I never joke about my work, 007.

And don't call me Shirley.

I wouldn't have pointed out the silliness of it if you were one of the usual wingnut apologists. The atypicality of the statement made it remarkable. Usually you are (somewhat) saner.

Just checking to see if the usual suspects were paying attention. And our "smartesst guy in the room," Nobel Peace Prize winning president has just uttered the biggest "nevermind" since Emily Littela (sp). And I'M the issue? Got it.

Who gives a rip? The only folks that matter are those making 200 grand +. Those folks are job creators, they're paying all the taxes, they're doing all the real work, they're suffering, man. We don't need to give them another tax cut. We need to stop stealing their money in the first place.

Dont forget, 200k is not a lot of money! Those people making 200k are barely scraping by...it is those fat cat teachers making 50k that are swimming in vaults of cash like Uncle Scrooge :D

Yeah, because the four guys on there were clearly anti-union corporate masters. Jefferson didn't end the slave trade with Africa, Abe Lincoln didn't end domestic slavery, and Teddy Roosevelt wasnt a trust buster. All would clearly be like Scott Walker if they lived today. :rolleyes:

Way off topic but Lincoln only ended domestic slavery of Negroes...Native American Slavery (in the Southwest) lived on into the 1870s.

Sorry back to everyone fighting :D

But you "claim" to be a lawyer. And that puts you on the high moral ground? Evidently you also believe something I've posted today suggests I think Scott Walker belongs on Mt. Rushmore. Let's get two nets.

Clearly it's union goons who've made America great. It's just a matter of time before Tony Boyle and Jimmy Hoffa are put on Mt. Rushmore.

Tell me, Sherlock, what do my posts have to do with the governor of Wisconsin? He is the moral equivalent of the murderer Boyle and the criminal Hoffa? Got it. It was you who brought up Walker in the first place. Check back on your posts, I'm sure you can refresh your memory.

Scooby is real good at posting what we are thinking for us, even when we're not thinking it.

I'd call it opportunistic and I'd be really careful about allying with them. But mostly I'd be suspicious whether there wasn't a lot more going on under the hood than such a white hat / black hat narrative suggests. Example: "the first Bush administration encouraged the Kurds to revolt against Saddam, then cowardly backed away and let them get slaughtered." I've always thought the truth was probably a lot more complicated than that.

This doesn't mean a government can't act in a way that if it was a person you'd feel obliged to punch them in the face. All my peers with Czech blood owe the Brits a broken nose for Munich. But we also have to be aware that what we think is going on is always being refracted through ideological and editorial lenses that like to boil the story down to the outrage of the week. 90% of outrages are probably just deliberate fact selection and arrangement for partisan or economic gain.

Point taken. Now, where do I find a Brit to punch in the face?

I didn't bring the Governor of Wisconsin into it. Genius. Maybe you should learn how to read?
 
Re: Obama XX: Maybe We'll Even Talk About Obama

So I found out (probably very late to the party) that workers at Jimmy Johns are trying to unionize or have unionized. A facebook friend had posted to announce a protest of a Jimmy Johns that didn't give their employees paid sick days. I just don't get it. Why the hell do fast food workers need to unionize? IT'S A GODDAM FAST FOOD JOB! Since when are paid sick days even thought of as a benefit for a fast food job?

Seriously, it's a job for high school kids during the summer who want to make minimum wage! It is not skilled labor. It's not even unskilled labor. :D

That said, I didn't dig that deep, so if these are full time managerial position then perhaps it makes sense. Am I missing something?

I'm not suprised. The factory worker jobs are gone now pretty much so those folks have moved on to the Jimmy Johns of the world. If you're in High School it is next to impossible to find a job cause you are competing with folks who don't have restrictions on their schedules, etc.

So when somebody wrote on post 562: "So, Scott Walker belongs on Mount Rushmore now? Got it." and used your name, that wasn't you?

Well, somebody surely ought to investigate that.

I guess you missed post 558. You responded to it, but you missed it. I'll take a page from Handy and just put you on ignore from now on.

Well, okay. You're right. However, the indisputable fact is that UNO fan was being sarcastic and you, literal minded lib that you are, took him seriously. When you and Handy are congratulating yourselves with how clever you are, you might want to spend some time reading up on sarcasm. As Texans say: AMF
