Air Force One Flyby Causes Brief Panic In NYC
pdclarry writes "A Boeing 747 that serves as an Air Force One backup and two F-16 fighters escorting it caused a brief panic among office workers at the World Financial Center in lower Manhattan this morning, as large numbers evacuated the buildings. The incident was also spurred evacuations in Jersey City across the Hudson River from Manhattan."
The question I have for Obama is this: Who is stimulating the economy? Me, the guy who has provided 14 people good paying jobs and serves over 200,000 people per year with a flourishing business? Or, the single fat colored mammy sitting at home pregnant with her fourth child waiting for her next welfare check?
Joe? Is that you? We know you don't actually own or plan to buy that business.
I don't know about you, but if I evacuate without instruction from management, it counts against my vacation time. Doesn't matter if I'm afraid for my safety (although in the case of a fire or something, I'm sure they'd act rationally). I've burned vacation a couple of times leaving early when the roads were piling up with snow and ice bad and wrecks started piling up just so that I wouldn't wind up stranded at work or wrecked at the side of the road.
If I told my manager that I took off early because I was scared of a plane, he might be OK with it, but would certainly dock me vacation.
(OK, I guess that technically taking vacation is "time off with pay", I was just assuming that wasn't what you meant.)
Still, I guess any excuse to go home early is a good one, right?
He's getting rather old, but he's a good mouse.
of fuckin' wussy people.
Yeah, they'd be so much cooler if they didn't learn lessons in life.
