Firing the Inept at the Top

Now that the President has fired the head of General Motors and threatens to fire others as a matter of policy, can we get the city manager fired? Better yet, can we get the syndicate fired? The public works director? For after all, they have proportionately done more economic and environmental damage that 1,000 General Motors.

Or, how about taking Ann Coulter's suggestion:

When is the government going to get around to firing 99 percent of public school superintendents? They're clearly turning out an inferior product -- i.e., America's public school graduates -- as compared to some of the foreign models now available.

[A] New York court ruled that graduates of New York City's public schools did not have the skills to be "capable of voting and serving on a jury." (Worse, some kids coming out of New York high schools are so stupid they don't even know how to get out of jury duty.)

Lesson: the new modality in America is to fire those that actually produce something, and keep those that are destructive. Perfect.
