do demons dream of demon sheep?

Having seen the Carly Fiorina ad, I really hope she gets the GOP bid, if only so that she can continue making seriously messed-up campaigns.

Here's what gets me about her. To some extent, running a government is like running a business, but I'm not sure whether its a lot like a business or not at all like running a business. If its not like running a business, her years of experience at HP are irrelevant, and might be a hindrance. If government is a lot like running a business, then she's clearly not the person for the job, considering that business magazines, the people who know business best, say she was never doing a good job.

I'm not persuaded by the idea that government is run badly already, so there is no reason why we shouldn't let her get a chance to reel things in. It's a bit like saying 'yeah, Laurel and Hardy ruined your house, but I know these three stooges, and maybe we should let them have a go at it.'

  1. True, but with all of the fiscal issues facing our infrastructure isn't it plausible that government SHOULD be run more like a business?
