It's Not Too Late to Go As Tom Leppert Tonight

• goddamn he's ugly

• That's kind of what I was thinking... the only jobs he can definitively point to are ones that were created with 100% government money (building the bridge, convention center hotel and Museum Tower)--- but now he rails against that stuff. I'm really confused as to how I'm supposed to interpret his message-- it seems to be somewhat contradictory.

• Well, apparently he didn't create any jobs in The Cedars.  I guess he created a lot of construction jobs on goofy bridges and stuff, but that was all with borrowed money.

• When asked to substantiate his claim that he's created jobs, what does Leppert point towards? The relocation of Turner Corp. to Dallas only generated 15 jobs (including his); and those were likely offset by losses at Turner Corp. in New York. Prior to that, he was a senior bank officer at a bank in Hawaii... and prior to that, he spent several years as a consultant at McKinsey. A lot of McKinsey's work revolves around generating efficiencies, and that frequently involves cutting jobs, not creating them.

• Skeletor is SOOO 1980s.
