POPSCorporations in Brain Drain - Will Boomers Help?
Quote excerpt: "Companies historically haven't been proactive in getting older workers to train younger workers to do their jobs. " It is my (humble) opinion that the work ethics of the younger workers have changed over the years. When I walk by a (younger) worker's desk and see them surfing the web or iPhoning, iTuning and iChatting on company time, it pisses me off. Whatever happened to asking a co-worker who is swamped, if they could use some help? It's called "Team Work" and I haven't seen much of it coming from the younger crowd. I also see more bully attitudes. Those of us that have been working our asses off over the years don't appreciate this attitude in the work place nor do we have time to deal with it because we're 'busy.' Hello? And what's this crap excuse "It's not my job," or "that isn't in my job description." I had one young gal working with me, in college, bright and intelligent and took initiative. Quick learner. However, everything she did

POPSLYING FORWARDS FROM THE RIGHTWING My niece sent me this email and asked me the following... Hey Aunt C, Somebody sent this to me and I know you are fantastic at finding the truth, so is this true or some republican trying to change peoples votes. Thanks, (Niece) LINK HERE: http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/taxes.asp Hi, (Niece). it is completely false... Thanks for asking... I wish that others would question this baloney the republican rightwing sends around to the naive, who mindlessly accept these stupid forwards as the truth... A sad America, where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, (and the middle class continues to disappear) is the result of such irrationality... The very ones who get hurt by these forwards are the ones who would probably be helped if the wealthy, whether they be individuals or corporations were forced to pay their share of taxes, instead of getting tax breaks that the republican party keep giving them. http://thinkingblue.blogspot.com

POPSNo Tax Increase Needed for Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid... If Congress were to act responsibly (yes, an oxymoron), it would hold down the growth of spending, as was done in the late 1980s and late 1990s, and eliminate those government programs that do not meet a reasonable cost-benefit test. As has been shown before, such actions would quickly eliminate the deficit.

POPSAlcee Hastings - Senile ? Or Just Too Old ? Doctors say one of the first signs of an elderly person going senile is when an old person starts to repeat themselves over n' over again, about the same thing. In 2004 (right before election time as usual) Alcee Hastings, just like this week in August 2008, warned government officals to be on the lookout for “official misconduct, deliberate fraud and an attempt to suppress voter turnout by unlawful means”, said Congressman Alcee Hastings. The same old “Boy Who Cried Wolf” routine from 71 year old Alcee. But in this election, the same ole scare tactic isn’t going to pass muster or work out very well for Hastings in 2008. I'm on to you Hastings, so I say, "Let's look into lobbying Congress for monies to fund the construction of a retirement home for old and washed-up politicians"

POPSHastings has lost touch, U.S. House rival Sanchez says Isn't that the way Hastings' election game is always played? He shows up every few years in town to try and get people's votes. The rest of the time he's a ghost somewhere across the sea eating caviar and lobster. Psssst ! Alcee - I don't think its going to work this time as your clock is ticking ! Yep, soon you'll be looking for a new gig in the private sector. Might I suggest applying to Liars n' Cheats Anonymous ! Or going to work for Congressman "My house and family is in Maryland but my primary residence is in some 55 years and up Florida retirement communiy that I stay at once a month, maybe" ROBERT WEXLER, your buddie ! Can you say "RETIREMENT" ?
