I find it hard to see how this is theft.

I mean, if you are gonna give me money, expect me to take it.

Armatys accepted a job with Basking Ridge, N.J.-based telecommunications company Avaya Inc. in September 2002, then changed his mind. But the company’s computer system never removed his name from the payroll.

Paychecks were deposited into his bank account until February 2007, when Avaya auditors discovered the mistake.

Seems that they are charging him with theft.

I think it’s just too bad for the company.

Via Hoosierboy comes THIS..

Slanted? Yes. Factual? More or less. Scary? You bet.

But that is what “Hope and Change” was all about. Hoe all of those who voted for it choke on it .

As Caleb says…”Well Played” even though this photo was most likely staged, the whole thing with the Pig Sickness Vaccine and the failure to ramp up production or to distribute it in an orderly fashion (like say to high risk folks first…) or with even a bit of forethought (perhaps there is a bit of forethought, but the distribution appears to be highly haphazard…)

If the vaccine distribution is any indication of the effectiveness of the way that the government will operate our healthcare then we should all be afraid…..Very very afraid (like we weren’t already…)

So I had a great time at the Indy Blogmeet. Thanks to whomever (Roberta??) set it up. I always enjoy meeting people who are intelligent witty and interesting. Everyone I met on Sunday afternoon met all those criteria…

Had an interesting discussion with OG, met Brigid (finally!!!) who is as interesting in person as her writing is, Tam (who I had met the day before, but is SO fun to talk to (and tall, BTW)), Owen, Jay (an interesting fellow, I assure you), Old Grouch and I had an interesting discussion of the psychological profiles of the folks carving pumpkins outside (there were some fairly disturbed folks, adult and children using fairly sharp objects….. Glad I was armed…)

Wayne (I think) was open carrying, and no one really cared (except that it was, I think, a Glock, which is sacrilege to those of us who are disciples of JMB, but even so, it was a Good Thing). I have a feeling that the rest of us were carrying concealed (maybe I was, and maybe I wasn’t….???) but I doubt that there was a lack of lead and brass in the room…

I think that Og did not mark his territory on my Prius…..

All in all, I really enjoyed the blogmeet. If I had been able to leave the gunshow earlier, I would have, just to be able to spend more time with these folks….

If you can make a blogmeet with these people, I strongly urge you to do so.

I gotta update my blogroll too…

than health care…..

But it seems that the DNC and the Socialized Medicine folks don’t want to let anyone know that.

Much like the profit margins of the Evil capitalists oil companies that were the bad boys last year, the Heartless bastards Health Insurers have low profit margins. You are better off investing in a LOT of other industries.

TO all of you I had met before: It was nice seeing you again….I met even MORE interesting people (that is….a larger number of interesting people and others whom I did not meet last blogmeet, not people who were more interesting than the people I met last time) at this latest blogmeet. It was fun and interesting….

If you can make a blogmeet in Indy, I strongly urge you to do so..

More tomorrow, I am tired after pushing Strike-Hold on people all weekend at the Indy 1500.

Again, It was nice meeting you all….

Via Insty I bring you THIS…..I am sure you have seen it already, but just in case…… I want to make sure everyone sees it.

Seems that the liberal folks at MSNBC really can’t tell one black guy from another….I mean, “they all look the same to me”….right?

And the look on the Rev. Jackson’s face is priceless.

I mean, while I really don’t like either one of them, I can tell them apart. And I am a white guy…..But Sharpton and Jackson are as unalike as the Rev. and myself. Suppose she isn’t sure what Sharpton looks like?

Up next: Don King Al Sharpton Eddie Murphy

I will be at the Indy 1500 Gun Show….Stop by the 3 PartSupply.com table and introduce yourself. I’ll be the taller guy with a pony tail.

Via Bore Patch…..

“Something very strange is happening in the Scientific community right now – something healthy. We see a rejection of Received Wisdom, and in particular of Received Wisdom imparted by a closed circle of the anointed few. We see demands to see the data behind the theory of Anthropogenic Global Warming (the assertion that mankind’s burning of fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, triggering a runaway temperature increase)……”

As the man says…Read the whole thing.

It’s what I have been saying for years. Real science can withstand being held up to the light, and can withstand having its data reviewed.

If the models are so good, then why can’t we plug in data from the ’50’s, ’60’s, ’70’s ’80’s and 90’s and get something resembling today’s climate (check it out, you don’t get anything like this years temperatures). So the models MUST be flawed.

But that doesn’t seem to convince those who have drunk from the Kool-Aid glass of the ALGORE Church….Which I would not normally mind except that they are screwing with our economy and inconveniencing me greatly with no real proof that their messiah is correct. How many MILLIONS of dollar, (or Euro equivalent) have been spent on pseudoscientific research and half baked ideas to slow the (probably) nonexistent global warming?

Make no mistake, I run a diesel truck on used fryer oil, and my other car is a Prius….I hate waste, and I am cheap thrifty enough to recycle (that means re-use, not just throw in a container for someone else to deal with) nearly everything but toilet paper and toothpaste.

But I really don’t think that the effort, capitol, and energy we waste on pursuing the global warming rabbit is productive, unless you think that keeping AL Gore’s days busy with speaking engagements and a bunch of half assed “scientists” busy doing pseudoscience and pursuing government grant money as productive.

But hey, I am a skeptic

WTF?

Subsidies for GOLF CARTS? YaGottaBeKiddinMeHere

“We thought cash for clunkers was the ultimate waste of taxpayer money, but as usual we were too optimistic. Thanks to the federal tax credit to buy high-mileage cars that was part of President Obama’s stimulus plan, Uncle Sam is now paying Americans to buy that great necessity of modern life, the golf cart.”

“The federal credit provides from $4,200 to $5,500 for the purchase of an electric vehicle….”

Will wonders never cease…Another WTF? moment from the government….

And these people are the type that will be handling health care….Wasting our money.
