Waiter: So, dude, since you're leaving soon anyway, how about leading our strike? That way, if the strike fails and they fire you, it won't really matter. What do you say? Zonker: Well, normally, man, I'd have to say no... Waiter: But? Zonker: But, I'm stoned. You've caught me at a good time.

Yeah, always wait until you’re good and buzzed before making important decisions. What could possibly go wrong?

When everyone takes up pot smoking all wars and violence would end. It is the ultimate weed of peace.

The strikers here are the bus boys. Do you really think they have different skillsets to apply for better jobs? Are YOU going to hire them?

Ben Ghazi?" Didn’t he star in the T.V. series “Run For Your Life”?
In an unrelated note: This line I remember from an old song, I believe done by a man named Daily(?) Pike… “If congress had joint sessions, then we would have some hope”

It’s obvious you don’t know how to be a cooperating member of anything. Who would want you?

after working on airplanes for my entire career (starting in the Navy)…….Contrails are caused by super-hot exhaust from the combustion process of the jet engine. It’s mostly water-vapor with less contaminants than come out of most car exhaust pipes.
Contrails size and length depend on moisture in the upper atmosphere. The dryer and colder the upper air, the contrail is small and disperses quickly. The warmer and moister the upper……..than you get long contrails that linger and some collect (just like actual clouds).
It is simple science and anyone who wants to believe the silly theory needs to really get a grip on their own life……..

Blame may be childish and non-productive, buta calulated cover-up is criminal.

I doubt the family, friends and co-workers of the four murdered Americans see your attempt of sarcasm.

There is no Benghazi coverup. You can’t uncover something when it wasn’t covered up to begin with. There have been multiple hearings on Benghazi. A tremendous waste of time and $ to continue down that path. There are many real problems in the world. Hunger in the US and elsewhere is a real problem. It is also a problem which could be solved. The fact that many will die of cancer is a real problem. Again, a problem which could be solved. These are real problems, not imaginary—and we could find solutions for them if we had the time, will and $ to do so. Let go of the petty and go forward.

@Guard SGTPlease read Zinn’s, A People’s History of the U.S., and get back to me. It’s a quick read.

If the “chemtrails” are true, then they are laid out at such an altitude that by the time anything reaches the earth, it has drifted hundreds if not thousands of miles from where it was laid. Even bombers in WWII left contrails. That’s all it is, just contrails as Nelly55 stated.

So…..if there are 24 states that have these “right to work” law, please explain why there are sooooo many people out of work???

Ben Ghazi? Wasn’t he that character actor that played opposite Patrick Swayze in Road House? :)

The only improvements in wages and condition I’ve ever received came from the efforts of the union, not the generosity of the employers. When the American economy has been strong, so was unionism. Read Paul Krugman in the NY Times.

I thought “Ben Ghazi” was a lounge singer at the Holiday Inn in Sioux City, Iowa. All he does is COVERS!!
Uncle Joe over 11 years ago
Ronald Reagan refused to call an attack on our embassy in Kuwait a terrorist attack. Obviously, there was a COVER-UP. We need an investigation and post-humous impeachment.And let’s not forget that over 300 Americans died in bombings of the embassy & marine barracks in Beirut. Instead of bringing the terrorists to justice, Reagan chose to cut & run.Then of course, there was Reagan’s generous support of Saddam Hussein.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_support_for_Iraq_during_the_Iran%E2%80%93Iraq_war

Yeah, I can see Zonker leading the pro-union rally:What do we want?MunchiesWhen do we want them?Now!

Ben Gah Zi.. Was that one person with three names or three people with one name.. Man I should not have eaten the brown acid……
montessoriteacher over 11 years ago
The fact that someone would suggest that the events of Benghazi are comparable to the watergate scandal speaks volumes about the state of mind of the right wing in this country. Wow. Talk about stoned…

When you got nothing else throw the race card. Maybe you missed the memo, all the race cards expired on 11-04-2008.

great for business, bad for workers. Union members are not goons. We are hard working, reliable American citizens.
kaffekup over 11 years ago
Actually, 11/4/08 brought a redoubling of the race card. I’ve never seen it more virulent, although the bearers understand they have to try to hide it with code words.
