We're a big-picture kind of state 'holic, we do Presidents better than govenors.

BTW, I challenge, nay, I double-dog dare, the citizens of the other 49 states to show me a governor as shifty-looking as as Roddy B. :mrgreen:

does anyone else notice the distance between Jimma Carter and the others in those pics?

I loved that Clinton looks at Dubya and says, "I really like this rug." That was hilarious.

Bush should have said, "Well, the other one was kind of dirty, black lights revealed a lot of bodily fluid, so we through it out and started fresh." I could see Clinton saying, "Yup, that was me, hit the rock." :lol:

Funny. That's not the way he talked about President Bush on the campaign trail.

Now he's a fcukin' genius that he wants to "get advice, good counsel and fellowship" from? :roll: :roll: :roll:

He was more generous to Dubya than McPalin was. :roll: You're party sucks dick. I'm sure Obama strategy involved getting info from Dubya, THEN DOING THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF WHAT THAT MORON SAYS. Iron clad.
"Sarah Palin absolutely blew AWAY the audience tonight. If there was any doubt as to whether she was savvy enough, tough enough or smart enough to carry the mantle of Vice President, she put those fears to rest tonight. She took on Barack Obama DIRECTLY on every issue and exposed... She did it with warmth and humor, and came across as the every-person....it's becoming mroe and more clear that she was a genius pick for McCain."

He was just being polite, A'Griz. Everybody agrees that Bush is a clown and a miserable failure of President.

Obama is a classic product of the Chicago political machine, and you expect him to be some benevolent leader?

And that you would expect me to continue to carry the dead weight of three individuals who have CHOSEN to not perform their job as outlined, explained and EXPECTED confirms your "entitlement" mentality. They don't have a RIGHT to those jobs, D. They need to EARN them.....EVERY DAY. They chose not to, so yeah my cold, dark, conk fcuk heart is gonna put a bullet in 'em today and I'll sleep just fine tonight. They were warned, written up, put on action plans, etc., etc., etc. This is a right to work state, and they have lost that right---at least with MY company.

Sounds like you need to revise your work plans and review what, if any, things you or your supervisors could have done to help these people. 3 in one day!!!! Hell of an operation you got there Mr. Drysdale! :lol:

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. YOU are living proof of that, D. These people were given every chance in the BOOK. They either chose not to take advantage of those chances, or didn't believe us when we said that the repercussions would be "up to and including termination." My supervisors have better things to do than babysit deadweight. If you are ever in a position of authority and leadership, rather than just serving soup in a soup kitchen, you'll understand that. ;) ;)

On second thought, go ask your brother. I'm SURE (even though he's a red-blooded, entitlement mentality donk himself) he's had to fire someone in his life. :lol: :lol: :lol:
