Job Plan

Try THIS out at your job and see how it goes

Dear Boss,

I have enjoyed working here these past several years. You have paid me very well, given me benefits beyond belief. I have 3-4 months off per year and a pension plan that will pay my salary till the day I die and a health plan that most people can only dream about.

Despite this I plan to take the next 12-18 months to find a new position. During this time I will show up for work when it is convenient. In addition I fully expect to draw my full salary and all the other perks associated with my current job.

Oh yeah, if my search for this new job proves fruitless, I will be back with no loss in pay or status. Before you say anything, remember that you have no choice in the matter. I can and will do this.

Sincerely,
Every Senator or Congressman that has ever run for President.

New Month Good $ Change For Your Wallet


Since this is a new month I will try to be more positive. Here is a tidbit to start things out right...

While you may or may not like our new President, there is something that is going into effect that you will like. Starting this month or next month (depending on your billing cycle) your credit cards will be paid off quicker. When you make a payment the minimum will go to the lowest interest rate purchase, and then anything above the minimum you pay goes towards the highest interest rate purchase.

In simple terms, your card gets paid off quicker than before and you pay less money to interest.

Gin Rummy Quote


Boondocks is the best cartoon strip and TV cartoon ever, there is no debate. They say what people think, they mock anyone and everyone, they say anything (they did an episode about the N (Nigga is a friend Nigger is an insult), and best of all, Samuel L Jackson plays a white militant Iraq vet named Gin Rummy. Rummy's best lines are taken from Donald Rumsfield quotes "absence of evidence" and "unknown unknows" and made into huge satire. Here is the best...

Gin Rummy: I always say the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence.
Riley: What?
Gin Rummy: Simply because you don't have evidence that something does exist does not mean you have evidence of something that doesn't exist.
Riley: What?
Gin Rummy: What country are you from?
Riley: What?
Gin Rummy: 'What' ain't no country I ever heard of! They speak English in 'What'?
Riley: What?
Gin Rummy: English, motherfucker! Do you speak it?
Riley: Yeah.
Gin Rummy: So you understand the words I'm saying to you!
Riley: Yeah.
Gin Rummy: Well, what I'm saying is that there are known knowns and that there are known unknowns. But there are also unknown unknowns; things we don't know that we don't know.
Riley: What?
Gin Rummy: Say what again! Say what again! I dare you! I double dare you, motherfucker! Say what one more time!

Who Needs Honest Politicians?


Randy Cassingham's This is True: This is True's Current Weekly Issue

LIES, FALSEHOODS -- WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE? "My campaign is not based on a
foundation of lies," said Antwon Womack, 21, a candidate for the Board
of Education in Birmingham, Ala. "My values are not lies. It's just the
information I provided to the people is false." Many key facts on his
campaign web site were li-- ...uh... false: his age (he said he was
23), his bachelor's degree in education and his title of "Dr." (he
actually dropped out of high school -- as a freshman), even his address
(he didn't actually live in the district where he was running) and
phone number. Womack said he was running for the Board "because I seen
a lack of leadership," but the revelation of his lies -- er, falsehoods
-- "is really going to hurt my political career," he said. Womack
announced he would drop out of the race "because when people read this,
there's no way I can win." But he reneged on that promise, saying that
two local politicians were supportive of him staying in the race. Both
denied supporting him and demanded he stop using their names. Womack
came in third with just 117 votes.

You Make the Call


Is this photo racist? Is it artwork? Is it a tribute to the Joker? Is it offensive? Anti-Obama?

Your call and it proves art is open to interpretation. Cool idea especially if others were made of different people. Not a believer in the caption but everyone has their opinion.

(No I am not an Obama hater, I just like the work.)

Obama the Baller


As our country transitions to a more complex and politically charged atmosphere it is a refreshing change to see the supposed “spoiled” athletes take an active interest in politics. There are currently former professional athletes that are Mayors, Senators, Governors, and Congressmen, and this trend is on an upswing. George W. Bush was a former owner of the Texas Rangers, and numerous politicians own small parts of teams in all four major sports. America now has a politician that would be able to cross the political line and be an athlete. President Obama has an opportunity to become the first sitting politician that is also an active professional athlete. The Washington Wizards basketball team has the opportunity to make history and also help the economy all in one fell swoop. If they extend an invitation for President Obama to join the team, even in a few preseason games, that would help to boost interest in a struggling franchise and generate tremendous revenue. Sporting goods stores across the country and even the world would be selling out of Obama jerseys at an unprecedented rate, thus boosting the economy and helping to solidify sports and politics as the driving force behind the resurgence of the United States of America .
