    Wes Clark: SecDef - Agreed

    Paul Krugman: Secretary of the Treasury - I think he goes with Volcker

    I can only assume the ones I deleted were your attempt at humor.

    They use mean annual and five year means in trend analysis. Don't tell me I have to explain the difference to you. "

    I thought Krugman and Bono were also sad attempts at humor.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
    - -- Aristotle

    I wasn't sure on those two if he was "kidding" or not. Keep in mind this is Gumby...King of morons.
