Larry, you’ve brought up an excellent point. I think we should all be able to identify henchmen, toadies, cronies and minions. You know, they don’t wear shirts clearly identifying themselves like they did when Batman was on television. I think the government should publish some sort of document that helps all of us identify and distinguish between henchmen, toadies, cronies and minions.

Ok so far, I guess. At least Jones looks like he’s filling positions—instead of forming a squad of henchmen. Just my opinion.

RED FLAG: Worked for the NAACP!!! We all know what an outstanding, efficient, well oiled machine the NAACP is with their finances. MEMO TO THE MAYOR: Keep her away from an unlocked cash register and the receipt book. I’m telling you, you’ll regret it.
Seriously, the NAACP is notorious for poor book keeping, financial mismanagement and violating just about every principle of GAAP. I know, I used to be a member.
