Apologies if it makes Wombat homesick, but this is just tooooo goood: Chooka Parker - Australia's Got Talent 2011[Audition] - YouTube He also plays 'Variations on Fur Elise' that actually improves what Beethoven wrote - I'm just gobsmacked, truly.

Are you suggesting that it's the autoworkers who decide which signs are placed where? Or that when they do, [handmade signs], it is without the oversight of management? When I pull into a gate and the sign says "All trucks use Main St" without the slightest clue as to which way that might be...

So many Republicans have a genius for shooting themselves in the foot every time they open their mouths, I almost feel sorry for them. Nah, not really. Just like Romney & Ryan [Dumb & Dumber, IMO] they truly have no idea how wrong they are regarding what matters to the majority of American...

Dunno if it's Cantor's foreign policy, but it sounds like his petard - and he's pretty high up, lol. ;)

Humble doesn't need my help, but I'd like to say that if the concept of arguing a position opposite to your own beliefs is foreign to you, maybe you could try it sometime - it's good mental exercise. It's also good to 'stir the pot' when it gets a discussion going, as opposed to a flamefest -...

Wow: 20 cents per order!!! No wonder he decided to cut his workers' hours - that 20 cents added to what's essentially a luxury item could be a deal breaker for a large number of customers, I bet. Or, he could just put one slice of pepperoni less on his pies instead - anyone remember how much the...

Then I 'pologize for pokin - the deadpan expression was too convincing, lol.

Well, I guess they might believe a liberal Democrat if he's dead, eh? Hahaha - not even then, lol. :eek:

It would be, if it were true, which it ain't. Even I know the FBI wasn't investigating Petraeous, but "threatening emails" between other people, and one of them was the biographer woman, which led them to the affair. Four months ago, he wasn't remotely involved, much less under investigation...

Boycotting isn't my style - but I'd never want to work for any of them, either. Dead peasants? That's just utterly charming, innit?

It wasn't a rhetorical question, because an assertion was made that I find hard to believe [not impossible, mind you], but I'd rather not have to read through all the salacious details to find out whether it's warranted - so I asked. :D

It's not KMart I care about, it's all the small family owned businesses that treated their employees fairly that got run out of business by WalMart. Same with the local newspapers, because WM doesn't advertise locally and drove out everyone who did. We are not better off for it, either, IMHO...

So would a whole bunch of gays, lol - some for the 'protective coloration' and the rest because they have a warped sense of humor. Don't you just hate knowing that? ;)

Why are you asking us?! :p

I don't think any other company is WalMart, but I think a lot of them [too many] wannabe. WalMart led the way in cutting costs [labor being a huge component] in whatever ways they could find, even extending to some pretty unethical manuevers [such as taking out life insurance policies on entry...

I don't know if the resignation was held until after the election, [haven't been following it, sex scandals don't interest me that much], do you know whether it was? As for your contention that "extramarital affairs are typically inconsequential in the Democrat party", here's a half dozen...

Aristotle: if the guilty party were on the D side, any suggestion of handling it without public humiliation would be greeted with howls of protest - or laughter. The General should have considered the potential for humiliating himself and his family before he acted - no sympathy here. If he has...

Humble: that's every bit as nuts as businesses that figure out the cost [like cybersecurity] and then decide if they should do it or not. If every decision is solely about money, we're doomed. I agree w/ Pandora - there really isn't any evidence other than psychology to say transgender people...
