[Political Junkie Too]

Note: quotes a television industry insider's profane language.

I noticed that right off.

I always wonder about the caliber of executive leadership in industries where the top talent resorts to communicating with others that way.

I'd like to think that the leadership in my company is literate enough to be able to express complex thoughts in more acceptable ways.

Maybe it's different in the entertainment industry. Maybe they have to talk that way to be taken seriously by others in the field.

A Christian apologist spoke at a college campus and had a professor introduce himself as the only evangelical Christian in the department. The apologist said, "You should go talk to that professor over there, who just told me the same thing."
