Positive Psychology

This is inspired by the recent Houellebecq discussion. In sum, and in further praise of Houellebecq, I believe he is at least aware of the cutting edge of psychological thought, and incorporated it into “The Possiblity of an Island.”

Politics as Usual-Bush Style

Dear Mr. Kalb,

There was a recent disclosure of the loss of an infamous laptop containing too much information about veterans. The Top Boss did a backflip and issued political edicts such as “do not take work home,” all to protect veterans … if one can even grasp such an idea.

Background: this moron had previously required every one of our dear veterans’ facilities to replace, in one day, his predecessor’s photograph with his photograph. Like anyone cared about his visage.

Although the laptop was found, the delight was unappreciated by Fearless Leader. Instead, he canned the Agency’s excellent top attorney for giving (prior to FL’s appointment) legal opinions that the information technology system could not be centralized under existing law. Like, what possible personal interest could a lawyer have had in a bureauratic event?
