I read a headline like the one copied below and I almost immediately think back to the days of racing small boats at Annapolis and their coach out on the water with us in a Boston Whaler riding up to the various losers in last place in any one of the 9 or 10 races of the day and shouting loudly at them using a loud hailer for maximum effect that, "Your position has been established." It was the signal for that set of losers to head back to the starting line so we could start the next race rather than let them finish.
I suppose if you work for the State Department it is safe to say of you if you ever find yourself working in Mogadishu at our embassy there that, your position has been established. You probably won't be rising to the top at any time in the future.
