'd like to see Dietrich's memoir come back into print. Granted that Dietrich died in 1982 (he was 93), but it's practically the best book I ever read about the Hughes empire's making and near-unmaking. (Hughes could have been destroyed by the TWA financing crisis during which he lost Dietrich---Dietrich pressed for that capital-gains agreement as a condition for his going to Texas to inflate Hughes Tool profit enough to let Hughes sell the company to pay for 63 Convair 880 jets to augment the carrier's Boeing 707s---but, not long after Dietrich left Hughes, Hughes was forced circumstantially to sell his major stake in the airline, when creditors refused to allow him control of both aircraft development and operation . . . and the sale proved one of the greatest bonanzas of the early jet age.)

Smart move.

LOL! Thank you.
