Notes 2007 Archives Duke: The DA Mike Nifong has dropped the charges against the Lacrosse players, because he never had a case in the first place. No matter! He is going to proceed against those kids with other trumped up charges. He is an evil man. He can get away with that because DA’s are protected. He cannot be sued even when he commits an obvious felony. The only person who has the power to move against a criminal
like that is the state’s attorney general. Unfortunately, most
state’s attorney generals are more often accomplices of the prosecutor
rather than an overseer. The Bar association of Saddam: He was hanged and someone took home movies of it. What we
saw was classic Muslim restraint. The Shiite
savages taunted him as the hanged him. Later, the media showed us clips of
the Shiites dancing, laughing, cheering, and generally celebrating a
man’s death. There is no difference. Shiite or Sunni, these Muslims are
primitive savages. There is no way there will be democracy there in the next
100 years. Hastert: He spoke in the
rotunda where Ford lay in state. I was amazed. Hastert is a great speaker.
It’s a shame his actions do not match his words. If they did, he might
have amounted to something. Edwards: He has declared
for president. I wonder what he is up to this time. He must know he does not
stand a chance of winning the nomination. Maybe he is positioning himself to
be VP again. He will have to do better than he is doing now. He was
interviewed by Stephanopoulos
and he talked about pollution and the energy crisis. His answer is
conservation, by which he means hunkering down and settling for less. He had
a perfect opportunity. Why didn’t he talk about solving the problems?
Why didn’t he talk about science and research? The American people do
not want to hear another blowhard rich man talking about conservation. Gross: Robert Nardelli
of Home Depot has been rewarded for failure. For sure, the reward was at the
expense of the stockholders. As the company stock declined under his
leadership, he was netting huge paychecks for failure. The final insult to
the stockholders was his final payoff. When he was dismissed, he received a
210 million dollar reward. This was all arranged by the board of directors before
he was even hired to be the CEO. He had absolutely no incentive to do a good
job. You need only
walk into a Home Depot to see the effect of incompetent management. It is
hard to find anything. The shelves are in chaos. The aisles are blocked with
skids of merchandise that has not been sorted and stocked. And, all of the
employees wear that frozen smile for the customers. By comparison, their
major competitor, Lowe’s, seems almost well organized. Of course, they
are not, but they are clearly the better of two bad choices. Speaking of
Gross: Nick Saban the
moneyman has another coup. After denying for weeks that he was about to
abandon the Dolphins and go to In its infinite
wisdom, the legislature of the state of Nancy Pelosi: The media
covered her take over as Speaker of the house. What a colossal ass she is.
She came thundering in on a horse that died several years ago. She really
babbled and bubbled about breaking what she called the marble ceiling. As a
later aside she had a few words about fostering a spirit of cooperation.
First, it’s in your face and then let’s cooperate. Duh! Then there is
The Koran: One guy was
sworn in while placing his hand on the Koran instead of the Christian bible.
There are still fools out there who pretend to resent that. I say so what?
How can it matter which mythical text he uses or if he uses any text at all?
Mrs. Gaffer thinks it would not matter if he used a roll of toilet paper. The
only thing that matters is if he does what the voters sent him there to do.
On that, I will guarantee he won’t. None of them do! Peanuts: The people who
were accused of false advertising on weight loss concoctions were fined 25
million dollars for the four of them. That’s about 6 mil apiece. The
FDA blowhard made that sound like a big deal. For them, that is peanuts,
pocket change. They made billions of those pills. What is the lesson here? George: He is getting ready to make his move. He fired the commanders who might have disagreed with him. They say Abizaid retired. Sure! He was allowed to retire. George fired him and Casey. General Fallon is now the top guy. For Abizaid it was probably a good thing. I think the pressure of being a hypocrite was too much for him. He could no longer cover effectively for the administration’s errors. Now George can go hell bent on getting more of our kids killed with a troop surge. Why not? Three of the newly elected dumbocrats have already stated their intent to betray the people who elected them. They are going to support the Commander-In-Chief with his troop surge. And the dance of idiots continues. Back to the Weekly Notes 2007 Archives |
