You may have noticed my dad has become one of my most common commenters. One of his mantras has always been, “Think!” It sounds so simple, but it is really rare. So many people just don’t take the time to think things through and end up making poor decisions.

In the current political climate this is especially true. Be it McCain’s “reaching across the aisle”, Obama’s “change and hope”, or Clinton’s… well, just about anything Clinton says; all these things sound great on the surface, but if you scratch just a little deeper you’ll find huge, gaping holes in their “plans”.

Which brings us to this week’s white board quip from that venerable skeptic Scott Adams (creator of Dilbert).

That sounds entirely reasonable, at least until you think about it.
