    Exactly, if the previous failure in chief hadn't decided to send all of our troops over to Iraq in a failed attempt to prove himself to his daddy (and help Cheney get more Halliburton money), we probably wouldn't have had to wait this long for the good news.

    Dear Obfuscant: Please find attached an updated bill for repairs to the damage you caused to out hotel's microwave.

    Because we all know that promoting the general welfare part of the constitution refers to the general profit margins of the companies that you so readily shill for.

    And many people are what are called Dunning Incompetent, since they seriously overestimate their own abilities. Strangely enough, these individuals can most often be found complaining that they are not allowed to violate laws even though they are obviously so much better then everyone else at determining their abilities.

  6. As strange as it sounds on Officials Say "Capes For the Unemployed" Plan Not Super · · Score: 1

    A lot of companies have policies against hiring the unemployed, especially if they have been unemployed for any length of time. The idea is that there must be something wrong for this person for them to have been let go. The fact that entire divisions and even businesses have been shut down are too much for these people to comprehend.

    How about a heavy lift chopper. I know they are expensive, but after cutting corners on the backups I think they could afford it.

    Would you need 200 hours of battery life? 6 hours is pretty pathetic considering what you are running, but couldn't you off-site some generators on trucks and get them there within, let's say, 24 hours?

    They'll just hire more uneducated foreign workers to do the work.

    only it was the 90's. Back then our store's register didn't display the change so you had to do it yourself. normally that's not too hard, but when you do 2-300 transactions a night after spending the entire day pounding the street looking for a permanent job, it gats hard to stay within the $2.00 limit for till errors.

    Well, I would imagine it would be rather hard for a real estate agent to show houses to families if they had to rely on a bus pass.

    that the PHB's big idea often violates one or two national laws and at least one physical law. then when reality steps in, it's the working stiffs who are blamed for hindering the PHB's "big Idea" by not being able to do his bidding.

  16. Re:But it's a good idea... on US Open Government Sites To Close · · Score: 3, Informative

    Well, son, when you get out of your mommies basement you will soon discover that most of those people are simply trying to get by, like the family one block over from us who's dad lost his job and mom is trying to take care of a two year old while recovering from chemotherapy and a double mastectomy. then again, blaming the victim always makes the morally bankrupt like you feel better, as you think it absolves you of any need to be a contributing member of society.

    Free speech is a human right. The fact that some people are not allowed to exercise this right is a problem. After all, slavery is practiced in some countries and I doubt even the most morally challenged would claim that that this is not a human right issue.

    The claim that you don't like being interrogated has nothing to do with the fact that you should be interrogated. Ethically challenged people usually think that they are, for some reason, deserving of special treatment and that we should all look the other way. If the people of your country actually want to be kept in the dark then they can hide themselves in the dark. Self important people like you and your friend do not have the right to determine what adults can and cannot view. (and pushing it on the ISP does not count as we all know how "voluntary" that actually is in backwater countries.) fortunately, as the news is constantly showing, the people of the middle east are getting tired of being held back by the ignorance and intolerance of people like yourself.
