CBS: McCain Grilling For A Running Mate?
It is extremely difficult to know who your friends are. Who can you count on and is reliable enough to stick with you through thick and thin? Usually you find out when it is too late. Sometimes, your friends turn out to be your enemies and they only came along for the ride for their own gain.
Who's loyalty can you count on, when the going gets tough? The tendency is, to put on a different attitude at work, then when being off work. Loyalty, dedication, responsibility, and the willingness to work "for the cause", often start and end with the office hours.
By grilling, you can already make a clear distinction.
- Those who simply refuse: you are better off without them.
- Those who are not sure: loose 'em, they are unreliable.
- Those who commit, but don't show up: forget them, they are only good for lip-service.
- Those who show up: observe them closely, they have potential.
- Those who beg for the grilling: keep them, they love your company and their enthusiasm goes long ways!
I think John McCain made a clever move. There is no better way to get to know your friends outside the office, then with a cook-out. The casual, relaxing atmosphere tends to allow for people to loosen up and show their real selves. Besides, who doesn't like a nice, juicy, grilled steak?
