See Saturday's QC Times for a picture of Pat O'Brien and Obama on the front page!!!
Here's the link to the article.
I get your point, though your comments here should be directed to all, not specifically to me unless you're responding directly to a comment of mine.
But your analogy is a little faulty, don't you think? Having a legacy help you get a brutally boring and perhaps dangerous and dirty job in the shops is a bit different than having your Dad put you in a position where you're representing the fortunes of hundreds of thousands of people.
The shop worker's dad gets him a job grinding burrs off of castings and Mikes' Dad gets him a job as State Senator and you're making an analogy?? Please.
Mike has to go eat $150 dinners and have people kiss his ass, and he has to work part time. The shop worker has to punch a clock every morning and get punished if he's a little late, have foremen and the company constantly watching his production and every move and expecting more and more production from less and less people.
His job is soul-deadening after several years, as I suppose being State Senator can potentially be too.
But there the analogy stops.
But Jacobs was installed in time for him to frantically get his name out there every time he sneezes and to build up a massive campaign fund. Otherwise, your comment about him having to run for office every now and then would be valid.
Sure, he has to run, and has to do humiliating and sometimes dumb things in the process. But being installed at the time he was ensures that no one really has a serious chance to defeat him.
Of course, as I've noted, Jacobs has every chance of defeating himself, but otherwise, the election is just a formality.
Well, the grade level is about right at least. As to what the rest is supposed to mean, I haven't a clue. Anyone care to interpret?
It can't be Sen. Jacobs because his mother must have told him to do as well as he can, and spend the rest of his time attacking anyone who finds fault with anything he does or says, even if they're true and correct, and smearing potential rivals by any way imaginable. The fairy tale left that part out.
Tom,
your comment is stupid. getting a job as state senator and factory are the same BS!!! we are supposed to vote in our leaders...not the men/women who work in factories...that is the major difference...we are suppose to VOTE...not let the good old boys appoint.
In the world of propaganda they call this "Questionable Analogy".
Just a ridiculous post Tom.
I won't argue that Tom Benson is pretty dumb..... what a dumb analogy. How in the heck he ever passed the bar exam is beyond me.... wow!!
If he wants to be in politics, he better take a few lessons or just accept the punishment.
