How to Make About $2,000 An Hour On the Taxpayers' Dime Despite A Tawdry Past

Just be David Petraeus, the four-star general, former CIA head and architect of the counter-insurgency theories that worked so well in Iraq and Afghanistan before he was felled by really dumb sexual indiscretions. Despite his massive failures and an ongoing FBI investigation, Petraeus is doing a stint as visiting professor at CUNY - a public school - that will pay him either $200,000 or $150,000 (reports vary) for three hours of work a week, or about eight times the rate for real professors. He's also teaching in South Carolina and working at a massive equity firm, and never mind about his disastrous wars, his ethical failings, his "piss-poor leadership" and his mistreatment of those stuck beneath him in "the asphalt who paved his way to glory." Never let it be said that crime doesn't pay.

I particularly liked the wall lamp shadow on the wall.

Maybe Petraeus should give Tony Blair a call and see if he can get him a job with JP Morgan to occupy another day a week?
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
