The libertarian (note the ’small ‘l”) presidential candidate, Bob Barr, used that same phrase…yeah, it’s bonky.

A few years ago a related phrase popped up in the non-profit world: folks started talking about people donating “time, talent, and treasure” to organizations. I’ve always thought this was odd, like they were tooling up to our door with a bag of rubies and a knack for yo-yo tricks. Business-speak gets weirder all the time.

I would have assumed it meant artifacts, art, cultural treasures… like, in the museum lootings, ‘n’ stuff. But now that I think about it, really, they (the referrers to blood & treasure) probably don’t care so much about cultural destruction as they do about BILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
