Dozing in a Catholic school little Grace was not the best student. Usually she slept through her classes. One day the Nun called on her while she was napping and said, "Tell me, Grace; who created the universe?" When Grace didn't stir, little Johnny, seated in the chair behind her, took a pencil and jabbed her in the rear. "God Almighty!" shouted Grace, and the Nun said, "Very good". Soon Grace fell back asleep. A while later the Nun called on Grace and asked, "Who is our Lord and Savior?" But, Grace didn't even stir from her slumber. Once again, Little Johnny came to the rescue and stuck her with his pencil. "Jesus Christ!" shouted Grace and the Nun said "Very Good" and Grace sat back down and started to fall back asleep. Then the Nun asked Grace a third question. "What did Eve say to Adam after she had her twenty-third child?" This time Grace was just awake enough to hear the question - and she knew what was coming, so she jumped up and shouted, "If you stick that damn thing in me one more time, I'll break it in half!" The Nun fainted. CC (someone posted this, and I had to copy it here...)

a topic I've worked with and experienced first hand. You seem to refer to the Peter Principal which is not exclusive to government, but to any large and stable organization. The malfeasance of which I write follows the neocons. It is not just inefficiency or laziness. They bring organizations to "hair on fire" levels of crisis and then call for significant change which leaves their most loyal supporters in influential positions in the new bureacracy. TP
