MISERABLE CREATURES AND INGRATES

ONE OF PATRICK'S DOGGY BUDDIES FROM FACEBOOK...


It is 6:04 a.m. and 56 degrees outside. The Boarder is in Rm#4 and Patrick and Junior are smoozing in the breeze downstairs.



Today's Quiz:
If you're HR for FoxNews and you're interviewing for a reporterette position and you have two candidates and they are basically equal in all respects except one looks like an old Candy Crowley and one looks like a young Jennifer Lopez, which do you hire?



We give Payton Manning a lot of grief here for not being able to lead the Vols to a victory over the Gators in FOUR tries, but he is really an admirable character and a great representative of the best the SEC has to offer...

Bob Dole on Scott McClellan:



"There are miserable creatures like you in every administration who don’t have the guts to speak up or quit if there are disagreements with the boss or colleagues...

"No, your type soaks up the benefits of power, revels in the limelight for years, then quits, and spurred on by greed, cashes in with a scathing critique..."

"In my nearly 36 years of public service I've known of a few like you. No doubt you will 'clean up' as the liberal anti-Bush press will promote your belated concerns with wild enthusiasm…

“Another thought is to weasel your way back into the White House if a Democrat is elected. That would provide a good setup for a second book deal in a few years..."

“If all these awful things were happening, and perhaps some may have been, you should have spoken up publicly like a man, or quit your cushy, high profile job.

"That would have taken integrity and courage but then you would have had credibility and your complaints could have been aired objectively. You’re a hot ticket now but don’t you, deep down, feel like a total ingrate?"

I once worked in the largest Go-Kart Factory in the US. I told the president of the Company, eyeball to eyeball, concerning a youth ATV: "These brakes don't work."

He hopped on the vehicle, drove it up and down the aisle, came back and looked me in the eye and said, "The brakes work fine."

They didn't--they barely brought the little kart to a rolling, coasting stop. This was a safety issue, involving children.

The Manufacturing Manager and I put ourselves on the public record, our last resort, stating in an email to the president that we would not build the vehicle with the brakes as designed.

The brakes were re-designed.

We both were eventually let go when it became expedient.

The company went bankrupt and was sold at auction, partly due to extraordinarily high product liability insurance costs due to payouts for accidents (but not on that ATV).

That president lives in a huge home with a four car garage. I wonder if Karma will catch up to him?
