I was just thinking that SFT's recent behavior (including today's testimony) goes to show that it's bad policy to hire your buddies to advise you. Yet another level of incompetent leadership. Sure, plenty of people in high places get away with not having top-notch leadership skills because their actions are constantly checked by people who are pretty savvied. Having a gang of "yes men" might be fun and make you feel good, but it sure dosen't help in a situation when somebody ought to say "let's not do that." I guess that it's common knowledge that some people think that they can do no wrong.... and then they really f*** up a situation.
Sorry if this seems random, but I just felt like a ramble.
