When Camelot comes to Canberra

Well, maybe the summit will come up with something.

Rudds use of the phrase 'best and brightest' should make anyone with a sense of history nervous to say the least. It was made famous by the legendary American Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author David Halberstam who used it, ironically, to describe the men who sat at the heart of JFKs Camelot (though it may originally have come from a poem by Shelley).

Kennedy, a generalist himself, wanted to be surrounded by men of unsurpassed expertise.

One of the 'best and brightest' recruited by Kennedy was Robert McNamara, a brilliant young manager from the Ford motor company. He was so good that he became the first President of the company from outside the Ford family. He was skilled at systems analysis and championed an approach to government policy which placed analysis and rationality above other considerations, like political ideals.

DOR BioPharma Reports Achievement Of Two-Year Stability Milestone For ...

DOR BioPharma, Inc. (OTCBB: DORB) announced that it has successfully achieved a two-year milestone in the long-term stability program of the key ingredient of RiVax™, a recombinant subunit vaccine against ricin toxin. RiVax™ is intended to protect against exposure to ricin toxin that might result from the purposeful release of ricin in an aerosolized form, or as a poisonous contaminant in food or water.

The results of the two-year analysis undertaken as part of the formal stability program demonstrate that the immunogen component of RiVax™, a recombinant derivative of the ricin A chain, is stable under storage conditions for at least two years without loss of its natural configuration or the appearance of any detectable degradation products. A vaccine is considered by many to be the best way to prospectively protect populations at risk of exposure against ricin toxin.

Sure, sure, it's all been done before, but now I get to do it. Without further ado, here is my all-name team. 20 - Rod Smart - Who the Hell is Rod Smart you ask? Well he is none other than the fool who called himself "He Hate Me" and pretty much epitomized the debacle that was the XFL. 19. Elbert L. "Ickey" Woods - Running back his entire carreer for the Bengals. Hey, how many guys not named Humpty Hump have a dance named after them. The Ickey Shuffle remains high on the all time celebrations list. 18. "Chocolate Thunder" Darryl Dawkins - Perhaps more appropriate for wrestling or porn, but still has a nice ring to it. 17. "Pistol" Pete Maravich - LSU grad was a known practicioner of yoga, a part time ufologist, and could also play a little basketball. Died of a heart attack in 1988 at a young age.

Enter the dragon

Ah, but it's old," he says. He turns to his chauffeur: "Adam, can you tell us the age of that car?" Soon enough both the Merc and me are put in our place.

That tells us two things about the super-rich. First, they can afford far higher standards than the rest of us. Second, they can outsource any argument to their servants.

But it's the aspiration thing that brings us here today.
