Checkout the news section, its todays..

Off topic, but scroll down and notice the story about the woman that was stabbed to death in her home. She called police the night before it happened and they never showed up! I can't help thinking that she is another victim of gun control

This is a quotation from Lord Acton, in a letter to Bishop Mandell Creighton, 1887:

"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men."

he could just vote Present

werked fer the Pres. of the U.S.

delta13soultaker · 05-09-2009, 08:21 PM

Don't make me CIA director unless you want some people fired. Only about 10% of your public servants in that agency even speak a second language. In my opinion that is absolutely sub-standard with their occupation in mind.

artabr · 05-09-2009, 08:25 PM

Dang, I just reread this thread for the first time since the day it was originally posted.

Looking at the latest list I see that yall have me as Sec. Def.
I think it must be a typo, as Delta would make a much better Defense chief than I ever could.

Now as Sec of State I could make Deltas job a little easier. Push button baby!!

Go ahead and clean house, delta... *passes the broom*

delta13soultaker · 05-09-2009, 09:26 PM

Where I worked none of use began with any 2nd language. They just tested our aptitudes, gave use deadlines, and Rosetta Stone.

I can't fathom any excuse the CIA may have.

4EvrLearning · 05-09-2009, 10:12 PM

Rosetta Stone! My daughter used that for German...cool program. Surprised you didn't go to DLI, delta....

Newsweek named Bernanke 4th most powerful person in the world. I'd have to say he's closer to #1. The valuation and distribution of currency which acts as the world's monetary standard earns him a power much higher than even our President. Again, I'll restate the previous quote...

Think about that quote and what it means. When you really consider it, the controller of the money controls the country unequivocally...

Yes, it works.

It's a matter of pride (ego) in some organizations to procure things their own way.In some organizations, if you are enabled with a resource/time and given a specific measurable task and with no-later-than time, it will behove you to meet the standard.

Seriously, if you don't demonstrate proficiency, DLI or a contractor is exactly where you'd go.

armedandsafe · 05-10-2009, 12:55 PM

I REALLY should have been checking in here more often. I don't remember signing up for the draft.

Prez, eh? that should be interesting. CEO of all the government Agencies? That could be FUNNNNNNNNNNNNN! Where's my Pirate's hat? Who's got the S&Cb flag? Nail that plank down tight, fellows, it's gunna get some use.

Gotta ROPE?

Pluck some more chickens and put in an order to Standard Oil. Two tankers should be enough to get started.

And, of course, the nubile lass on my arm to cheer me on.
