...F'in peanut farmer!
You took the words right outta my mouth....lol
This fellow never said a word about Clinton's "creepy obsessions"
At least Bush's legacy will be known as encouraging kids to exercise and not teaching teenagers that "oral sex isn't really sex"
Bullcrap. Nitwits like you are the reason I work for myself. That way I actually get judged on the quality of my work. What a concept. Personally, I would expect "slovernly" spelling to be a more accurate predictor of work behavior than poor lawn hygiene. Thank God YOUR boss doesn't have a spelling fetish, or you'd be on the street.
OK, disregard my previous post. Lawn care IS probably predictive enough to include in a shopping list of 20-30 items. From your post it sounded like you'd hire or fire someone based solely on his lawn.
Mr. Chait is obviously clueless, not realizing that the Secret Service guys are literally "within arm's reach" ALL THE TIME when Bush is out, with instant communcations ready to go.
"Wanted: Fossil fuel man, must be obsessive about yard care and like beer."
Sounds like you're trying to hire Hank Hill!
PS: Mrs. Thinking says I AM the flesh and blood incarnation of Hank Hill.
Bring it on dirty bedsheetheads, you know you can't take us on even Steven, what a herd of psycho~cowards iklamofags are!
". . . From your post it sounded like you'd hire or fire someone based solely on his lawn . . ."
Definately not! I just like to know EVERYTHING I can about a person before I put the lives of a drilling crew and millions of my and other participants dollars in his hands.
And that includes personal practices.
Good engineers are typically slightly neurotic, obsesive-compulsive, detail-oriented (to the extreme) Dockers-wearing people.
This personality generally spills out into their lawns, their cars, their wives, kids, etc.
I swear, they will take a swipe over anything. What's next? His bedtime?
If Bill Clinton had done the saem thing, this freakin' idiot would praise him for bettering the health of all Americans.
I want a president who is, as the Boy Scout oath says, "physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight".
Give me a president who gets enough rest and exercise, and keeps his mind at its best for the important decision making.
What a contrast from Democrat presidents. Carter and Clinton wowed us with their frat boy all nighters and workaholic hours, and got almost all the important policies wrong.
"I swear, they will take a swipe over anything. What's next? His bedtime? "
Already been done.
Sometimes he runs to keep his promises.

Yup, Karl Rove is a walking advertisement for the Bush administration's commitment to aerobic exercise.
Yes I agree those are some 'issues' but what in the world does that have to do with this article and how ridiculous it is?
Yes, Jonathon Chait, you are. You are "unique", perhaps "obsessed past the point of reason", and mostly, you're just "special" in your own way. We don't hold that against you. Now, go and try to play well with the other children.
LOLOLOLOL!
I agree with you that there are clues from all kinds of things about the person you are planning on hiring, and since you want it to to be a successful long-time relationship, it is your duty to find out what the clues will tell you about how you'll get along or how that person will "fit" in your organization. I've never driven by a prospective employee's house before! Hmmmmmm. I'll have to think that one over.
That was a beautiful story! Thanks for posting that link!
