Speechifying

I agree with Barry that this whole "words speak louder than actions" stuff is getting old.

I have no idea how much this is a feature of the Bush administration or how much of it is a feature of our elite class generally, but so often I see the idea expressed that if only we could get the right people into the room and get them to say the right things then ponies would appear.

It's weird.
