Going on strikes is refusing to do your job. Fact. Live with it. Different airlines playing to different markets are run in different ways. Your pathetic attempt to compare them is extremely simplistic. My statement about the unions and Delta is completely accurate. Facts. Deal with it. Again - what makes you so sure corporations should be responsible for the health care policies of its employees? Eastern's unions destroyed their employer. Deal with it. Regardless of Eastern's other faults, their unions decided to destroy the airline and did a superb job of it. Utterly hilarious, but the hilarity is declining. This one doesn't even top the time you were crowing about budget deficits being bad and then slamming GWB for wanting to cut programs that were ineffective.

Affirmative Action is racial discrimination, regardless of how one looks at it. The entire reparations movement is an utter joke. Lazy fucktards wanting something for nothing. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Yes.

Going on strike is refusing to do your job. Get a grip. Reagan did the right thing and fired them for it. What makes you so absolutely positive that employers should pay for their workers' health insurance? Southwest and the smaller airlines such as JetBlue do manage to turn a profit, by keeping to niche markets really nice management. The larger ones such as Delta, Continental, US Air et al do not because their unions bleed them dry - among many other reasons. Delta's unions almost took the company under recently. Denying that Eastern Airlines went under due to its unions is just not facing reality. Airlines with unions would be better off without them. So would GM. News Flash: State governments are governments and make the choice to adhere to federal standards and get their federal highway money or not to. Their choice. Not as funny as your last one, but still quite funny. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

This is a funny post too, but not quite as funny as your last. Firing the ATCs for refusing to do their jobs was one of Reagan's finest moments. Any airlines that were lucky enough to get rid of their unions - Eastern wasn't one of them - were smart to do so. Unions are why many of the major airlines are not profitable and also why GM is in such serious trouble today. Mandatory seat belt usage is a state and not a federal law if memory serves, as is insurance. Please, keep posting. Hilarious!

You know, it's always a chuckle reading one of your posts, but calling Reagan a fascist pig and blaming the Enron and Worldcom and other corporate debacles on him just takes the cake. That is by far and away the funniest thing you've ever writen. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Vive la France. Good luck today.

HOpe the weather is better next weekend in the Hills. Hope it clears up today too so you all can jump.

I dislike Ortiz and think he's a punk with an attitude, but I don't believe Shamrock's capable of taking him given his age - much as I would like to see it happen.

Caye Caulker was absolutely fantastic. Have a Pina Colada at the bar at the end of the island - they're the best I've ever had. Ambergris is a bit more bullt up, but i hear the beaches are a bit better. Caulker is a place more suited for scuba divers and people who want to get away from everything. Placencia is nice too.

JACKASS '08 kind of rolls of the tongue nicely, though, doesn't it? Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Because you're cool, silly. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Scatter crude jokes and obscenities throughout the document at random spots next time...it might encourage them to read more carefully.

Sounds like you're quacking to me. Perhaps you should reread what they're reporting. Shells containing mustard and sarin gas...none that would function as designed - probably designed to disperse the gas in the air prior to impact with the fuses/sensing/timing mechanisms non-functional; not sure, as I don't know a lot about the design of chemical weapons and have no interest in the subject. I don't really believe mustard gas has a 20 year decay time and nor do you, if you've read anything at all about it. Somebody posted a nice reference to the mustard gas shells that still infest certain areas of France in some thread in here a while back. Interesting reading. The decimated military of which you speak managed to produce a new long range missile - the Al Samoud if memory serves - that they subsequently destroyed because it exceeded the range limits imposed by the UN. Can conduct the research to produce a new missile but not keep controls on certain munitions? You know better as do I. It's either tight control or unbelievable luck that such a shell was not fired...such luck within the chaos known as battle that I'm hard pressed to believe it, given the irrefutable fact that such shells do/did exist. Without functioning as designed their effect would not have been as devastating as designed, but their use would have been detected.

Good post. Thanks.

No working WMD's? Odd statement. I distinctly recall leftists prior to our invasion showing pictures of Don Rumsfeld with Saddam Hussein with glee, chortling about hypocrisy prior to running with their tails between their legs when asked about 444 days in Iran and how that related to their beloved photo of Secretary Rumsfeld or the WMDs we gave Iraq. The only time you'd see such leftists tuck their tails and run any faster would be when asked about the WMD's we provided Iraq and their disposition when said leftists shrieked that Iraq had no WMD's. Between the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, our coalition action to drive the iraqis out of Kuwait, and our subsequent invasion of Iraq, the Iraqi military fired thousands upon thousands of rounds. Do you honestly believe that if SH's controls on his WMDs were so insanely incompetent as the random dispersion of shells found to date seem to indicate, that one or more chemical agent bearing shells would not have been fired accidentally? You're a smart guy - think as you like. I for one, am not buying it at all. WMD's possessed by sovereign nations are controlled and tightly. Once used, they raise the stakes far too greatly to even contemplate using one accidentally. They are therefore controlled. Again, think as you like, but that's how I think myself and the fact that NO chemical shells were fired accidentally tends to support my line of thinking. The lack of documentation on such control systems and ongoing programs that we've discovered to date seems to support your own and other leftists' lines of thinking. Neither side knows for certain. The Fox report is interesting, but not really of great note. Given the benefit of hindsight I'm more than a little disappointed with the actions of both the Executive and Legislative branches of government with regards to the Iraq war. Hindsight is bliss, however, and armchair quarterbacks most plentiful. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

I can make the same assumption about the intellect of those who have watched CNN, CBS, NBC, ABC for years and deny their left leaning bias. All networks - Fox and CNN included, bias aside, actually do produce some excellent journalism from time to time and none of them may be discounted as a 'joke' in their entirety.

I don't think this report sheds light on anything we didn't already know. The Saudis and the Pakistanis - the latter with American $$ funneled via ISI - funded Al Quaeda training camps in Afghanistan, and it's a fairly well documented fact. Stephen Coll describes it well in his book on the history of US involvement in Afghanistan - Secret Wars I believe it was titled. Arab govt's supporting terror is not a startling revelation. Despite the fact that WMDs have been found - and lots of them - leftists will NEVER focus on the fact that the UN Inspectors were wrong. They will always point to the fact that no evidence has emerged proving Saddam Hussein's regime was pursuing production capabilities for more WMD's. I think the left is really in trouble for many other reasons and this story does little for either their demise or the advancement of the Republicans. It is interesting, however, and might later - with additional data - show something else horrid about Hussein's regime (not that there wasn't enough out there already).

Thank God they're OK! I hope they NEVER get their license back! Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Yo ho ho! You been in the air lately? Hope things in CA are treating you very well!

Mommy, mommy! Uncle Vinny taught me to pour him tequila shooters! And he let me pile all of the pots and pans in the middle of the floor and beat on them with silverware!

Er...uhhh....moi? Babysit for a newborn, a two year old, and a four year old? The mere thought sends shivers down my spine. If they thought me up to it, pehaps... Thanks for the tips, Moms! Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

ROFLMFAO! Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

A friend of mine is having her third baby this week. I'll be in town (where she lives) on business next week for a day or so, and would like to bring her a present of sorts. Her husband drinks tequila as well, but I figure she wouldn't be up for that (I'm bringing him a bottle anyway, unbeknownst to her, but knownst to he and I ). Any of you Moms out there have any suggestions? Figured I might offer to cook dinner or something since they'll be busy with a newborn and two other kids.
