They just want someone to come bail them out of credit-card debt and freeze the mortgage rate on their McMansions so they can load up on more cheap goods and borrow more cash.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28220200.post-53030899181172989982008-01-16T10:46:00.000-07:002008-01-16T10:46:00.000-07:00..."Now I think I'm going down to the well tonight......<BR/>"Now I think I'm going down to the well tonight<BR/>and I'm going to drink till I get my fill<BR/>And I hope when I get old I don't sit around thinking about it<BR/>but I probably will<BR/>Yeah, just sitting back trying to recapture<BR/>a little of the glory of, well time slips away<BR/>and leaves you with nothing mister but boring stories of glory days<BR/><BR/>Glory days well they'll pass you by<BR/>Glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye<BR/>Glory days, glory days"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28220200.post-89893611098674887102008-01-15T22:39:00.000-07:002008-01-15T22:39:00.000-07:00"Anastasio advocated a model akin to the Cold War ..."Anastasio advocated a model akin to the Cold War era, where policymakers would decide security goals and then trust and fund scientists to develop solutions to meet those goals."<BR/><BR/>Get real, Mike. Those days are long over. Mike is living in the past. No one is going to dump big bags of cash on LANL and then let the scientists use the money to come up with "the next big thing". <BR/><BR/>Like the old pits and dusty nukes they help manage, many of the managers at LANL are still living in the fantasy dream of the Cold War era. <BR/><BR/>It's time to wake up and face the realities of America in the 21st century and make the best of it. Most of the other DOE labs have already made this transition, yet LANL persists in desperately trying to hold on to the glories of a past era.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
