THANKS ALOT

Air Canada, in appreciation to workers who received top customer service remarks, is giving out bonuses. The awards, which are randomly doled out, consist of a $3.78 coupon for a hamburger. No word on whether there will be an option for super-sized fries.

STUPID CRIMINAL UPDATE
(See OCT 30 post - Calling all cars!)


Judge orders man to not do anything stupid and mean it. Unusual, yes, but this is the back story. Donald Sebastian, Cleveland, first got into hot water when he got busted for impersonating a US Marshall and pulling over speeding motorists. That wasn't the stupid part. He then called for back-up.

THE FOUR SORROWS

Succintly put, but sure to piss off at least half of you.

"Four sorrows, it seems to me, are certain to be visited on the United States. Their cumulative effect guarantees that the U.S. will cease to resemble the country outlined in the Constitution of 1787. First, there will be a state of perpetual war, leading to more terrorism against Americans wherever they may be...Second is a loss of democracy and Constitutional rights as the presidency eclipses Congress...Third is the replacement of truth by propaganda, disinformation, and the glorification of war, power, and the military legions. Lastly, there is bankruptcy, as the United States pours its economic resources into ever more grandiose military projects..." Read the whole essay.
