I go on working for the same reason a hen goes on laying eggs.-
So much for that job …
Below is a joke sent to me by a friend, Stan (aka Stan the Man), an alum at my alma mater who is old enough to be my father, or on a bad day, an older brother.
Stan’s a good guy. He likes to keep busy in real life, and when he isn’t busy, you can tell: he sends tens of email messages, some with photos, some with jokes, others with videos or PowerPoint presentations, and some, well, they have a subject line warning you of “how bad” the content may be, starting with a rating of R, if I recall a message from months ago correctly. You have to appreciate someone who is willing to tag potentially “offensive” messages in the subject line – whether for your own preferences or due to workplace restrictions.
Barack Obama’s campaign running scared in Philadelphia
Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL), a Democratic presidential hopeful longing for the Democratic National Committee’s blessing as its candidate for the 2008 ticket, is outspending Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) at a rate of $3 for ever $1 Clinton is spending on advertising.
A lot can be said about such spending. When I commercials on the local channels are airing Obama commercials are on at least three times each hour, it’s enough to make a person sick, and “consumer advocates” complain about cereal and junk food ads aimed at children. When the mailman brings my mail, at three out of six days a week for the past almost three weeks now, there are at least two Barack Obama glossy, four-color junk mail. Yes, there’s something to be said of the feelings of “desperation” his campaign must be feeling to spend money in a way the senator from Illinois says he would curtail as president. Right.
