The winners of War Room's 2008 bumper sticker contest.
  • Tim....put away your Republican suppositions....

    Some of those who took the time to respond to your contest weren't just driving down August productivity...

    Some of them are UNEMPLOYED...

    Too old to have a 20-something HR person pass their resume along.

    Too experienced to rate a job at the pitiful salary employers want to pay in companies where experience loses out to cheap "junior level" hiring.

    Too "outsourced".

    Too "off-shored".

    I know you were just being flip...and if I weren't trying to figure out how I am going to pay my electric bill, I, too, probably would have been looking through your "everyone is employed like me" glasses. However, to some without the intellectual stimulation of work...without the social interaction of the workplace...in between resume blitz's, a few minutes of "Saloning" IS the day's productivity.

    And that's your sensitivity training for the day. Say you're sorry.
