Subject: The origins of poor excuses!

Mr. O'Reilly,

Your consistency is pretty remarkable. You score in my book a 9 out of 10. Either you are genuinely enlightened or you have, like I had working for me, an outstanding staff that makes you look good in which case you need to take very good care of them, parent them the same way you would have your children parent you and/or you have a very soft spoken agent whispering in your ear. You were wrong, though, when you said tonight, "...[It was] the kids who used to make up the excuses." Children learn such behavior from their parents who tolerate their own hypocrisy.

We need to empower the children so that they can parent their parents who need the most encouragement to retire as quickly as possible to the sideline where they can take the deep breaths needed to protect the family name and legacy; at a minimum making certain that they stay out of the way, poor excuses to boot...---... back to Timbuktu.
