Being one of the responsibilities of the CEO is a very large and heavy. You should be able to take a lot of decisions that really do not bring disrepute. bridal accessories
I hear that the Bay to Breakers race in San Francisco wasn't taking any chances....prohibiting knapsacks! Good! That's what they should have done in Boston.
And speaking of "poison pills" (finally, eh?) did you hear about the attempted poisoning at a Starbucks in San Jose? It was very lucky for someone that the woman was caught trying to put containers of orange juice that had been tainted with rubbing alcohol inside of the Starbucks refrigerator. They caught the woman...probably just some kind of a grudge against Starbucks. Starbucks is just going to have to be nicer to people, I guess. Start having decaf already brewed so people don't have to wait. They never have decaf ready and have to make it special...Room for cream?
The woman must have fully known what she was doing because she has degrees in chemistry and worked as a chemist for many years. There was a lethal dose of rubbing alcohol in those containers of orange juice according to authorities. Don't drink the orange juice!!!
I think we should ban all rubbing alcohol...or at least before someone can buy a bottle they have to take a psychological exam and be licensed as well as having to pay big bucks for insurance. In another case, students tried to poison their teacher with hand sanitizer...yup..rubbing alcohol....ban it. Ban all hand sanitizer before it is too late!
DAnnemarc: Actually, it sounds like a Manchurian Candidate post hypnotic suggestion. And, of course, the word "fate" and "face" could very well be taken both ways. "Just do as you are told..." interesting. I kind of wonder if many of these people that have done violent things..like shoot up people in a theater or in schools...or even the BM bombing weren't triggered by post hypnotic suggestions. You didn't think MKULTRA died back in the 70s, did you? Even those 911 hijackers could have been hypnotized/drugged using MKULTRA techniques or maybe just simply duped into being patsies...not knowing, of course, that they were being set up. They may have thought they were just going to some meeting somewhere. Box cutters my A....!
2950-10K ~ You are so right. Never looked at it that way! Thanks for setting me "Straight." LMFAO Good night to all!!
Count me in!................ Last Cinco De Mayo I attended an Occupy event. Actually, now that I recall, it was Uno De Mayo but it had the same enthusiasm.
Palindromedary ~ Interesting perspective.! All the lyrics look fine to me except one critical one.
"All I did was listen to the face. I blew up the ..."
Not so my friend. What I remember clearly when I was 25 years old was, "All I did was listen to the fate's, I blew up the ..."
Makes more sense to me when combined with the lyric, "...the voice inside my head said, 'Do what you are told'".
Google Spymasters are now worried about your secrets:

But..I see that .ren has posted something about this on Thoms Community blog
Viva the spirit of Cesar Chavez and Delores Huerta on the coming occasion of Cinco De Mayo! (Cesar Chavez day was on March 31). They had it right...boycott!
DAnneMarc: In reply to yesterday's blog, #47......You're right, Kend is sort of like a cat toy, we all kind of paw him around. I also think with Kend there's a progressive trapped inside and he deals with it by hanging out on Thom's blog. It's kind of like a gay man trapped in a womans body....it's all good!
DAnnemarc: I pretty much have to read the lyrics...just can't understand the words. The audio has to be pretty good with no background noise for me to understand the words. I could run it through Audacity and tinker with it but I haven't had much success doing that. I can sometimes use Audacity to turn a noisy unintelligible youtube lecture into something that I can sometimes understand....remove the background noise..use various filters...speed up or slow it down. VLC media player can manipulate the audio for many things I normally have problems understanding. Unfortunately, captioning of youtube is pretty bad and is rare anyway.
I agree, the bipartisan immigration bill is a bad idea, in fact I would call it mean spirited. I can't help but think the Republicans must fear how these immigrants will vote once they become citizens. I'm sure many of them have been treated like crap, to say the least, in the workplace. So as Loren Bliss already pointed out many are naturally into the labor activism movement. I wonder if they'll be allowed to vote while on probation?
Thanks for clearing that up, chucke8! By the way, I've been wondering...is chuckle8 supposed to be a play on the word chocolate? Palindromedary is, of course, a Dromedary Camel with two opposing heads and no behind. I suppose if it were on a cigarette package there would be two ladies in evening gowns instead on just one. But I don't smoke..not for many decades.
OMG ~ In this live version of the song:

They added, "Check our George Bush floating out into space, ... " LMFAO
DAnnmarc: I read the lyrics because I couldn't understand the words very well in the song.

Now, that's just so....so...radical! ;-}
That should have been : Almost sounds as if we should get rid of homo sapiens.
Palindromedary #26 -- Almost sounds as if we should get of homo sapiens. Not to worry, the carbon corporations are carrying out that mission.
I heard this story on TV, I think! This Iowa Pig Farm had these two illegal aliens working for them, among others, and the two illegals had an accident...a very bad accident..and the Pig Farmer took them to the Iowa Methodist Hospital for treatment. The medical staff at the hospital pumped them full of drugs..pain killers?..then put them on a plane and shipped them to a hospital in Mexico. Now, I'm sure that was a really very Christian thing to do! Wasn't it? The Iowa Methodist Hospital dumped their problem in Mexico. Maybe the Mexicans should reclaim Iowa as well..oh, excuse me...I mean the Indians should reclaim Iowa.
Ken Ware -- I think I have asked this question before, but I can't be sure. Do you listen to Thom? Thom agrees with Romney use eVerify aggressively. Thom and I think after 2 or 3 CEOs go to jail the problems you describe will be gone.
What happens when you play the movie, The Shining, forward and backward at the same time on the same screen?
They did this at a film fest and had some remarkable results...strange! The web site shows some really strange (coincidental?) photos of the results.

Now, if they only would do this to the movie The Exorcist. Le Plume da ma tante, eh, Dimme? But, of course, anyone who remembers that movie knows that there was a part, within the movie, that had a recording of what that "little angel" said. So the idea of playing the entire movie backwards and forwards at the same time might produce some interesting results?
I wonder what we would see or hear if they played one of Hartmann's shows backwards and forwards at the same time...or even just backwards? There is a group of people who believe that, when they listen to someone speak backwards, they can hear things that were not supposed to be heard. Like the truth instead of the lies they are telling. They listen to various politicians and other and claim that they are saying things backwards that are meaningful dialog. Then again there are other people who believe in "remote viewing". Let me give it a try...wait a minute...let me remote view what DAnnemarc is doing right now. Yes, Yes, I can see him now...why, I know exactly what he is doing right now...he's reading this blog! Man, it works!
Palindromedary wrote ~ "...Goodbye Texas..."
LMFAO! Back when I was in College I got a chance to see a new group called "The Boneshakers," at my student union for free. One of the songs they wrote/sung was called, "I Blew Up The United States." The chorus of that song went: "Little bits of Texas floating out into space, I blew up the United States." I never forgot how funny that sounded. G. H. W. Bush was in office at that time and I couldn't help but think he inspired the song. Ah, how I miss real music.
DAnnemarc: I thought you might have done that on purpose to demonstrate a point..it worked for me..I couldn't understand it at all!
Actually, I would be in favor of rounding up every last "immigrant" who came here illegally, no matter when they came...say within the last 10 or 20 years, and ship them, and their children (even if they were born here) back to where they came. This would send a shock, a wake up call, to anyone, in the future, that thinks that all they have to do is to sneak over here, and have their babies born as citizens of the US. I think the laws should be changed that people born in the US, unless their parents are here legally, will not be considered US citizens by birth. That would take the steam out of people wanting to come here. The way it is, and will probably continue to be in the future, there is no "moral hazard" ...just like banksters and wall streeters will continue to repeat their wrong doings and continue to get away with it...the illegal aliens will continue to play the game until the US gets tough and stops being a push over. Those who we deport, who may have lived here for a while should be given an opportunity to seek legal residence in the US. But anyone who tries to come here illegally, in the future, should be permanently banned from the US for a long period of time.
Either that, or the US should give back all those territories that it stole from Mexico in the first place! ;-] Goodbye Texas!...Goodby California! ;-} And while we're at it...we should give back to the Indians all of the land that we stole from them! ;-} We should have a forced march...a new "trail of tears" of all the greedy politicians and businessmen and force them to all march to Mexico and make them all swallow the worm...and live in little squalid adobe huts for the rest of their lives! Then we should run the film in reverse, go back and kiss King George's butt and apologize for being such revolutionaries, pay our taxes, then run the film back even further and assassinate that sick bastard Christopher Columbus and all those proselytizing hypocrites that came after (requires a little jigging of the film forwards and backwards so as not to miss any of them sick bucks (that's a "b" as in male deer).
Palindromedary ~ Roughly translated that is bad grammer for "The grammer was so shocking I will have to read the post over again to get what they were trying to write about."
Sorry! Bad joke! LMAO
Palindromedary wrote ~ "They can watch those WTC towers collapse, at near free-fall speed, in their own footprints just like in any other demolition and they can't see with their very own eyes that the official government conspiracy theory is a lie. I guess Americans love to be lied to and don't mind being gullible."
No, Palindromedary! The American people don't like being lied to anymore than you or I. The problem is cognitive dissonance. Once people admit to themselves that the official story is a lie they are presented with a set of responsibilities that they have to accept in order to proceed. Those responsibilities are so threatening to their current comfort level that they simply choose to believe the lie. Follow the path of least resistance if you will. The powers that orchestrated these deceptions count on that human flaw--the same way con artists operate. They tell you what you want to believe.
I've experienced this effect all my life--most notably in the Vietnam War. The majority of people in this country believed the war was completely necessary. They were willing to send their very own children off to die in a foreign land for a reason they could not even explain clearly and logically. Put simply, they were too comfortable to complain.
Basically, that is what it is going to take to effect change--massive, wide-spread discomfort. Only when the witnesses experience the pain of the victims will change begin to occur.
Keep up the good work buddy.
Could you translate that? ;-}
