Obama's deficit reduction commission...

...lacks the resources to carry out their assignment and need a bigger budget.

We are so screwed.

For a job well done…

…a reward.

An employee at Wal-Mart sees a man trying to steal a computer and stops the theft. Corporate policy is that only managers and asset protection employees can stop a thief stealing product. Her reward is termination.

I suspect lawyers and fear of liability are the culprits here and that It’s cheaper to lose product than pay for an employee's injuries or fight the bullshit lawsuits that might arise. BUT this employee tried to do right by her employers, earn her shekels, and got fired as a result. My question for the brave lady is did anyone ever tell you that you were stand there like a lump on a log while the thief walked out with Wal-Mart’s property? If not hire your own lawyer. That’s their reward. And while a job is a job in this economy this brave lady can do better.

Seriously?

Man Busted With Massive Weapons Cache

What does ABC News consider a massive weapons cache? An AR with a .50 caliber upper, an AR in .308, a Cobray 37mm flare launcher, night vision, a bullet proof vest, and hundreds of rounds of .50-caliber and .308-caliber ammunition.

Massive? Really! Only in the mind of a reporter who doesn't have a clue and probably the New Jersey authorities.

I don't know what the gunman had planned and I'm sure that the authorities in the People's Republic of NJ have prevented a major incident, but seriously, I could throw a rock, and hit people with more guns at home than this guy.

H/T to CY and Uncle.

Hey Hugo...

...if we had a super secret death ray that could cause earthquakes at the location of our choice then why the hell would we target a small fry like Haiti that has done absolutely nothing to us but drain our coffers when we help them? Why, when there are fucktards in power elsewhere that maybe even have raised our ire and deserve a little attention...like maybe you.

The system worked.

Would that be the system that put the bomber’s name on a list after his daddy outed him to the US embassy in Nigeria but didn’t prevent him getting on a plane with a bomb? Would that be the system in Amsterdam that let him board an aircraft with a bomb in his drawers?

The system worked?

My ass you stupid bint. The fact that you would or could even say something like that and keep a straight face indicates you should seek job opportunities on a used car lot or Jim Baker's old pulpit. Oh sorry, under this Administration government service suits you fine. You fit right in.

CY and Ace do it a bit more justice than I.
