TVNL Editor's Comments: Oh, So Bush is the Commander in Chief? I Did Not Realize That! Thanks for Telling Me...AGAIN!

In a past life I was a highly regarded business professional and my advice was sought on the most complex managerial issues, especially those related to employee relations. One of the main points I tried to explain to people is that there is a difference between management and leadership. You can teach someone to be a manager but leadership is a quality; it can not be taught. You can teach leadership skills to a leader but you can not make leader out of someone who is not, especially if their primary interest in leadership is to have power and be the boss. It's like comedy; being funny is a quality not a skill. If you don't have comedic qualities you can learn all the jokes in the world and you still won't be funny.

An important point I would make when priming new first time managers is that the first time that they have to tell their staff that they are the boss, they lost. I told them to pack up and go home. Nothing exhibits incompetence and weakness more than someone who has to tell you that they are your boss. You can smell leadership. You can sense it without a sentence being uttered. Having to say it only serves to prove that it is not obvious. What does that say to you?

Did you ever dance with anyone who could not dance? Were you ever in a situation where you wittiness that person telling everyone around them how wonderful he or she dances? Well count the number of times over the past seven nightmare years that George W. Bush has had to tell us that he is the Commander in Chief or the President. Sorry George...but I've seen you dance already. You can stop telling me now. Think about it! Jesse Richard – Editor, TvNewsLIES.org

New Laws Of Physics Noted In WTC Fires And Ignored - Basic logic/physics/fire prevention predicts that covering a fire with dirt puts out the fire by cutting the supply of oxygen. Based on the evidence and experience Dr. Cahill states several times that the WTC pile is 'Oxygen Poor', notes Anaerobic = without oxygen insights, AND 'Chlorine Rich = LARGE amounts of Chlorine. Hmm, oxygen poor that doesn't sound like a good mix for a 'fire' that is going to be so hot it makes molten metal - most likely scenerio - steel (complete BS even in a real fire).

What the ‘DC Madam’ was doing on 9/11 - For the record, it must be emphasized here that the two premier concerns for any journalist, looking at these records, should be those of most importance for the public: 1) potential breach of security; and 2) potential conflict of interest.

Jewish Peace Activist - Don't Fear 'Anti-Semite' Label - "To our Christian sisters and brothers I say - do not, out of a sense of guilt for anti-Semitism, give the Jewish people a free pass. Do not confuse anti-Semitism with critique of Israel, and in so doing fail to hold Jews accountable for our choices and our actions, as members of the human community, as individuals, and as a nation state -- especially as a nation state. To make this mistake, to allow yourselves to be - I will use the word - bullied by the threat of the charge of anti-Semitism, is to commit a pernicious fallacy." - Mark Braverman
