Well for what it's worth

Ken Burns devoted less than half of one episode of his entire chronicle of the Civil War, to slavery. I guess that makes him a hooded cross torching klanhead.

What is the age and tenure clustering?

Maybe Applebots are just out of 'Kewl U' so 84K is pretty damn good. On the other hand Google has scads of PhD's working for them. It's weird in a way that new companies actually tend to have older more experienced employees than older firms. At IBM the median tenure in 1996 was >15 years. Now it's <4 years. As a result, salaries tend to drop. Perhaps Apple is going through the same thing whereas Google is still on the upswing, organizationally wise.

The flipside of it, is that good companies to work for really do attract people who want to work for reasons other than money. I can think a bunch of companies who, if they offered me a job, I would demand screw you money up front just because they're a bunch of assholes.

Obama Himself

He should be his own running mate.

Wednesday, June 11, 2008 06:48 AM

I have to laugh

This is America so the probability of blood in the streets and gulags is rather low. Therefore there's an equally low likelihood that Maximum Leader Obama, Blessed be He will actually want or be able to make much of a difference at all. About anything. So around 2010 when the NEXT 2 year Presidential campaign goat rodeo gets cranked up - what will Obama's Krazy Kult here say when 99% of their hopes and dreams have been dashed against the walls like babies brains in the Warsaw Ghetto?

Nothing can ever make a difference. This is just cheap theater.

Wednesday, June 11, 2008 06:42 AM

Well, yeah.

We've been saying this for years. While the NBA isn't entirely crooked, it's not entirely legit and above board either. It's a business.

The last round of bloc F-16's sold to the Saudis

Was never even made available to the USAF. That's how advanced they were.

The US just signed a 'civilian' nuclear technology development cooperation agreement with the Saudis, this year.

The Saudis operate 3 of the most advanced AWACS platforms in the world, courtesy of the US.

The technology you speak of with Israel was actually developed by and in Israel. And it's purchased by the US for use in its own avionics.

France tried that

They tried to soak the wealthy with exorbitant taxes. Guess what they DID leave. And the net effect to the treasury is a $40 billion loss. Mostly they establish residency in Switzerland or Luxembourg or Monaco.

Wednesday, June 11, 2008 06:02 AM

No I think it's all wonderful

we should drop everything everywhere at all times and forget about what goes wrong here in the US. You're right, let's do that.

Chris Matthews needs a democrat he's unafraid to hate for 4 years

That's why he needs Obama to win. He's pumped his prostate dry over his Clinton hate and it's made him a very wealthy and popular powerful man. What's there to go all Freudian over McCain? Not much. He NEEDS a Dem for that.

Why stop there?

We should stop all use of animals on all medical research whatsoever for any reason. And since Bush quashed Federal funding for most of human stem cell research, we should end that too. In fact wouldn't this all go a long way to eliminating the health care crisis? Just stop 'doing' most medicine. Research, stem cells, vaccines, the whole gamut. It would certainly cut costs and make whatever's left of healthcare more affordable for the 30-40 years you have to live.

Moreover it has the added benefit of chasing all that work and all the people who do it out of the country. This way we can successfully unwind the social clock to the late 18th century, a pastoral peaceful world where man and woman and beast live in harmony as co-equals over the botanicals.

I am only about 40% kidding. I think imploding America will take some work, but it's worth it.

Tuesday, June 10, 2008 06:23 PM

No not really he doesn't

In fact he's telling you to suspend disbelief. He's telling you to "hope" not think, or evaluate or critique. Just "hope". He's the Captain and Tennille of the election: "Love will keep us together".

Well good luck and godspeed with THAT plan.

The same five people are going to get you the same garbage results

It's going to be someone 90% of you don't know, 5% worship and 5% hate. You're hanging an awful lot on the whole 'electability' issue aren't you? I mean was that not a bad a word when Clinton was in the race?

Tuesday, June 10, 2008 06:15 PM

Have you ever been to a Federal prison?

No of course not. I doubt you've been out of mom's basement in the light of day away from blogging. That would be too 'real'.

So please please carry on paul, be that guy.

Tuesday, June 10, 2008 06:14 PM

Well like I said

I challenge you to even pretend to give a shit for an American citizen convicted in an American court of a crime that's actually on the books. Of course you won't you'll split vague semantic hairs instead and weep and gnash for the lost of Gitmo. Bully fuck all for you.

Please continue being a paid agitprop.

Change the AMT or destroy America

Your choice. In the next few years, certainly within the Presidency of Maximum Leader Obama, more than half of all 'middle class' households will qualify for the AMT. Typically this can result in a 25-40% Federal tax increase for the average household which otherwise accrues normal deductions.

Go ask your CPA. I did. Those are insurrection numbers. Those are leave the US for a tax friendly nation numbers. Really they are.

Actually the Saudis have the 7th or 8th largest defense budget in the world

They spend more than 10% of their GDP on defense. Which is more than Israel, ratio-wise. They also own 30% of Citigroup as just one example. And when I say 'they' I mean the royal family.
