Crap Throwing Monkey

You want the government to take on the responsibility of punishing poor management of private companies? Is there anyone else here who thinks that's a good idea?

The way the SUV hit the cement barrier, it looks like the roof would have caved in on his head. Being ejected may have prolonged his life...by a full half-second.

I second that rant about the teachers' unions. I used to work for one of them, and was indirectly involved with the other. Bunch of friggin' leeches. Whatever benefits unions in general might provide, anyone involved in education would be better off if the AFT and NEA both were disbanded.

I heard a guy on the radio say the same thing.

Yeah. And Lyndon LaRouche is a true populist Democrat.

Actually, it's only East German olympians that aren't known for their beauty. The reason being steroids. The rest...I don't know that I've ever met a drop-dead beautiful German woman. But I've never met an ugly one.

You think I WANTED to see a giant vagina? Sometimes I wish I didn't see things the way I did...

Spoken like a friggin' liber-...er, conserv-...uh...what is this, exactly? Democonservitarianism?

Whoa. I'd like Miss February 6th, please...but only if the car comes with her.

All of them. Seriously. My company's policy is: if you're sick, call in sick. There's no set number of days...no "I've got a 103 degree fever and explosive diarhhea...but I'm going in, because it's July and I've only got 2 sick days left for the rest of the year." You're sick, you call in sick and stay home. Of course, that kind of treatment also prompts a lot of "I'm too sick to come in...so I'll work from home today" kind of dedication from employees, so no one takes all THAT many sick days. And so far, everyone the company's hired (it's a small company, but grown from 5 to 50 people since I joined) has been honest about sick days, which helps as well. Still...it's a bloody generous system, particularly when accompanied by 20 vacation days a year above and beyond that for starting employees, and the 5% annual raise. And before anyone asks...no, I'm not accepting anyone's resumes.

Missed that the first time, too. I'm assuming he didn't survive this...?

Unless the Chinese get there first with a big-ass laser that can shoot through the earth, in which case we'd all better learn to use chopsticks because we're !@#$ed...

Yeah...what Ghost of BiB said above. And I'm willing to stand on first-hand evidence that personal loyalty to Curious George isn't a requirement of government service...as evidenced by government contractors continually trying to recruit me despite my penchant for calling monkey-boy "Curious George"...

Sycophants? Re-read Ghost of BiB's post.

Admission of typo. New clown shoes for standing on my board watching satellites at the equator.

Civil Service? "Most highly qualified"? Do you even know what civil service is? Yeah...because what the !@#$ does he know.

Realistically, though...why wouldn't you? On the project I'm working right now, we're trying to design a three-tier enterprise application with a team consisting of COBOL programmers who've never done and do not believe in three-tier architecture. Basically, we spend so much time arguing we never get anything done. And that's one software project. It doesn't take a whole lot of imagination to extrapolate that dynamic to a foreign policy team.

Okay...let's be nice then and call it "speculation". Regardless...prove it.

Yeah...because that and sending her to an Eastern European concentration camp are obviously the same !@#$ing thing, you nitwit. And knowing how the Capitol Police work...I doubt anything was planned.

Ghosts have shadows?

Yeah. That happens a lot. Cindy Sheehan, for example...

That the government should cut defense and Homeland Security. Didn't ANYONE read his original post?

Oh, like YOU know anything about it...

Of course not. He's a general.

That's how you know it's a good idea. Anything worthwhile pisses everybody off.
