  1. Seems an easily excited type. Way too easily excited.

    Not surprising, they're all sociopaths. Well, maybe not all, but most of'em. Okay, a lot of'em.

    Too many?

  3. Stabbing random people on the road is not a threat to Our Democracy™. Walking through an open door and taking selfies in The People's House is.

    Don't know why this is so hard, you wingnuts.

  4. His car was stopped in the road and he was passed out, he woke up and started attacking people.

  5. I've worked in the private sector and for the government (state and federal). There are crazy folks to be found everywhere, but I think the proportion in government is clearly higher. I can definitely say that I met people in government who I believe probably would have been unable to secure long-term employment in the private sector, based on their psychological issues and/or character. There were times, in fact, when I headed up a department of 17 people, that I occasionally felt like the director of Happy Dale.

    The same can be said of academia as well. You wouldn't believe some of the loons I encountered among the faculty of my university.

  7. Very true. I was fortunate in my college days to avoid the absolute worst professors (maybe because I was a finance major); however, I do recall one Spanish teacher, who was involved in some kind of salary dispute, standing outside of the building that housed the Foreign Languages Dept., gesticulating wildly and screaming his head off.

  8. The job I had in the Feddle Gubmint required a clearance. And for some reason these were real clearances, where they actually investigated your background and interviewed your third grade teacher, not whatever process Sam Brinton went through. That alone weeded a lot of questionable people out. Additionally it required some professional certifications, which provided some barrier.

    But now and then somebody would slip through. They were invariably conspicuous... and seldom lasted long because eventually the NCIS investigators stumbled across that one disqualifying datum and - poof! - they were gone.

    I recall once in Sasebo, Japan we received notice to pay one guy off ASAP. Within a day a ship's officer escorted the guy ashore to the fleet landing, where he was met by two NCIS agents who took him to the airport and stuffed him onto a flight back to CONUS. It was like The Last Detail. For whatever reason this person did not pull a Travis King and decamp to North Korea. But that wasn't as easy to do from Fukuoka as it is from Seoul, I guess.

  9. Same experience here, re government vs non-government employees, Paco.
