Nope - undocumented workers.

Cheaper.

Well, the union guys will show up too.. or have someone punch their
timecard. Either way, once they get to work, they won't do ****...

We watch the town crew last season picking up leaves.. After watching
6 of them basically stand around a vacume truck for a couple of hours,
I got talking to them. They were laughing because a battery on the rig
kept going down on charge every time they had to restart the machine.
Every time it went down, they would shut down the machine and one guy
would go off to make a call. A half hour later, a supervisor and his
assistant would come out, then call the "mechanics" from the town
garage to bring a fresh charged battery (two more guys, another truck)
and they would come and change it and take the other back to charge.
The guys were having a blast laughing because they didn't just bring
the charged batts back every hour or so.. Our street is about 100
yards long with piles of leaves in front of each of the 20 or so
houses.. It took them three days to complete the street.. Turns out
they were trying to get the town to hire two new guys in case things
ever got behind...;)

I believe McCain's age, coupled with his four bouts of cancer, make
his health a serious issue.

As for Palin's decision, I think it was the wrong one.

Doesn't matter. She made the decision she thought was correct for her
and her family. What does matter is that she had the courage to MAKE
that decision, and to deal with the consequences.

So how has Obama been tested in a life-or-death situation?

TJ


Why should that matter? Again, you seem to be going down the road that
says certain "experiences" are important. I'm more interested in
judgment. McCain has voted with Bush 90% of the time. That is bad judgment.

Judgment comes from experience. You aren't born with it, and it doesn't
magically come to you at a certain age. Since there is no candidate this
year with presidential experience, other experience must be used to
gauge what their judgment might be. If you have had no experience in a
certain area, you can't know what you would do in a similar situation.
You can THINK you know, in the warm light of calm rationality, but when
the decision is actually there and you're the guy who has to make it,
things suddenly look much different.

Someone who has been tested in a life-or-death situation is more likely
to have good judgment in another one, like being Commander-in-Chief,
than somebody who hasn't. It is how true leaders are forged.

That's been my experience with non-union hands, and that's why we're a
non-union shop. Call any of my customers and you'll hear nothing bad about
the quality of my work.

Can't. Overqualified.
Hmmm - how about Under-Secretary of the Navy as soon as I establish
the Corps as the Parent Agency? :)
That would **** off quite a few people.

Change the name of the Annapolis finishing school to the United States
Marine Corps Academy. Replace the docks with ramps. Get rid of the YP's
and replace them Expiditionary Fighting Vehicles. Make the Severn River
a free fire zone, declare open season on rag merchants. Rename the Blue
Angels to the Green *******s.

I like it except for the last one. I think Green Airedales would be
more appropriate. And we have to get the Squids proper uniforms -
none of those pansy bell bottoms and those stupid paper cup hats.

Well, your in - Secretary of the Marine Corps it is. :)

I was in the Wing. Remember, Swing with the Wing :)

Oh? That's an interesting thought, but I doubt it would apply to John
McCain. He's already demonstrated his poor judgment.

You have to have a certain amount of intelligence, eh? That would
exclude "Mike" and his crew of porti-potti refurbishers.

LOL!

Present and accounted for.
I guess I just have a strange, unique view of what the POTUS is and what
he/she have as responsibilities.

McCain could have built a very respectable and strong team. * He chose
rather to enhance his electibility.
It would have been ok if the VP selection had been someone with experience.
But, he chose a complete newbie, trying to work his "maverick" reputation.

What I want to know is why Obama hasn't introduced legislation in the
Senate to address any of his "issues" in his two years in the Senate?

Simple.

He's been too busy running for President. * :-)

Richard, you nailed it!

Seems that Illinois hasn't noticed him gone. or should I say, haven't
noticed him being here.
