That's me being lazy

What a week so far. I've not been busy as it may seem just plain lazy in getting anything here. Karl Rove is leaving, the stock market globally is experiencing a plunge

Politics to me is like a bad habit that seems to entice one although you know eventually you will be disappointed (sorry I meant it is like forbidden love!). I must confess that Karl Rove to me is for the time being still a genius. He pulled an unpopular president through the elections - love him or hate him he did what he had to do if we are to look at it from a narrow perspective.

But it also brings up a side I do not like about the so-called analysts appearing on TV - they are not telling me anything new. In fact it is sad to just seat back and analyse other people going about their business. Yes the president's legacy looks like a lost cause but the man used whatever means available to deliver victory (He should be in business with that kind of skill - dissecting markets and concentrating on ones strength - that is how I see it.

For that reason I have to give it up to the boy genius. So I think (it is there right too) most of these so called analysts have lost it. I wouldn't be surprised if the Democrats blow this one up by losing the vision. Remember J.Kerry?

I topic widely discussed during my days in the Uni was why academics never seem to 'make it' in business - I'm not sure we came up with solutions to the problem but it is common knowledge that we go to school so that we can manage businesses of those who skipped school! Actually someone accused me of being too negative. The problem was that we were discussing a business venture and it seemed to the other guys that I was simply criticising (the accusation in my opinion - quite unfair!). I thought I was merely voicing concerns - issues we had to think more about.

Mr Rove did his thing he's gone the analysts have taken over - I can't wait to see how many books are coming up on this guy. I just can't wait. In the meantime I better forget what others are doing - they are getting paid.
