Naomi Wolf, Rush Limbaugh and "The End of America"

-

Until Tucker Carlson of Fox News resurrected her on this date (Feb 22, 2021) to discuss a book she wrote in 2007, it must have been, what, 5, 10, maybe 15 years since I heard or thought about Naomi Wolf. Ironically, Ms. Wolf originally rose to prominence at a time when Rush Limbaugh was in his meteoric ascendance on Talk Radio, and as I recall he had plenty to say about her "femi-nazi" ways.  This post is not about Rush Limbaugh, but I do wonder if he read Ms. Wolf's "The End of America: A Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot" and, if so, how he received it when it was written, and if, within the past 14 years, he reflected on what she wrote. I can imagine that many conservatives would have rejected out of hand anything she wrote because of her liberal feminist leanings. At the time, the book probably was written off by many as merely Bush-bashing or conservative hating. But after hearing her on Mr. Carlson's show I purchased the e-book version and immediat...

The Hypocrat Party and Trump's 'Loyalty Oaths'

When Did Loyalty Die? The rabid, foaming-at-the-mouth dogs of the Hypocrat party, forever looking for someone to attack and infect with their deadly political doctrines, lately have taken to the streets to slobber about President Trump's alleged demand that his Cabinet members, political appointees and other government employees under the purview of the Executive branch, should be loyal to their God, to their constitution, to their country, to their office, to their boss and co-workers, to their constituents whom they serve, to their military service and to the dreams and ideals upon which the United States was founded, and to which the Republic owes its survival. For the vast majority of the history of the United States, Loyalty was not a bad thing. Like military service, going to church, being a boy or girl scout, honoring your parents, good manners, politeness, honesty and a host of other desirable ideals and behaviors, Loyalty was and is considered a good thing. But the Hypocra...

The Insanity of Electronic Surveillance of Home Workers

Some background first.  I am retired (from the "regular" workforce) after 38 years in HR management. While my retirement occurred prior to the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, I had some experience with remote working pre-Covid, and vicarious experience through my wife's remote working during Covid. Allow me to say, then, that I don't think the surveillance issue has so much to do with where the employee does his/her work. I believe it has mostly to do with how the employee's supervisor or manager does his/her work. As I read about and reflect on the burgeoning employer practice of WFH surveillance of employees I am disturbed but not surprised by the knee-jerk panic of some managers who are afraid they suddenly are going to be taken advantage of by people working from home. I suspect those same managers already were taken advantage of by the same employees who formerly worked in cubicles within the manager's line-of-sight.  Surveillance Did Not Work Before...
