    Thought politics couldn't get any crazier?

    Well, yeah, because it's a Democratic school, not a Republican school. :D As for adults being able to separate fantasy from reality....

    Obama , you may want to see this.

    A Muslim, an illegal alien and a Communist walk into a bar. The barkeep says, "Hello, Mr. President!"

    Another deranged cop attacks

    You think the cop's fears were imaginary, yet you know with a high degree of certainty that the biker "accepted being handcuffed because he knew the violence that would be perpetrated upon his person had he not done so." That's impressive, to say the least. Incidentally, I have a fear that...

    Anyone tried this [cobra venom for pain] yet?

    I'm not a fan of new medications. I'd prefer any medication have at least 5 years of standard public clinical trials before I'll be a test subject. What is Nyloxin indicated to treat? Nyloxin is specifically indicated to treat back pain, neck pain, headaches, joint pain, migraines...

    Another deranged cop attacks

    It was about a deranged, deranged, I tell you, cop who attacked, attacked, I tell you, an armed motorist when he assaulted the motorist, aggravatedly, by allowing the motorist to willingly accept being handcuffed so that others reading about it can thoroughly confuse the terms "arrest" and...

    Ringtones for dispatch

    I use a snippet from this, starting at about the 15 second mark. :D

    I agree. The only issue, really, is the notifications of denials. Just an observation and suggestion. I had no idea that it was policy that we were supposed to be getting a notification anyway, and I was genuinely interested in knowing if there was a place we could look and see them. Now I know...

    I didn't name him until you did, and wouldn't have at all if I didn't read that he was readily available and just a phone call away. And it was Johnson. For sure. I asked for him specifically.

    No Soup (or Sandwich) for YOU!

    Snacking tourists fined after Rome declares 'War on the Sandwich' - World News By Claudio Lavanga, NBC News ROME -- It’s one of the highlights of any trip to Rome: Sitting on the Spanish Steps eating a real Italian gelato. But on Oct. 1, it became a potentially costly vacation memory. The...

    I was thinking (The OVM Effect) that since the requests come in via a macro, the computer could compile those into a daily report instead of someone having to do it manually. The report could be a database or Excel-based, but the main thing would be the approvals and denials could be done...

    Firing off an email to get an issue solved is one thing, as my issues were solved today with an e-mail (actually, three of them and a phone call), but going through the chain of command to resolve the small issues only results in treating the symptoms of the larger lack of communication cause...

    I can tell you that having layover or relocation pay denied is a rarity, at least for me. I've never had a relocation denied, although I've only had perhaps half a dozen of them. I try to make sure layover pay requests are accurate with dates and times, and so far they have been. Last thing I...

    Plans to print a gun halted as 3D printer is seized

    Not sure what you mean by "mechanical". They can print things with moving parts that that already moving when printed, no assembly required. Adjustable crescent wrenches, this thing, lots of stuff. A gun is nothing more than an assembly of parts, so at the very least you could print the parts...

    Another deranged cop attacks

    I would agree with him. But to dismiss or ignore a problem simply because it is a larger problem elsewhere is to accept and foster small problems that will invariably grow into bigger problems as the rest of the operation grows. Communicating, or inputting into the computer, information like...

    New Device Would Track Drivers So That They Could Be Charged

    Electric and hybrid cars don't buy much gas, hence no road taxes paid. They need to recoup that revenue somehow. Of course, Americans driving a bazillion fewer miles might also have something to do with the fact that no one has a job to drive to.

    I know others who have complained out it, too. I just love it when I'm told something utterly ridiculous that I know not to be true, and they hang tough with it, anyway. LOL And of course by then it's too late, gotta wait until next week. Mistakes happen, I understand that. I certainly make...

    When layover pay is denied, other than noticing that it didn't pay out, is there some place to look to see if it was denied, and the reason it was denied? Since the approvals and denials, and the reason for denials must be sent down to Admin, is there some reason the same message cannot be...
