Notes from Washington DC

---

• If it's worth fighting for, it's worth fighting dirty for.
• Don't lie, cheat or steal unnecessarily.
• There is always one more son of a bitch than you counted on.
• An honest answer can get you into a lot of trouble.
• The facts, although interesting, are irrelevant.
• Chicken Little only has to be right once.
• "NO" is only an interim response.
• You can't kill a bad idea.
• If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you ever tried.
• The truth is a variable.
• A porcupine with his quills down in just another fat rodent.
• You can agree with any concept or notional future option, in principle, but fight implementation every step of the way.
• A promise is not a guarantee.
• If you can't counter the argument, leave the meeting.
