Cheater

Posted on March 6, 2003 in Accountability Crosstalk

You have to wonder about what it takes for a man to rise in the military (or any other organization) when you read this story about the coughing fit that helped a British Army major win £250,000 on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?

Some people love the cutters, it seems. How else can we explain what is in the White House.

I need to think about this more. I’ve been flippant so far, but there’s something deeper, something that needs to be said about what we value and what we will do to seize it. (I am thinking of coveted titles such as Major, President, and Millionaire.)

Seized from Jennifer, who has a few choice bits today. Jennifer says that cheaters never prosper. But in my experience, they do.

Unless someone presses the issue.
