Surprise, Surprise
Sometimes when I read the Sunday LA Times, all I can say is "What a world." Today I'm saying "Surprise, Surprise."
When Condoleeza Rice was provost at Stanford University, she was well known for actively stifling any dissent among staff and faculty. Marsh McCall, who is a professor of classics and who served as the dean of adult education and dean of summer session, was called to Rice's office after criticizing a university ad campaign. Ms. Rice told Mr. McCall "Either you're a member of the team, or you're not a member of the team." Where have I heard that one before?
The other "surprise" is that Newt Gingrich is fully rehabilitated and is once again a formidable power in the GOP. He may actually consider a run for the presidency in 2008. Of course, compared to guys like Dennis Hastert and Tom DeLay, Gingrich looks like Winston Churchill. Dammit.

Last thing you want is independent thought from a subordinate, right?
