  17-03-2025 18:00 via ocregister.com
  
  “Mission creep” is generally understood to mean the gradual or incremental expansion of a project or mission beyond its original scope. In military parlance, it describes when an operation becomes wider in scope than its initial objectives, which can lead to unintended, and even disastrous, consequences.
  Mission creep is especially prevalent in government bureaucracies. How often do we see an agency gradually expand its defined mission statement to include new issue areas or programs

  17-03-2025 17:43 via ocregister.com
  
  For those of us with long ago memories, “sufferin’ succotash” is remembered as swear words of sorts. It was voiced by Sylvester the Cat in Warner Bros. cartoons when the character faced frustration, chagrin, or anger. It was a curse that didn’t burn the censors’ ears.
  It wasn’t until I went to college that the nonsensical phrase took on a culinary meaning. My first spoonful of succotash was experienced in a college dorm cafeteria, a mix of lima beans, bell pep
