Reading Sam Hinkie’s THIRTEEN-page resignation letter http://bit.ly/1VPk1X7 left me (almost) speechless.   After reading it the second time, I have come to a conclusion: the guy could qualify as certifiable.

So … all you Hinkie apologists, stop with the making excuses and get the man some help!

I might add, after many years in the business, anayltics need to understand there is a human element to the game.  “The Path to Power,” Robert Caro’s classic, multi-volume biography of LBJ, capsulizes it with the late, great Texas speaker of the house Sam Rayburn’s “If you can’t feel things that you can’t see or hear, you don’t belong here.”

Another old standard is worth repeating as well: “Together we build.”
