"He's a real Dick Cheney" |
|
"I mean, you've got a situation now where, you know, in workplaces across America, if somebody says, He's a real Dick Cheney, what they mean is, a guy who sounds like he has a lot of gravitas in those meetings at your company, and looks the part, but is actually, you know, kind of full of it and can't get the job done when it comes to making a profit."
"And so that's where these guys are now. Their credibility for getting the job done has been eroded, I think largely because they surround themselves with these yes-men, the truth doesn't get up the chain of command, as we saw with these trailers. So they—because people feel like if they tell them the truth, they're just going to get their heads bitten off. And as a result, your batting average on decisions goes down, down, down, your competence level goes down, down, down, because you're not making well-informed decisions." http://www.crooksandliars.com/2006/04/13.html#a7902

If there isn't one, there should be!

6. Given the modern slang, "Dick Cheney" translates to "Penis Fuck" |

8. greed is a flawed motivator |
|
it causes terrible decisions. That's why corporations will fail in their attempt to control the planet. They'll collapse under the weight of their own corruption.
the oil barons who seized our government are among the most greed-driven scum our scum-producing "culture" can create.
