No, he's right. Government jobs are for mostly for leeches. As one guy said at the gub'mint job I have, it's the 40-60 system. 40% of the people do 60% of the work. I think that's over-estimating the laziness of the common government leech because it's worse than that.
Sure, I've worked for corporations and there's plenty PLENTY of slack off time (just like in Office Space about the 15 minutes of actual work a day), but it's nothing like Gub'mint Work where I've been penalized for working too much. I ignored the first "slow down, you work too much" warning and it nailed me on a review.
You're paid for not working because that's the Magic of The Job. If you can't finish your job, you get a bigger budget.
My 2nd job is at a small company and I'm not paid more in the private company like you said. But I enjoy working there.
And public defenders, and I'm thinking of the one that told my uncle to plead guilty to an armed robbery that even the witnesses said wasn't commited by him, wouldn't do it if they were qualified enough to get a real job.
The voice roll is why they're getting screwed. Fox is huge largely because of the Simpsons and this is the 17th year it has been on. Fox makes so much money off that show and the voice talent deserves fair pay. On Friends it was a million an episode, and I don't think the Friends crew ever wrote for the episode. The Simpsons uses lots of stuff from the voice actors.
No, it's Fox being greedy fucks. They lost Maggie Roswell who did Maude Flanders after paying her $6,000 an episode. She wanted a raise and Fox only offered her $150. Eventually she just tried to get Fox to pay her airfare from Denver (her town) to LA and Fox said get bent.
"I was part of the backbone of 'The Simpsons,' and I didn't think [the requested raise] was exorbitant," Roswell said. "I wasn't asking for what the other cast members make. I was just trying to recoup all the costs I had in travel. If they'd flown me in, I'd still be working."
I also blame Groening for being a greedy fuck and not sticking up for the voice actors. But that's mostly because of him suing Bunnyhop for having a cover of Binky, Groenings one-eared bunny from Life in Hell punching out the Trix Rabbit. It's nothing that the Simpsons don't do in every episode.
Which brings us back to Bill Janklow again. 100 days in jail for vehicular manslaughter. How much time do you think Ballmer or Gates would do?
I'm surprised that Janklow even got 100 days. Tennessee Senator Koella was drunk, hit a motorcyclist and left him to die on the road. Koella served no time. And then they named the road after Koella when he died of natural causes.
Martha Stewart is going to prison because she's not politically connected, and probably because she's female. If only she was in Skull & Bones...
You just need to stand at the border with large baseball or cricket bats. Planes hate bats, and bats are sympathetic to American causes. Evil nations would use pointed sticks. So if you develop a system that can tell the difference between pointed sticks (evil) and baseball bats (good), no problem. I'm sure any ol' RFID would be useful in a good American or British bat.
They've been doing that for a while, at least in California. Someone goes through the records and collects addresses. My neighbor got a DUI, and he started getting lots of snail mail offers from lawyers.
I wonder if lawyers contacted OJ after his arrest...

I grew up in Sacramento in the 1970s, basically surrounded by Air Force bases. I've always loved the sound of Hueys flying overhead.

Thanks for the insightful mod. I think I'll steal that joke from whoever modded me insightful.
You're completely right there. If only I had mod points for insightful...
Sure thing. What number are you?

But I still watch the Simpsons.
Can you find my old log-in? I have no idea what it was or what email it was, so it shouldn't take you too long. I want my ID in the 30000 range.

Okay, I'm game. You must be new here.
I'll turn off my karma bonus (all due to goatse links), and see what happens.

Kenneth, what is the frequency?
and not a single Speed Racer joke. I'll reload in 30 seconds.
Not quit correct. The Germans didn't want the US to bring shotguns into wars. Inhumane, they said.
Crappy movie, but it made for a good Simpsons.

Yes, a real concentration camp is something like Manzanar where we kept those sneaky Japanese in World War 2.

Hey, what's good enough for the USA is good enough for Iraq!
Replying to my own comment... I misread the line I quoted. Next time, no more being a smart-ass until I've finished a couple cups of coffee.
Heck, what if there was enough IP space such that the ASCII codes for the letters in your site name somehow made up the actual IP.
Thank god, I'm the only Dave Smith in the world.
I've been told that Costco has a "member for the day" pass you can get. That'll save the membership fee.
the Krusty Komedy Klub (.kkk) won't have problems with this!
When you read the article, it says she was sent home to pack before going into quarantine. Lovely.
The poster's description of the requirements for a security container is pure horseshit.
Are you saying that a government employee made a mistake? Terrorists like you make the US unsafe.
I get them all the time for my PO Box, but the interest rates are so low how can I pass them up?
