Now you keep saying things like "pay for bailouts" hmmm, I think you are bagging those of wealth and labeling them all as financial institutions employees, aren't you? It seems that way or at least it does to me.- uh...who owns those financial institutions? those folks are called 'wealthy' I thought the owners were share holders who own publicly traded stock.?- i don't own 51% of any company. |

John I suppose you could be right. We need to define wealthy, and rich. Just ask Harry, in his fantasy narcissist world, he is both! |

Then quit ****ing and moaning about the owners being wealthy (in the material sense, of course). ROFLMAO!! why? do you think that having had the big boys raid my 401k to maintain their lifestyles makes me rich? you right wingers have quite an imagination. Oh, and quit calling names and hurling personal insults. They don't help your arguments. Krause has been doing it for years. Hasn't helped him at all. -- ?? now let's see...the right invents lies such as obama putting people in concentration camps, forming death panels, etc. THEN when they get called on it, they moan they're being treated unfairly... You are correct! The lies about the death panel crap that is coming from the right is dishonest, and they know it, that is IF they read that part. |

wrote: snip Maybe the deadwood went first. yeah, that's the cliche they want you to believe Stuff happens. My wife is the I.T. manager at a steel products company in the Chicago 'burbs. Managers in general have their 'enemies' and 'spies' list with them at all times in their heads. The president of the company went one step further and arranged to install a completely illegal phone tap system. One particular inside sales order taker was pulling down an unusually high salary for someone in her position, on recommendations from an out of state VP of Sales. Also a general whiner-and-complainer... When the tap was moved to her line (5 taps total), the VP's reason for said recommendations became very clear. SHE WAS PERFORMING PHONE SEX FOR THE VP!!! Now, we shall call her Farrah Drippin' Faucet, as she turned out to be a Couger that enjoyed trips up and down the Hershey Highway with the maintenance manager, Georgie Boy. Now Bob the VP was a very lucky boy indeed. Not only did he posess a name that when he became confused or didn't have enough cofee yet and spelled his name backwards it was OK, but he had a highly paid phone prostitute to talk to on weekdays. Guess who was in the first wave to go... |

Only real problem we had is the guy who originally designed the case had designed military tanks. So all screws were stainless. Case was sheet aluminum. Could never get the Engineering change board to sign off on changing the stainless to plated Keps. Then the assembly people could have used the magnetic power screwdrivers with even better production results. |
