No Darth Vader, No Master Genius

A few words of wisdom-most are dolts, muddling through. Less government might be a grand idea:

The first step toward fighting government overreach is understanding that government looks a lot more like John Belushi from Animal House running his deathmobile through a panicking crowd while Kevin Bacon shouts “All is well!” than like a well-ordered Easter parade.

Love that!

I found this along those lines:

Two theories about why Steve Bannon midwifed such a bad executive order (https://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2017/01/30/two-theories-about-why-steve-bannon-midwifed-such-a-bad-executive-order/?utm_term=.dbfd36eb595f)


...
So what explains this? I can think of a couple of possibilities. Let’s go from the least to most far-fetched.The most plausible story to assume in this instance is incompetence. Ordinarily, when the federal government does something stupid, it’s best to assume incompetence rather than malevolence. This is Bannon’s first week in a White House job and, like most other really smart people who lack high-level government experience, there will be a lot of rookie mistakes at the outset. The Trump administration will be different from past administrations on a lot of dimensions, but screwing up in the first few months is not one of them. This is particularly true given the abject lack of government experience among Trump’s White House staff. Maybe this is just a case of smart people doing stupid things because they are inexperienced.
The trouble with this explanation is that some very smart people don’t think that this was an accident. Indeed, folks not prone to conspiracy theories see something amiss. ...
