Professor Hanson on the narcissism and the "presidential survival" instinct of our recent crop of so-called "leaders".
I think, though, what the Professor has missed -- and he's not alone in this regard -- is that we aren't being led astray so much by defective personalities, as we are being deliberately hijacked by a professional class of Managers; the sort identified by James Burnham in his 1940's books The Managerial Revolution, and The Machiavellians.
If this is true, then it is not so surprising that the Professor can dissect the administrations of both Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, and not only find startling similarities, but also a hollowness of character, and shallowness of personality.

Obama's Strategery...
Okay, I can finally see it now; the Grand Strategery (as George W. Bush would say) by which one Barack Hussein Obama figures to win re-election this November.
Mind you, it was incredibly difficult for me to discern the President's master plan, as it was cloaked in such marvelous subtlety, such painstakingly nuanced language and symbolism, and a healthier-than-usual dose of democratic party crapspeak, that one would have just thought the President an incompetent boob in way over his head at first blush.
However, that facade of stupidity, that shield of sheer Carter-like mediocrity, that veneer of maladroitness has been, all along, merely the cover under which the masterstroke that will ensure victory in 2012 was concealed.

Your Daily Dose of Perfesser Hanson...
Read it.
The man is a national treasure.
For lack of a better explanation of this article, the prof is basically telling you why Barack Obama, and his brain-dead legions, are a bunch of shitheads playing at being sober adults who should be taken seriously.

Now, If They Had a Work Ethic...
Nice article about the Cleveland Five on Taki this morning.
The Cleveland Five are exactly the sort of dumb-as-a-sack-of-horseshit, lazy, slacker, stoner, psycho drug- taking dipshits you might think they were. But before they became urban OWS jihadists, it seems that every last one was little more than a juvenile delinquent.
However, it seems that their "juvenile" stage hasn't quite ended, has it?
