Just when they had us somewhat believing that there is no central command, no tinfoil hub that spews out marching orders. Brian Fraley and Owen Robinson apparently got their signals crossed as they posted, independently of each other, and one day apart, the same piece word-for-word regarding Barack Obama's new website.

I was reading through Barrack Obama’s website to see his policy positions. He’s been touting lately that he has detailed policy positions posted on his website. He doesn’t really. He says things like he’ll create a “living wage” but fails to say what that would be. Anyway, there’s plenty to pick on, but this one made me laugh out loud.

Really? I see companies every day trying to figure out how to offer flexible work schedules, enable home workers, and the like. It allows companies to access a wider labor pool. Most private companies get this issue and are doing everything they can do, within the confines of the needs of the business, to attract and retain good employees even if they can’t work a traditional work schedule.
