It’s been a running tradition of mine to write down the top five “Things I learned” on my whiteboard at work the last week of the year. Well this year my whiteboard is being used for other things (conversion QQ) so I am forced to use alternative measures. Therefore, without further ado, the top five Things I Learned in 2008:
5) The iPhone really is that great.
4) Super-majorities are over-rated
3) One Cup > 0-16
2) Huge, under-supervised bailouts for mismanaged financial giants = appropriate use of taxpayer funds. Huge under-supervised bailouts for mismanaged manufacturing giants = wasteful spending.
1) YES WE CAN!!

I feel very strongly that there are moments in history when remarkable people step up and do remarkable things.

So McCain has decided to hold the debate after all. Despite the fact that we’re nowhere near an agreement on this bailout deal. And to top it all off, report out of the negotiations yesterday suggest that McCain barely said a word throughout the entire proceedings. Exacty the sort of tough leadership the country needs in this time of crisis. It’s like the Bard said:
“…it’is a tale/told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,/signifying nothing.”
