This would give me a chance to use the Chuck Hagel category on my blog page. A category is those tiny blue things between the headline and the body of the post. Tacked on at their end is the comment access point, which one clicks if one is to make a comment. I’m glad I didn’t exterminate that one when I cleaned up my list last summer… I remember thinking, “wonder if we’ll ever hear from him again?”
It was for him I also created the “an actual good Republican” category… That is one that rarely gets used.
I appreciated Chuck Hagel because he didn’t give a rats ass about what a Republican was supposed to do, or what a Democrat was supposed to do… He just did it.
Midwestern common sense. We can use more of that.

When a President has good common sense, he appoints people with good common sense, who will lead people, by using their good common sense to hopefully spread good common sense.
Trickle down of wealth didn’t work, as wealth got hijacked along the way. Perhaps the military will see that good common sense will trickle down to common senseless men around the world.

it does, unless the common sense person picked by the president, picks his subordinates based on common sense, and those subordinates pick theirs as well. Imperfection is always part of any equation. Practical minded people are always required to tweak the bits of theory that never work….
