  1. The Managers WERE the most productive...the most productive in almost any business usually make very very poor managers...as they expect everyone to be like them!
  2. WOW...gettin up there with traffic deaths!!
  3. Nice try, as usual, at diversion...I guess we both missed the repukes debate and only commented on the dem-dummies...
  4. Had the honor of meeting Bob last year at Dublin, we exchanged and smoked a few good cigars, made a few skydives, traded cigar and skydive stories. Blue Ones Forever Bob
  5. ""And lying about it goes with the territory for the Bush administration."" ____________________________________________________ Come on now...you can do better than that...makes no diff if it's the Re-Pukes or the Dem-Dummies...all liars for self promotion.
  6. Hope they find it in good shape. Saying baggage handlers will control ATC is almost like saying custodians will control education at schools...just makes no sense. Great diversion of facts though.
  7. I love cocaine, and smack, and pot, and speed, and alcohol, and anything else that can fuck me up. Having wasted 20 years of my life chasing the high, nothing good can come from using. The last 18 straight and sober years have been great!
  8. 41....it would be interesting to see how far off we view ourselves with a survey of how others view us...Yikes!
  9. Or is it saying that we were too late in our efforts to control global warming. I wonder what the point of no return was. 1930? 1950? I'd bet it was January 21, 2001. Had Dubya just done something on that day, we would not be facing it. ______________________________________________________ Now THAT was funny...
  10. Lets see...some 16 yr. old punk without a drivers permit is picked up at 3:20 AM for speeding and drunken driving, then escapes from the police car and jumps into a river with his hands cuffed...now THAT is one smart kid!!! Having lost two brothers, one of them under similar conditions, the family loss is devasting, but self responsibility has to step in somewhere...the source of the events started with the kid, so it is what it is. The blame rests nowhere but with the kid!!
  11. This statement could be made in reference to ANY past administration...funny how politics work.
  12. Nope...not pissed off...just amazingly amused!
  13. “You know, education, if you make the most of it, if you study hard and you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, uh, you, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq.” - John Kerry (speech on behalf of Phil Angelides) Is Kerry the one who went to Vietnam, or is he the one that stayed home? ------------------------------------------------------------- So if Nam was to the 60's what Iraq is to us today, and Kerry went to Nam...that means according to his statement...
  14. Someday we all just might understand that Rush L. is just like Al F., a simple bullshit entertainer laughing all the way to the bank!!
  15. As usual, just more bashing without answering the question. Not being fond of Bush or his decisions myself, it would be interesting to see legit answers to the orginal question instead of the twisting and turning of words that seems the norm here.
  16. WASHINGTON, Sept. 1 — An enduring mystery of the C.I.A. leak case has been solved in recent days, but with a new twist: Patrick J. Fitzgerald, the prosecutor, knew the identity of the leaker from his very first day in the special counsel’s chair, but kept the inquiry open for nearly two more years before indicting I. Lewis Libby Jr., Vice President Dick Cheney’s former chief of staff, on obstruction charges. Now, the question of whether Mr. Fitzgerald properly exercised his prosecutorial discretion in continuing to pursue possible wrongdoing in the case has become the subject of rich debate on editorial pages and in legal and political circles. Richard L. Armitage, the former deputy secretary of state, first told the authorities in October 2003 that he had been the primary source for the July 14, 2003, column by Robert D. Novak that identified Valerie Wilson as a C.I.A. operative and set off the leak investigation. Mr. Fitzgerald’s decision to prolong the inquiry once he took over as special prosecutor in December 2003 had significant political and legal consequences. The inquiry seriously embarrassed and distracted the Bush White House for nearly two years and resulted in five felony charges against Mr. Libby, even as Mr. Fitzgerald decided not to charge Mr. Armitage or anyone else with crimes related to the leak itself. Moreover, Mr. Fitzgerald’s effort to find out who besides Mr. Armitage had spoken to reporters provoked a fierce battle over whether reporters could withhold the identities of their sources from prosecutors and resulted in one reporter, Judith Miller, then of The New York Times, spending 85 days in jail before agreeing to testify to a grand jury. Since this week’s disclosures about Mr. Armitage’s role, Bush administration officials have argued that because the original leak came from a State Department official, it was clear there had been no concerted White House effort to disclose Ms. Wilson’s identity.... more Jay Leno: "British authorities said they were able to detect the terrorist plot using a surveillance program that the "New York Times” hadn’t got around to exposing yet." Cynicism is killing this country ____________________________________________________ Funny how the extreme left who post fail to bring up things like this...if they respond, watch them attempt to change the subject.
  17. Since Clinton fucked over the two people he is supposed to love the most, Hitlery & daughter, is it reasonable to think he would fuck over the population he was supposed to be leading into the future?
  18. I admire her financial/business plan...other than that radical right/radical left, all suck!
  19. Then it needs to be built into the price...not as an after thought! It amazes me that scores of manufacturers and large DZ owners can afford what they do on a personal basis with such a small profit margin I LIKE the idea they make a healthy profit, and prefer not doing business with the person who might be gone tommorow.
  20. Skydiving business in general, has the worst business format in the world. How many other business owners add on a surcharge for credit cards...how many business owners have to compete with their suppliers for the same business...if we were smart, tandem factories would work with the funjumper dropzone with focus on keeping it fun and retaining future skydivers. As with any business, the focus should be recurititng-(tandem factories)-retaining-(fun DZ's)...If your not in a business to make a living, why are you in business?
  21. Dealing with the school systems/principals/superintendents on a daily basis, most, not all, but most, could not survive a single moment in the real world of work and money. Saying that, I'm glad they are in their chosen profession, we need them. I couldn't stand a system that rewards tenure vs. performance.
  22. Sooooooooo...in YOUR context, if you're religious, God didn't invent air...he created it!!! LMAO!
  23. Do we REALLY hate each other?? Or is it all just a game of wits...or dimwits?
  24. Simple...they own the company...they make the rules, not much complicated about that...LOL! ( Gaud forbid that a company giving someone a paycheck can tell them how to dress...what has the world come to?)
