Hail and Farewell Helen Jones-Kelly. The Director of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services who snooped on Joe Wurzelbacher resigns.

I deleted your comment daledog. The actions of Ms. Jones-Kelly are completely unrelated as to whether she was qualified or unqualified to perform her job.

Donald,
I don’t mind being deleted. In years of posting, this has been my first. However, do not actions Ms. Jones-Kelley absolutely point to the fact that she was unqualified for the job?
Eric,
Two things:
1. Waaah.
2. I don’t expect any post of mine to ‘solve’ anything. Silly.
No daledog it does not . She may be perfectly qualified to perform her duties, I do not know. Her failing was a moral one. Now it could be argued that someone who engages in immoral conduct in a position of public trust is thereby unqalified to hold that position, but no test known to man can determine, unfortunately, who will betray a public trust. If there were such a test, I suspect that many politicians and political appointees would swiftly be finding new lines of employment.
“Are there really any other generals worth mentioning?”
As my brother used to say when discussing the Civil War with fellow Army officers from the South: “In Illinois we heard that one of our local boys from Galena won a battle or two. I think his name was Grant?”

I’ve heard of him. Usually when Lee was having a bad day. 🙂
Correct Phillip! One of my favorite generals of the Late Unpleasantness, and vastly underated in my opinion. He will be the subject of a future post by me. The warm glow of victory goes to you today.

I shall add the warm glow I feel from this victory and add it to the joy of Christmas.
Christmas comes a little early.
That is exactly how I felt on hearing this news Phillip.
Is that picture Stonewall Jackson?
Right war Phillip, wrong general.
I find that offensive, daledog. Are comments like that reflective of basic Christian charity? What exactly does it solve?
Nice intervention, Eric!
Who’s Joe the Plumber, btw?

Mark,
Where’s your pic of your little sausage dog?
Oh, sorry!
Up in the right hand corner…
Donald,
Then which general?
That would be telling Phillip! If the correct general is guessed I will confirm it.
You have set added work upon a busy day. Evil man. But off on my given task I go.
You are a good sport Phillip! Here is a clue: the general was a convert to the Faith.
I spent too many years in the Navy to refuse a task. The tip I hope will help.
The only convert Confederate general I can find at this point is Longstreet. Do I win the prize?
No. Why restrict yourself to Confederate generals?
Are there really any other generals worth mentioning? But will expand the search for Union (ahem) generals.

How about William S. Rosecrans?
Correct Phillip! One of my favorite generals of the Late Unpleasantness, and vastly underated in my opinion. He will be the subject of a future post by me. The warm glow of victory goes to you today.

A Merry Christmas to you and yours
A very Merry Christmas Phillip and a happy new year.
