WorldNetDaily Watch

My father-in-law sent me this story from WorldNetDaily.

My favorite quote from the article:

Brendan Daly, speaking for Pelosi, told Associated Press that Pelosi was
reluctant to weigh in on the incident without knowing that such a message
would do more good, than harm.
Apparently, that's the measure of Democrat courage to stand up for what's
right: do nothing if they aren't first assured of the outcome.

You see, in a "9/12" world, consequences don't matter. Why think about your actions before you do them, so long as you know that your actions are in step with your ideology? When the write showed the "measure of Democrat courage", she was also confirming that the measure of current Republican courage is doing whatever you want and fuck the consequences.




I understand that being a leader involves making hard decisions when you don't have all the information, but often, the right thing to do is recognizing what your gut is telling you to do, but choosing the path with fewer extremes in possible outcomes.


To give a poker analogy, if you bet your whole stack on a 51-49 proposition, you are technically doing the "right thing", but damn, you're going to have a whole lot of variance. When you have a slight edge, but losing will mean losing your whole bankroll, sometimes it is just better to toss the hand and wait for another opportunity where the outcome is has either greater probability of success, or less devastation in loss.
