Seems that he was leaving the IRS anyway….

Seems that Steve Miller’s acting appointment was limited and was up in June anyway..

‘It is with regret that I will be departing from the IRS as my acting assignment ends in early June,’ Miller wrote. 

Seems that some folks from the mideast were found trespassing AFTER MIDNIGHT in a restricted area around a reservoir.

But it’s ok, they were just students on a sightseeing trip…..

Nothing suspicious.

Yeah, right

I’m like, jugglin’ cats here.

SO the administration is claiming that the IRS targeting conservative groups (and, apparently, jews) is over, and steps have been taken to correct this oversight by management at the IRS.

Perhaps they are correct….

But until I see people fired for their actions, managers terminated for incompetence, people barred from government employment ever again for their complicity in this, and possibly jail time for these actions  and “oversights”, I won’t believe it.

Until we start coming down HARD on these sorts of actions, there will be more of them.
Until people go to jail and lose their comfy (and generous) government bennies and retirement, then there is no real reason for them not to do such things.

But you can bet that this will happen again….likely this was done at the behest of high government officials. Nothing was written down, I am sure, but you and I and most of the rest of the country believe that. 

I can’t wait for the abuses ObamaCare will make possible.

Now if they’ll only put cheese and chili in the buns, life will be perfect.

If you were as cynical about your government (not the government itself, mind you, just the people who operate and run it) as I am, then you might begin to wonder….

Wonder about the timing of the whole apology from the IRS regarding poor treatment of any group affiliated in any way with anyone vaguely right wing (or at least perceived as right wing by the leftists at the IRS) when applying for 501-c status.

You might wonder if the whole IRS apology is an attempt to divert us from the whole Benghazi “investigation” that is currently playing out in the halls of congress. Where the lying, prevaricating and dissembling is major league levels of professionalism in a politician. Where the man who smiles has figured out who he can pin the blame on. Where the cover up is king.

How much of the IRS revelation is an attempt to make the media (and therefore the majority of left wing voters and a significant number of their brethren on the right) just plain forget about the whole mess somewhere “over there in one of them darkies countries” that was Benghazi. The failure in leadership that many of us have known about, but that the press (and now some of, but not all, of the “low information voters”) are becoming aware of. The massive coverup by blaming a poorly known and distributed film that mocked Islam (sorta) all just before an election?

So ask yourself: Will we let them get away with it again? 

But some are good, some less so, and some, sadly, are not good at all.

You’ll find, here is the US, that the more rural, the nicer….the southerners are moreso than the northerners, and that east coasters and west coasters are less so than Misdwesterners.

But that isn’t always the whole story.

Apparently, in Russia, it is the same.

If you are in a service industry……:

Show the customer that you value his business….do what you promise to do.

Don’t tell him after he has cancelled the contract due to non performance. Show him before he leaves.

Afterwards, don’t apologize and tell him how much you value his business and want to make it up to him. Don’t make promises to do better. He won’t believe you.

Do better first, before you lose that customer. At least do your job.

When he calls you and tells you why he is unhappy, don’t blow it off. Don’t ignore him until he leaves, address his concerns before you get notice of cancellation of contract.

It is a LOT harder to fix things you should have dealt with after the customer gets mad and leaves.

And especially don’t ask how you could have done better. He told you BEFORE he left.

Yes, I am pissed.  (Cintas)

Cat lost after Sandy evacuation returns 6 months later.

Cool. Happy endings and all that.

life is getting in the way o blogging…

The alligators are rising faster than I can deal with them, and something has to give.

Maybe later.
