AIG (That's Us) to Pay Its Ex-CEO's Legal Fees
Dobb's also debunked the myth that blacks were lazy and would rather collect welfare benefits than be employed. He covered the immigration raids in the South where ICE cleaned the illegals out of chicken processing plants. The owners of these plants were forced to hire US citizens or go bankrupt. After the raids the owners replaced their illegal workers with blacks who left the welfare rolls to obtain fulltime employment and a pay check. The owners were able to operate their business profitably without wetback labor.— November 30, 2009 9:48 p.m.
AIG (That's Us) to Pay Its Ex-CEO's Legal Fees
Dobb's in most respects is a carbon copy of Don Bauder, with the exception of immigration, which Don does not cover. As early as 2000, Dobbs began attacking Bank of America for handing out bank accounts, credit cards, and mortgages to illegal aliens who lacked social security numbers in violation of federal law. The illegals were given these products without having to prove income or assets, while Bank of America still required full documentation from citizens. Bank of America was committing felonies in violation of federal law yet nothing was done about it. Nobody listened to Dobbs. Mainstream media remained silent while illegals with $10 an hour jobs obtained $500,000 mortgages they could never hope to repay. The write-offs of credit card debts and mortgages attributable to illegals have cost the taxpayer hundreds of billions yet there has been no criminal prosecution of Bank of America managment and board members.— November 30, 2009 9:40 p.m.
AIG (That's Us) to Pay Its Ex-CEO's Legal Fees
Greenberg's payout could not have been made without the approval of the President. What the President is to receive from Greenberg and Wallstreet in exchange for this payout is anyone's guess.— November 30, 2009 9:20 p.m.
Can Feds thwart runaway exec pay?
re:#37: Burwell is not "thinking," he is "drinking." His Golden Rule is to avoid being caught peeing in the shower. SDaniels ============== She's out of control and getting worse I would advise her husband/boyfriend/girlfriend to give her a bitch whipping before the situation spirals out of control.— November 13, 2009 11:45 a.m.
Can Feds thwart runaway exec pay?
I'm not sure that the Golden Rule is relevant. Think about it: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." That means you are thrusting your own desires and predilections on the other people. ============= My Golden Rule is: "Do unto others before they do unto you."— November 12, 2009 10:36 p.m.
Blackwater OK'd $1 Million Hush Payments to Iraqis: Reports

Supreme Court Justice Asks: Who Passed Bribe?
From what I understand, it is fairly typical for 30% to 50% of newly hired firefighters to be the sons and daughters of existing Fire Department staff. There appears to be rampant corruption in the hiring process, with many applicants dodging nepotism rules through adoption. The sons of Fire Department management often go to court and arrange to be adopted by outsiders so their fathers can legally hire them without violating nepotism laws. The test questions are likely leaked in advance to favored applicants to insure they score high. Oral interviews are probably heavily stacked in favor of family members. A family member could likely show up drunk for the interview and still get hired. I'm convinced the SDFD is violating civil service laws by rigging the selection process to favor family members. The County Grand Jury should investigate hiring practices at the SDFD and identify firefighters who have been illegally hired so they can be fired.— November 9, 2009 10:21 p.m.
A Few Observations Over the Weekend
I too hated people who didn't know their pump numbers when I worked at Shell. ======== Gas tank toppers are the worst. They have to top their tanks with every last ounce of gas possible. They hand the cashier $60 in cash, pump $50 worth of gas into their tanks, and then walk back in and stand in line again to get their change. It should be illegal for a cashier to give a gas station patron change after the patron has pumped the gas.— November 8, 2009 10:52 p.m.
FIX THIS NEIGHBORHOOD
It is sort of like a block party, but there is one loud mouth that is almost constant. Then there are the arguments. Tonight several men were arguing about belongings. ========= You should try the Fire Department. They could send a pumper out and rout these bums by hosing them down the street with a fire hose and a concentrated stream of high pressure water.— November 8, 2009 9:48 p.m.
FIX THIS NEIGHBORHOOD
The only agency of government equipped to deal with this situation is the military. The homeless should be rounded up and removed from urban areas and placed in prison camps for their own good and for the good of society. They should be forced to live alcohol and drug free lives under strict military discipline and provided with a regimen of forced physical labor.— November 8, 2009 9:43 p.m.
