Motivation, Republican Style?

Good lord, the advertisements for the Get Motivated seminar being led by Zig Ziglar and his merry band of Republican success jesters will not be missed by me now that today is the day of the right-wing motivational circle jerk.
Hmm, the success strategy of Steve Forboes? Being born into the Forbes family; I guess I would rather be "unmotivated" than follow in the footsteps, philosophically or otherwise, of the likes of Forbes, Rudy Giuliani or Colin "What My Lai problem?" Powell. And Dr. Robert Schuller is "America's best motivational speaker?" Need I say more?
And oh, yay, there will be major traffic problems downtown this morning; another thing to look forward to on a hot day.
