If the guy's been out of work for a while and has a good skillset that is in demand, then look at Human Resources and the ongoing rampant AGE DISCRIMINATION that a majority of HR departments practice. Ageism is silent. Ageism is faceless. If it was legal to do, HR would include a "You must be currently employed and have been born no later than 198xyz to apply for this job"

FandE - No. I am an independent voter. Was the democratic mafia prison crack supposed to be an insult? Everyone knows that prisons are owned by republicans

You are still living in a fantasy land thinking that there is a difference between Repubs and Democrats? No difference exists between the parties that MONEY won't bridge. You also seem to believe that either of the political parties create jobs. They don't. BUSINESSES do. People do.

Give me a candidate that promotes and rewards business for employing Americans. Give me a candidate that changes the tax code and business environment so that it PENALIZES financial speculation and REWARDS INVESTMENT. Give me a candidate that cares about AMERICAN Citizens more than he cares about CORPORATIONS and GLOBALIZATION. And one that would invoke the existing antitrust regulations against banks and other institutions that are now "too big to fail".

Otherwise, we are simply waiting for round II of the economic collapse.

FandE -
You are kidding yourself. Addressing Delphi retirees' issues is not going to happen. NEVER going to happen no matter WHO gets elected. That bird has flown, the horse is out of the barn, the fat lady has sung. WHY?

MONEY makes things happen. Next comes VOTES. And thanks to electronic voting, sometimes MONEY trumps votes. If you have MONEY AND VOTES, perhaps someone will listen.

Come live in the real world of how things ARE, not how you think things SHOULD be if everyone only played fair. They don't. And people with money pay people with power to write rules that benefit THEM. Not you.

By JINGO you make a good point!

Except that there is a "guns or butter" choice that has to be made now. When the country allows its manufacturing base to be systematically dismantled and its jobs shipped overseas to take advantage of low wages and lax environmental controls, haven't you already LOST the important war? The ECONOMIC war!

WARS were originally fought to gain access to resources that would better your own nation. Not to make the world safe and secure for multinational income streams for a few at the expense of everyone else, particularly the soldier.

Make no mistake about Mr. BOOT, Globalist Council of Foreign Relations member. Anyone who has studied the purpose of the Council of Foreign Relations knows that one of its MAIN raisons de 'etre is to LOWER U.S. wage rates in an attempt to ensure economic parity in the world. How about instead of LOWERING the U.S. wages and working conditions, work to raise the conditions and wages in the other countries? But that is just Ohio-born common sense talking. Not some jingoistic globalism wrapped up in the U.S. flag.

So just where IS Loweville, Ohio?

I couldn't find it on the map.

The injection well has nothing to do with the earthquakes. The check is in the mail. I have no recollection of selling those weapons to Iran in exchange for hostages. We now have evidence of WMD in Iraq. We are from the government and are here to help. I did not have sexual relations with that woman... Miss Lewinsky. Read my lips, no new taxes. I am not a Crook! Hope and Change. Have I got a deal for you!

Pavlik - don't come out to Oxnard unless you are serious. Being a tough guy from Youngstown doesn't mean jack in the barrios of Oxnard, where 30% of the population grew up in dirt-floored huts.

You want to be washed up, be washed up at home.

Paula and Frank -

Nice Tree!

BTW - You are starting to look like Pat. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to All!

So after I kill Sparky the dog for an unprovoked attack on my child IN MY OWN YARD, and then later find out that it is a POLICE dog, am I in trouble?

FormerRes  (anonymous) says...

What the hell is WRONG with these people who shoot a man's dog at the drop of a hat? If you go into a person's yard unannounced, shouldn't you EXPECT to PERHAPS be confronted with a dog? Maybe the right thing to do would have been to back away and get the occupants of the home to secure their animal?

Geez, I was a paperboy as a kid. Been bit by dogs several times, once in the face. I never KILLED one for biting me, but then again that's back when men were men. Boys were obviously more manly back then too compared to an idiot substandard police officer hiding behind a gun he OBVIOUSLY shouldn't have.
