especially since there is no real way of knowing if it is the CEO/President of that company who sent that email. Unless the mgmt did an IP search and were able to tell it came from the company or Craigs known address, it could simply be a guy with the same name, an employee spoofing his bosses name, or just someone with a false/real name that happens to be the same as the other guy.

But if it were to be proven to be him and that the emails and responses were done on company time, enough pressure could be put on the board that he is fired, demoted, or warned to stop it on company time. We did just see what happened to the Geiko guy for similar stuff.

Even most CA companies, that deal with companies outside of the state, do not want their employees shedding negative light on the company. When they do, it hurts them in the only place companies care about, and that is their profit.

BTW,
How does a man not incure any injury during the fall, yet wind up in a wheelchair? I was watching the video and he was walking around just fine after the incident. People don’t immediately jump back up after falling down if they need a wheelchair. You will be exposed for using this man. I am sure Mr. Gaffney would have no problem letting his medical file for this incident be released so we know who the real liar is.

He does not have insurance. THAT IS THE FACT. Irony is lost on the ignorant, I guess that is why you do not get it.

My side won; your side lost. Now go howl into the wilderness for the next 7 years. It’s all you are good at.

OPEN COMMENTS: “if you don’t support HCR you’re not a Christian”

izoneguy (Diary) Thursday, June 3rd at 3:39PM EDT (link)

Wubben is a real piece of work:

http://thedanashow.wordpress.com/2009/09/15/open-comments-if-you-dont-support-hcr-youre-not-a-christian/

The majority of Americans want a public option (and 73% of physicians according to a survey of 6000 US physicians and surgeons – done by JAMA). Once democrats pass meaningful health care reform you know the conservative movement will be dead for a minimum of 2 to 3 generations. That’s why you are against health care as a right. My question to you as a self professed christian person is: Who would Jesus cover? The answer is everyone, and you know it. Either that, or you are not a christian. Or you are christian, but completely oblivious as to what that actually means. Here are the 10 reasons why the tea party movement is a complete failure. Hint: the economy always does better under a Dem president than a Republican president.

“the economy always does better under a Dem president than a Republican president.”

Obviously too young to remember Jimmy Carter.

I suspect he’s in love with socialized healthcare because he really, really needs the treatment for his mentally deranged condition.

“It’s such a fine line between stupid, and clever.” – David St. Hubbins

Not only that

aesthete (Diary) Thursday, June 3rd at 4:25PM EDT (link)

it’s a simplistic partisan jab. In the case of many of these Presidents, government was divided (i.e., Republicans controlled Congress under a Dem President, or vice versa). Seeing as how Congress actually makes our laws, it is more logical to contrast the partisan makeup of the Congress in question, and as one would expect, such an analysis is extremely ambiguous. More importantly, economies aren’t machines that you can turn on at the flick of a switch. One should examine policies, their predicted consequences before passage, and their actual outcomes, and in that case, most every long-term government program is lacking or in some cases, does the opposite of what was intended. Wubben’s not deranged, he just exported his thinking to a talking points machine.

“It is a popular delusion that the government wastes vast amounts of money through inefficiency and sloth. Enormous effort and elaborate planning are required to waste this much money.”
-P.J. O’Rourke

True, but even more revealing when you look at

The_Gadfly (Diary) Thursday, June 3rd at 5:15PM EDT (link)

the few times when all three branches were controlled by one party. Within my lifetime that has occurred with Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama. The first and last will be recorded as the epitome of Epic Fail. Bill Clinton almost made the epic fail, but in 94 he was failing so badly (first real push for socialized health care) Republicans were able to take control of the House for the first time in almost 40 years. Bush was a mixed bag, but not epic fail the way the Dems have been. And I’d argue that given the new dynamics of the Senate, it isn’t entirely accurate to describe anything since they borked Bork as either party controlling Congress until The Big 0.

I think they were all epic fail

aesthete (Diary) Thursday, June 3rd at 7:44PM EDT (link)

To pick on the Republican example, Bush would have been absolutely hated by conservatives, instead of being a subject of mild disappointment as he is now, had he stayed an isolationist and governed as Candidate Bush promised to govern. As it is, he was no friend to small-government types: government, regulation, and other measures of government expansion grew at an exponentially higher rate than under Clinton. I’d lump him in with Clinton as near-epic failure, only to have outside events (9/11 in Bush’s case) force them off of their original path to completely horrible government.

It’s incredibly silly to look at growth patterns based on the partisan makeup of government without looking at the policies which are credited, anyhow; governments are elected for different reasons and under different mandates. Bush II and Reagan, for instance, were elected for radically different reasons, as were Carter and Clinton.

Q: Who would jesus cover?

grateful_red (Diary) Thursday, June 3rd at 6:35PM EDT (link)

A: No one – he’d just miracle them better. His rescources are unlimited. Only morals need to decide who to ration care to.

Indeed, it's easy...

Frederick (Diary) Thursday, June 3rd at 7:03PM EDT (link)

…when you’re not limited by the constraints of economic scarcity.

Jesus, being God incarnate, is not limited by stark economic reality. Rather, he can simply “make it so”.

Obama and the Dems in Congress can’t do that.

Unless, y’know, he’s one of those guys who thinks that he really is the Obamessiah.

If you review each instance of miraculous healing, you will find that it was the acted-on-faith of the recipient, or a person close to the recipient, which was rewarded with a healing.

By example, the lepers were told to go show themselves to the priests and in that they acted on that instruction, found that they were cleansed in transit. The woman who had sufficient faith to act to touch his garment was likewise healed. Each healing story is similar.

This is an extremely important concept to understand in that we don’t need Christ on earth to be healed. It is our faith that makes us whole.

Here endeth the lesson for the day.

conservativecrusade (Diary) Thursday, June 3rd at 9:01PM EDT (link)

I must assume you are trying to be funny on your correction of right’s statement.

I missed the humor, which of courser would not be your fault but mine, as crudity used in his sentence is a noun meaning:

1 : the quality or state of being crude
2 : something that is crude

with the plural form being crudities (notice the “I” near the end)

And your corrected version of “crudites” being:

raw vegetables cut into bite-sized strips and served with a dip.

Not sure if you were trying to correct his terminology and failed, or if it was an attempt at humor which would go over my head just as most humor does.

Just wondering!
