FDR Gets Me

I posted this quote from my hero, FDR, on Facebook tonight.

"Be sincere; be brief; be seated."
-Franklin D. Roosevelt

It's a cool quote. But that aside, I have earnestly had this very same thought in my head at the preface of every single meeting I have attended in the last 12 months. The difference is, I couldn't articulate this as clearly because, well, I don't want people to think I'm a mean and evil person. And Roosevelt was a Harvard man and clearly more articulate than a pushover hick like me.

Still, I'm not above invoking the rhetoric of superior people like FDR when I need to make a point. So..uh..what's your point?..bitch.
