John McCain’s massively popular, “The One” web video about Barack Obama, has spawned off another web video “The One II.”  Several Moses-like comparisons are drawn to emphasize Obama’s charismatic appeal, and poke fun at the DNC convention, soon to coalesce in Denver August 25 through 28, 2008.  “The Ten Commandments” movie with Charleton Heston and Yul Brenner sets the theme.

Barack Obama in his speech, says,

“A light will shine down from somewhere.  It will light upon you.  You will experience an epiphany.  And you will say to yourself, I have to vote for Barack.” 

Yul Brenner, follows in a clip from The Ten Commandments interspersed in the video, by commanding,

“So let it be written.  So let it be done.”

Later, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (CA) proclaims Obama,

“a leader that God has blessed us with at this time.”

Imagine that!  Actually, see for yourself.

In Obama We Trust Funny Money

August 21, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Found this over at Not Falling In Line.   What is it supposed to be?  Could it buy anything at all?  If so, what does one dollar buy in these modern times?  Would anyone recognize that modern day neck tie or that modern day looking face?  Would anyone believe, “In Obama We Trust?”  Modern day litmus test:  the candy machine or that funny liquid from the office supply store; however, modern day convenience store discouraged.  Best bet:  the U.S. Treasury Department.   Modern day Secret Service men will beat a path to your door and confiscate all copies of this keepsake.  And confiscate you.Do Obama fans seriously think that he's God?

According to Rick Davis, the campaign manager for John McCain,

The reviews are in from Saturday’s Saddleback Civil Forum on the Presidency, moderated by Pastor Rick Warren. The critics agree – John McCain’s straight talk emerged as the big winner of the night.

After watching both candidates answer the same set of questions, it’s become clear why Senator Barack Obama has run away from debating John McCain and refused joint town hall meetings. Senator Obama dodged answering the toughest questions. But John McCain gave straight and direct answers to Rick Warren and the entire audience about issues like national security, personal faith and values, education, taxes, energy, and the Supreme Court.

CBS News Story, McCain  Scores A Bump From Saddleback, notes improving support from voters across the country.

The Washington Post noted BOTH Candidates Had Advance  Look At Questions,

News Hounds story noted that one of the questions was given to Obama beforeheand, but Warren never had the chance to give it to McCain because he arrived late.

Either way, McCain came off as straightforward, as opposed to Obama who gave Warren the impression of nuance.  The Saddleback Presidential Candidates transcript may help you decide.

Budget Cuts Force New Office Box Cubicle

August 21, 2008 · Leave a Comment

This IS your new office.  Deal with it.  

 

 The Cubicle.  Oh-oh.  There’s something in the In Box already.

 

Nice door for privacy, a window, and even a flower box.

Great computer, telephone, crappy award for something, and Bush-Cheney/Beavis and Butthead displays.  Note to self: Some people say I have a bad attitude.  Those people are stupid.

 

Note to self: You R NO Prank KING!  Cool paper organizer.  Even a box CD disc and pen/pencil holder!

 

Very nice headphones and computer and printer set-up.  Even a paper with Blah BS, Blah BS…Welcome Back on it.

Plenty of space on that shelf above the computer and telephone.  May have to move the Crappy Award and the Bush-Cheny/Beavis and Butthead photo though. 

 

My, even a mini-fridge with food and drink.  The kind with a window on it so I can see inside when the door is closed.

 

What a comfortable, ergonomic swivel chair, for long lasting comfort while working away on that state of the art computer.  Oh, oh.  Server error already.  FLAGRANT SYSTEM ERROR.   The system is down.  I dunno what the heck you did you moron, but you’ve already screwed everything up!

 

And a heavy duty power center to go with my desktop and printer center.  No power outages for me!

Okay buddy, tour completed.  now get to work!

New Office Policy From The Management

August 21, 2008 · Leave a Comment

 

 

 

EFFECTIVE AUGUST 1, 2008

 

NEW OFFICE POLICY

Dress Code:

1) You are advised to come to work dressed according to
your salary.

2) If we see you wearing Prada shoes and carrying a
Gucci bag, we will assume you are doing well financially
and therefore do not need a raise.

3) If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your
money better, so that you may buy nicer clothes, and
therefore you do not need a raise.

4) If you dress just right, you are right where you need
to be and therefore you do not need a raise.

 

Sick Days:

We will no longer accept a doctor’s statement as proof
of sickness. If you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.

 

Personal Days:

Each employee will receive 104 personal days a year.
They are called Saturdays & Sundays.

 

Bereavement Leave:

This is no excuse for missing work. There is nothing
you can do for dead friends, relatives or co-workers. Every
effort should be made to have non-employees attend the
funeral arrangements in your place. In rare cases where
employee involvement is necessary, the funeral should be
scheduled in the late afternoon. We will be glad to
allow you to work through your lunch hour and
subsequently leave one hour early.

 

Bathroom Breaks:

Entirely too much time is being spent in the toilet.
There is now a strict three-minute time limit in the
stalls. At the end of three minutes, an alarm will
sound, the toilet paper roll will retract, the stall
door will open, and a picture will be taken. After your
second offense, your picture will be posted on the
company bulletin board under the ‘Chronic Offenders’
category. Anyone caught smiling in the picture will be
sectioned under the company’s mental health policy.

 

Lunch Break:

* Skinny people get 30 minutes for lunch, as they need
to eat more, so that they can look healthy.

* Normal size people get 15 minutes for lunch to get a
balanced meal to maintain their average figure.
* Chubby people get 5 minutes for lunch, because that’s
all the time needed to drink a Slim-Fast.

Thank you for your loyalty to our company. We are here
to provide a positive employment experience. Therefore,
all questions, comments, concerns, complaints,
frustrations, irritations, aggravations, insinuations,
allegations, accusations, contemplations, consternation
and input should be directed elsewhere.

 

The Management
