Stepping back to survey my recent posts in two of my blogs, I realized that I have unconsciously choosen to write about a common theme--CREDIBILITY--in both, although one is an investment banker's blog and the other, for the most part a political blog. We probably have an emotional weather vane of sorts that changes direction periodically, sometimes triggered internally and, at times, externally. For whatever reason, the topics that caught my fancy lately had "credibility" as their common thread, so maybe it's as good as any to be my ten featured quotes today:
