    My Boss...

    Is great. Not just competent at the work, but good about getting the best out of us. Plus a recogniser of a great truth, "Most of what we do is just getting other people to do what they are supposed to do."

    Australian liberal minister commits street robbery...

    In the last election, Mr. Howard barely beat Mr. Latham- an opponent of Australia's alliance with the United States.

    This lunatic was nearly prime minister of Australia last election. Now he's robbing people personally, not just through socialism.

    A reporter had the AUDACITY to take his PICTURE on the PUBLIC STREET.

    So he grabbed the reoprter's $12,000 camera, and when the reporter demanded it back, hit the reporter.

    That's robbery with violence. What does that carry in Australia? 3-6 years here for a first offender. Which he's not.

    "It looks like he spent a good hour hopping into it with a claw hammer..."

    Meat bribery is legal...

    Yes, according to the D. A., bribes of meat, and actions taken to alter the criminal process under the influence of meat, are not criminal.

    Cheap meat, too.

    "Even without a direct exchange, however, dismissing tickets as a favor has “a bad ring to it,” said Joe C. Loser Jr., dean of the Nashville School of Law.

    “But I don’t know of any statute that prohibits it.”

    How about Tennessee Code 39-16-402, Official Misconduct:

    A public servant commits an offense who, with intent to obtain a benefit...(5) Receives any benefit not otherwise authorized by law".

    Or, 39-16-102, Bribery of a Public Servant:

    A person commits an offense who (2)While a public servant... accepts any pecuniary benefit upon an agreement or understanding that the public servant's ... action as a public servant will thereby be influenced".

    Yes, triviality is a defence to both charges, but that's a question for jurors, isn't it?

    Beautiful truths about us and the Chinese...

    "Cultures are not equal. Cultures can be ranked in a clear if changing hierarchical order and for most of our history the Chinese have ranked far higher than we do.

    By chance we got to the magic of capitalism first and in the nineteenth century were able to dominate and humiliate the Chinese in one of the very few but most shameful episodes in our island story. Now that the Chinese have discovered the virtues of capitalism they will soon return to their former pre-eminence. Go in humility to the exhibition at the Royal Academy, a humility enhanced by a realisation that our grossly inadequate educational system does not equip us with a proper knowledge of Chinese characters, symbols and society. They know all about us and understand us, easily appropriating our past achievements. We know nothing about them and our arrogant ignorance of China is our disgrace today and our downfall tomorrow. "

    Eric Watson beat the fix!! #$%^&* voters...

    Do try to follow this tragic story.

    Republican was elected, but when he arrived in Nashville he lined up at the corruption trough with the machine Democrats, and became their go-boy.

    Then he was caught with his hand in the jar, and resigned- but his replacement was appointed by the county commission in the smallest, majority Democrat, county in the gerrymandered district. So no problem, he was replaced with a machine Democrat, that gave her the incumbency advantage in the special election. Good enough to deter any significant Republican from running. Perfect resolution- replace RINO with actual Democrat as a result of a Democratic bribery scandal.

    But then those CITIZENS have the AUDACITY to elect a REPUBLICAN NOBODY. He might even be a GENUINE REPUBLICAN.

    Love that democracy, eh Mr. Speaker?

    Sticking the antis...

    I love this sort of thing. I always send lefty solicitations back empty, no telephone books because in the U. S., the post office doesn't charge return free mail by weight.

    And a first class news assembler and observer...

    Continuing with the theme of cleverer people than I, please read the Dinocrat. Assembler of news and thinker thereon, but more importantly a digger after information with a wide perspective.

    My favourite- "You can tell who is winning and who is losing by who has a sense of humor".
