News out of Washington (much better reported on the Beeb, 'cause all we get told here is that it snowed and the Pope is still dead) is that a fellow by the name of John R. Bolton is undergoing confirmation hearings to be US Ambassador to the UN. Well, at best he's been called a "serial abuser" of his underlings, tends to yell a lot, and has been described as a "kiss-up, kick-down sort of guy." (Quotes from current AP article.)
Now, I've been reading the Left Behind series by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins, which is a delight to Christians and no doubt too long, annoying and secular for others. Most of the first two books concern the author's version of AntiChrist coming to power. They name him Nicolae Carpathia, but the son of Belial (SOB) up for ambassadorship seems to fit all too closely to the pattern described by the Left Behind authors for my liking.
How is it that these horribly bad managers always seem to rise to the top in politics? I guess it's kinda like how the brown poopies float in a cesspool, but it sure does stink mightily from the outside.
Are you aware of or interested in this, Mike?
