Experience
via The Dilbert Blog by Scott_Adams on February 13, 2008
In the U.S. presidential race, Hillary Clinton is claiming more experience than Obama. I wonder how useful experience is when you are president, given that every situation is completely different from the last.I can see how experience would be useful for just about any other sort of job. If you’re getting a heart bypass, you definitely want the doctor who has done it before. But does experience...

I will Get That Nobel Peace Prize Yet!
via The Dilbert Blog by Scott_Adams on February 15, 2008
Before you say “Someone already did your idea,” I should point out that no one has done it quite the way I’m describing it. What I’d like to see is a pen pal web site designed to end war. The idea would be to connect citizens in different countries at such a high rate it would be politically impossible for the two countries to start a war.You might support your government in a war against...

My Prediction for President
via The Dilbert Blog by Scott_Adams on February 05, 2008
There’s a lot to like about Obama as a candidate for President. The man has gifts; no doubt about it. But the thing that fascinates me most is how hard it is to label him.He’s neither white nor black.He’s neither old nor young.He’s not a southerner or northerner because he grew up in Hawaii.He’s not too left or too right.He’s not too Christian, and even has a Muslim name.He’s not an...

You Had Me at A**hole
via The Dilbert Blog by Scott_Adams on February 26, 2008
I have a new favorite politician. I have no interest in his policy stance or effectiveness, but somehow that doesn’t matter. My new hero is French President Sarkozy.Recently he was making his way through a crowd for some public event and went to shake the hand of a man who said, “Don’t touch me. You’ll make me dirty.” Sarkozy replied, “Then get out of here, you total a**hole.” Some...

Israel Defeats the Entire Middle East
via The Dilbert Blog by Scott_Adams on May 01, 2008
Yesterday I had one of those oh-my-God moments, the kind where I thought I could see the future. It started by reading some articles about the lack of a serious energy policy in the United States. The problem is that our politicians believe, probably correctly, that they can’t get elected if they propose an energy policy that could work.Then I stumbled across an article about two Israeli...

The Economics Party
via The Dilbert Blog by Scott_Adams on May 07, 2008
My jaw dropped when I heard that presidential candidate Clinton dismissed the unified opinion of every economist on the planet and supported the gas tax rebate. The rebate is John McCain’s proposal. I think that proves both of them are unqualified to be president. Obama isn’t much better when it comes to sorting out economic policy from pandering, although he did avoid that particular...

Death by Media
via The Dilbert Blog by Scott_Adams on January 23, 2008
In 1997 The Dilbert Future was published. One of my predictions was that the media would start killing celebrities just to generate new sensational headlines. I based this prediction on three inescapable truths:1. The media can influence people’s actions2. Death is the most interesting form of news3. The news business is a capitalist enterpriseTherefore, it makes sense that the media would...

Two States (as in conditions)
via The Dilbert Blog by Scott_Adams on February 06, 2008
David Letterman does a Top Ten list that always seems to be funny. As a professional humorist, I’m interested in what I guess you could call joke architecture. There is something about the form, or architecture, of the top ten list that makes it easy to be funny. I’m always trying to spot other setups that have that same quality. I think I found another, but you have to help me test it.A...

Better Light Switches
via The Dilbert Blog by Scott_Adams on February 12, 2008
I have noticed that the person living in a household who pays the energy bills is the only one interested in turning off the lights when leaving a room. Given human nature, this is unlikely to change. That’s why I have two inventions to close the gap.The first invention is the Whole House Light Switch. It’s located by the inner door to the garage. When you are heading toward the car with the...

Ultimate House Design
via The Dilbert Blog by Scott_Adams on February 14, 2008
I wonder if there is one ultimate floor plan that would satisfy 90% of all homeowners. As you know, must houses are laid out inconveniently. You have your “never use” rooms by the front door, your laundry room on a different floor from the bedrooms, and your dining room down the hall from your kitchen. Crazy.So I’ve been thinking about a better design, conceptually. I don’t have the...
