A dude with a shotgun rack in the back window of his pick-up truck is pretty darn stylish. When he driving to his manicurist, thats somthing else.

simple thoughts.

The greatest leaders in history are remembered best for their simplest and clearest thoughts. Thoughts - communicated using declaritive sentences. Example: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
There are those who do stuff and there are those who read about what others have done. Executive summaries are for those who do stuff.
We like the pictures, bullet points and creative screen transitions. If you want to keep our attention during a presentation, you have to know power point.

a size queen aesthetic featuring penises---lots of penises----but deployed in a powerful way, not inviting of undue attention.

A real man either has a big penis or he compensates for it, not both. A real man who has a big penis or is able to compensate for a small one doesn't care about "penises", only his. Perhaps the observations here about Crichton is correct.

a good summary is that great conservative adventure novel called "the war in iraq": a potboiler plotline, cursory attention to structure, lots of blood and guts, no idea how to end the story.

It will end in victory.
