WE HAVE SEEN HIS STAR IN THE EAST: Fred Clark at Slacktivist has noted that General Tommy Franks is making motivational speeches:

Local business leaders have apparently been sitting around in their chambers of commerce wondering, "How can I make my business more of an insoluble quagmire?" Or "In today's competitive marketplace, how can our company create a situation in which we can never win and never leave?"

Laugh at it all at "Get Motivated". Discussion: does this confirm or disprove Fitzgerald's observation "There are no second acts in American lives"?
