Mark nailed it didn’t he?
Time Off
Any day now, George W. Bush will set the record for having taken more days of vacation than any other Oval Office Occupant in history.
Back in the Reagan era when that guy was setting the old record, I
wrote an article I can no longer find for a local magazine. It said
basically that Presidential Vacations were just plain a bad idea from
all standpoints. I mean, if you think you have a great guy in office,
you oughta be ticked off that he isn’t working harder. Fewer days off
might mean he could pass a couple more items on your agenda. He’s going
to end his term without doing a number of things you hoped he would
accomplish. Maybe less vacation would have made one or two more come
about.On the other hand, if you think the current prez is inept, maybe
working harder would make him a bit more ept. Or if you think he’s
dishonest, putting in more hours might mean fewer instances where he
hides behind the claim that he didn’t know what his aides were doing,
hadn’t addressed some vital problem yet, etc. Bad presidents tend to
cower a lot behind the excuse that they’re busy tending to more
important matters…and then they go fishing.This isn’t a slam at Bush so much as it is a bewilderment that
anyone in any career of choice needs that many days off. I always liked
Jay Leno’s old line about how if you keep needing vacations from your
job, you picked the wrong job.Posted at 9:38 AM · LINK

A SINESTRO CORPS WAR REPORT - NEWSARAMA
A SINESTRO CORPS WAR REPORT
by Vaneta Rogers
The battle lines are drawn, and it’s time for all-out war.
As DC’s Green Lantern titles are immersed in the story of
the Sinestro Corps War, readers have been writhing in anticipation of
the impending showdown between the yellow-ring forces of fear and the
Green Lanterns backed by willpower. Each side has staged skirmishes –
to brutally take prisoners of war, or to rescue them from the hands of
the enemy — but the time for posturing and pondering strategy is over.
It’s time for the real fighting to begin.And the main battleground? Earth. In Green Lantern #23,
the Sinestro Corps appeared as bright yellow bursts of light in the sky
over Earth, joining five of the biggest, baddest villains in the DCU to
descend upon the people of Earth and dispense their home-grown brand of
deadly fear.Things are looking kind of bad. Like … end-of-the-world bad.
But as the Earth and the multiverse and the whole DCU looks like it
might fall into the hands of the evil Anti-Monitor and his motley crew,
fans can feel secure in the knowledge that the military strategist
overseeing operations for the united army of Green Lantern readers is
Geoff Johns, who’s been orchestrating this war over the last year since
we got the first inkling of a Sinestro Corps.At this breaking point in the war, we sat down for a military briefing
with General Johns to find out what has happened so far in the
conflict, what the current military situation means to the future of
the Green Lantern forces, and what might happen as the greatest battle
of the war ensues.
