When a man tells you that he got rich through hard work, ask him: ‘Whose?’
You want funny? You want humor and cheap thrills? Have at it:
That is from a site that I occasionally visit to check out the latest insight on officespeak. And I would say this in particular is an accurate picture of client relations. Go to the site now. Immediately. Go now young one.
…was not what was ordered for me at the medical supplier. Instead, they ordered the Armor. NOT what I wanted at all. The first guy I saw didn’t seem to be very helpful (the one who ordered it up for me). He seemed to assume I wanted something other than what I wanted.
This whole process is starting to get under my skin. I should have been working with this brace already, but will now be two weeks short of where I should be. I’m ANNOYED. But, other than that bit of inconvenience, the insurance company is paying for the brace 100% so that’s good. Plus, the person I saw today was very helpful.
Just wanted to get that off my chest, but it didn’t help. I’m still annoyed. On the progress front, the doc says everything is looking good and I won’t see him until September, which should be near the end of my rehab. Fantastic.
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.
The Internet is like alcohol in some sense. It accentuates what you would do anyway. If you want to be a loner, you can be more alone. If you want to connect, it makes it easier to connect.
They address a bit of a straw man here when they criticize the right’s criticism of Obama’s machinations. With me at least, the problem isn’t that Obama is contributing to an ever larger deficit in a way that has been unseen before, it is the plan to start up brand new entitlement programs that will continue to force the government to run a deficit larger than we see now–unless they raise taxes significantly anyway.
I’m not a big fan of the government raising more capital than is necessary to fulfill constitutional obligations, and I would say we’ve gone far beyond our obligation to the federal government.
In spite of our machinations, we continue to lose money, jobs, and inflation is probably about to burst forth with a furry. We should not be shocked to learn then that we are bleeding jobs; we are shedding them in order to reach some new equilibrium while our economy attempts to recover. But, uh…the thing is, I thought the President, and Congress, had a plan for that? You know, the trillion dollar stimulus. Remember how that was supposed to save or create over 3 million jobs?
I’ll tell you, I’m still waiting. I feel as though the numbers used to sell this plan were fudged a bit. No, I don’t just feel it, I know it. Their plan was to print a bunch of money, create a ton of debt and feed it into the economy in order to give it a bit of a kick start, but their plan never really pumped money into anything. As passed, it was more of an entitlement package; and now, everything they do is an effort to get an agenda shoved through. Universal healthcare, take overs of industry and banking, etc. The left is pushing hard, and they claim that all of this is just about turning the economy around, not radically altering the face of our political system.
This video in particular is an apt criticism of the plan’s claims of employment figures if the stimulus passed versus not being passed.
A pretty decent list of places to find some great public domain photography.
In a broader context, such a decision [the decision to delay the sale] would also give the justices an early opportunity to consider the scope of the wide-ranging but not unlimited authority that Congress granted the president to address the economic crisis.
In many ways I hope that this is exactly what gets examined; the government is exercising powers it has not been granted by law and that needs to be reined in. The downside to this delay, as mentioned in the article, is that the sale might not go through, thus forcing the company into liquidation and towards its demise. The face of the muscle car may be no more. Strange times.
I found a few photographs of a dissected knee–as opposed to the usual illustrations; it is a little strange looking at these photos, but it gives me a good idea of what happened to my own knee and what was being replaced. Mild content warning due to the nature of the photographs.
