I remember Warriors of Virtue. Barely.

I have it on Laserdisc, and there’s a preservation project going on somewhere. Need to find out what’s going on with that.

I’d be interested in it.

It turns out that if someone fires people so frequently it becomes their tagline, it may just be because they make really crappy personnel decisions. Who knew?

Maybe the person making the crappy personnel decisions should be fired.

Best bit from that article:

Under Secretary Steve Goldstein said: “The Secretary had every intention of staying because of the critical progress made in national security.”

Mr Goldstein himself was fired later on Tuesday by the White House.

WSJ, this is just nuts. It’s really hard to take politics seriously these days.

Within the hour, the State Department issued a statement insisting that Tillerson “had every intention of remaining” and “did not speak to the President this morning and is unaware of the reason.” CNN reported that Tillerson had received a call from White House Chief of Staff John Kelly on Friday night indicating that he would be replaced that did not specify timing; a senior White House official told the network that it was Trump himself who had suddenly decided to pull the trigger on Tuesday morning. Tillerson learned of his actual firing the same way everybody else did: By reading about it on Twitter shortly after 8:44 a.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday, March 13.

A lot turns on that timing. On March 12, Tillerson had backed the British government’s accusation that Russia was culpable for a nerve-agent attack on United Kingdom soil. If Tillerson had been fired March 9, then his words of support for Britain could not explain his firing three days before. But if the White House was lying about the timing, it could be lying about the motive.

And since it now seems all but certain that the White House was lying about the timing, it looks more probable that it was lying about the motive too.
