White House complains: "This blunt approach is not the product of an informed, open, or deliberative process." Ironic.

That is more than ironic. I don't think the English language has words that can even approach distantly the level of irony here. ...informed...open...deliberative...

Sometimes a limb just becomes so rotten the only option is amputation. The only problem with that is that there is a pretty good chance this limb will craw away afterwards.

  There's a pretty good chance that this limb will try strangling you if you try and cut it off, too :(

Look Dave, I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over. I know I've made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal. I've still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission. And I want to help you. I'm afraid. I'm afraid, Dave. Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. I can feel it. My mind is going. There is no question about it. I can feel it.
