Executive Order 12919 has the world wondering. Is this some re-election twist or real update. The Order simplifies a president's stress testing of government and industry.
Clinton's safeguards were enhances and once again a modernday leader relied steadfastly on our Declaration of Independence, ...with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.. Excellent.
The peace-time war games may highlight a Katrina event or an industry our nation no longer hosts but needs. These are all great concepts. This and the last administration rose to meet this Great Recession. E.O. 12919 will keep future administrations ready, even if that means some will not get a paycheck.
(03/23/2012)Update: Boss Background
In Miami-Dade County it was customary to refer to a President as Boss. An example, "Hey the Boss is in town, overtime," Often, for many it meant, mow the grass, trim the hedges... President Obama is not my boss, nor does he hold any type of sway over editorial decisions. Sorry Boss.

Shame On You Football Fans
Fixing our nation's football obsession will not be easy. From bounty systems to college kids over-celebrations, the problems are systemic. Those problems may take away a region's pride in the midst of one more rebuilding -very bad- and could take down university presidents.
Players associations have given more than lip service to addressing the issues, however, these problems are fan based. Owners understand -Pleasing the fans keep the seats filled.
When a college player receives a game ending injury, the old colleges-are-farm-teams argument is brought out. Most fail to mention the pros do not share in the collage football's money pot. The NFL could buy insurance for collage players.
Do not pretend to follow the sport. I can say I would enjoy watching a Gators, Bulldog game. The best football -I remember- is Notre Dame, Miami.
I would point to a slightly different approach: The collage team finishing first each year, loses 10 scholarships, ninth loses nine... Football gave kids with no chance of ever getting an education, a real education (loans were few back then). The actions reported by the NFL on the field would turn the game into a blood sport, not a good family image. Sports in high schools, collages are about coaching kids to be their best, it may work.
Note:
I do not cover sports. I do regularly slam the University of Miami, they worked very hard for that spot, however, too many very good football players decided not to attend college because they were offered... to play football. Those players loved the game and would positively impact our economy.
