Here's a link to the incredibly in-expansive article...

We've all been there, right? Screw Gandhi, the customer is not always right...(just ask Microsoft).
Anyway, having a "no returns" policy is one thing. Enforcing it is another.
And finally it took this 52 year old to show us all how to do it!
God forbid if I ever had to return anything to Radioshack again...!
Okay, when was the last time anyone bought anything at a Radioshack?!
Is that place a museum of "current electronics on sale" or what...

You shouldn't rob a bank when you are this busy....
Here is the link to the original article:

Happens everyday doesn't it ? (No it doesn't)
Pregnant woman decides to rob bank. Pregnant woman holds up cashier.
Get's call on the phone...and walks off.
Maybe we should have a law "No talking on the cellphone while robbing banks".
I am sure the California legislature can make time for this, in case the woman decides to travel here for her future deeds...!

Want to carelessly allow your factory to blow up? Care not to explain what happened? Love to cover up mistakes using anti-terrorism laws?..,
[Please click here to read original article]
The Coast Guard can help!
Or it would seem to be the case. The article I have linked up there is right on the dot - never noticed the explosion in the Bayer plant. But there is more than one reason why you or I would not notice such a thing.
What would they be?
Here is the scenario, right? - Plant blows up. Plant explosion kills 2 people. Company explains.
Uh, apparently no. Not only did Bayer get away with it, the Coast Guard is helping them too. Very nicely done. So, one hand the Supreme Court shuts out responsibility using preemption on the part of FDA, so that organizations don't have to answer to the patients they injure or kill. On the other hand, anti-terrorism laws and the Coast Guard of all the people help organizations to shirk the responsibility of answering to the public and the people they killed..
Oh yes, Congress is holding "hearings". Remember the last time "Congress" and the "FDA" got Bayer to back off calling "Aspirin" a "Dietary Supplement"!?
Hmmm, may the groveling in front of Bayer begin. What a lovely lot they must be to invest in. No Government, law, logical or common sense can get to them...

Looking for adventure..? Travel to the wild, wild, west Nebraska!?!*#
[Please click on title to read original article]
Okay, so how do you think most people react to the question:
"You're not doing anything with that old electric chair, are you?"
How would you react if you were running the corrections prison?
How would your travel plans to Nebraska change?
How would you conclude that the true intentions of these town-folks is to allure travelers and not to do away with them?
Only one way to find out....

Digging up the dirt on Darwin - the depths to which some non-believers would sink to... :p
[Please click on title to read original article]
Alright, I am just kidding - again. But to have servants help you with every single act of your day, would just be superb, n'est pas?
And a guy like Darwin who had to study only two hours of math (which would still suck, but hey, maybe he had a servant who did his homework for him) and some other nonsense, rightfully had too much time on his hands.
And that's how he must have come up with all this nonsense about evolution. Sheesh, what can you expect from a guy who had all these servants, had his dad pay for his school and he went shooting with his friends all the time (reminds of you a US President in the recent past?)...

"I'm flattered people even want to hear me in the first place." - George W. Bush!
[Please click on title to read original article]
Don't worry about the actual article. Isn't nitpicking what we are supposed to do anyway?
One thing we can deduce about Bush is that he is not big on "truthisms". He is more the "truth" guy. Who else would admit the truth about himself?
That said, many of us on the interwebs are not as flattered as much as flabbergasted!
What kind of people pay $3100 to hear him? In Canada? Some people MUST really miss humor in their life. Thanks to his bibliophilic aspirations to build a library (possibly of coloring books), we can hear more of this jolly old, humorous....
Basically he won't go away. Neither will Cheney.
As the old saint would say "Oh fun!"

Grassley admits "I never mean what I say"
[Please click on title to read original article]
When Grassley wants you to kill yourself, he really means it - not apparently. Maybe he thought he was like Cuomo? Giving executives a deadline, trying to see what they would do? But he just said he doesn't mean what he said.
Here is Grassley's itinerary for the reminder of this week:
1. Wednesday - Apologize to Japanese leaders for talking about how they apologize. He did not mean that their apologies were justified.
2. Thursday - Apologize to all businessmen because he wasn't being favorable only to Japanese Businessmen.
3. Friday - Apologize to everyone else, because he didn't mean to be nice only to businessmen in general.
The real problem is, one shudders (as one is) what would Grassley like to tell people on work visas about his views on their duration on this planet. Impressive for a "pro-life" guy.

Of what use is a government that cannot govern? otherwise known as "outrage at AIG bonuses"
[Please click on title to read original article]
What contract binding? If it had not been your and my tax money there would be no AIG. Here is a new contract Geithner:
Call AIG and tell them if the bonuses are not returned, the people who got the bonuses can leave. Don't we have enough people who would be happy to take up the jobs?
A sign that a government is becoming useless to its own people is when it doesn't even want to think beyond a straight line.
Every problem has a solution - if people thought with real earnest. AIG needs a long overdue house cleaning and perhaps the Obama administration is not up to the task...

Worried that college students are not getting the appropriate job skills? - Here's probably why!
[Please click on title to read original article]
I am sure you love Star Trek as much as I do (boy was that a terrible thing to confess to). Or, maybe you sit up thinking about Wonder Women and werewolves as much as I do as well.
But how is sitting through a college class discussing your private fetishes going to help you actually learn any skills in engineering, science, stocking, sales or anything useful?
Shouldn't they be firing the idiots who teach such drivel?
Know of a single nation outside the US where such crap would be tolerated?

Is the news that Bartz is re-orging Yahoo! a lie? hmm...

Because if she did unto Yahoo! what she did unto Autodesk before she left....
that would be "more of the same" n'est pas?

Oh, and she gets $19mn for this?
