Yes even a jerk like Sterling is entitled to privacy. The details of who released this tape and why are a mystery. A enraged wife seeking almost 2 million in gifts given by her husband? A publicity seeking piece of excrement who accepts outrageous gifts for a sexual favors... A clown recording material hacked from cellphones.
Many of you out there might fare just as poorly if selected parts of your conversations were released to the media.
The punishment was excessive, but for practical matters it is best if the team was sold. The commissioner should now consider lifetime bans for players who associate with criminal gangs. It should also consider season long bans for players making bigoted remarks.

Pothead Logic
Lefties claim Maureen Dowd is not antisemitic for her repeated use of antisemitic imagery in her writings about neocons. They trot out the usual Jewish lefties to make rather inane defenses of her writings that appear to be influenced by the Protocols of the Elder of Zion.
The same lefties claim Pro Israel radio host Glenn Beck is anti Semitic for accurately quoting George Soros
and describing his bio. Funny, but Soros is so unwelcome in the actual Jewish community he had to hide his funding of J Street.
Once again lefties make zero sense. In order to understand the logic of the left one must take regular bong hits.
Jewish leftists, are feigning ignorance as it appears Pseudostinian clowns violated a basic concept of privacy and targeted Jewish students with parody eviction notices in several Universities. This is an invasion of private space. No doubt if the Conservative groups placed the writings of Ann Coulter under the door of Marxist Moron Activists the imbeciles at higher ed would be calling this a hate crime.
Allegedly, Harry's Place is supposed to cover this type of story. Instead the so called American correspondent Gene has turned the site into Obama Cult HQ for America haters who love Obama. Of course when lefties go haywire and stereotype Texans and rural folk Gene remains silent. In the age of Obama fealty to the savior requires regular bong hits and Jonestown Kool Aide.
As my Guyanese relatives say " When Americans come to me country take they money, but no powdered beverages".

Who was that masked pot head?
We are approaching the end of the great joke perpetrated by the University and Big Media far left elite. The damage to the country will be real and lasting.We are going to learn a great deal about the incompetent pot head Barack Obama.
From what we can glean from publicly available records. Barack Obama Sr and the space cadet mother of Barack Obama were never married. No record of such a union ever took place. No photos of the marriage took place. There is zero evidence they spent one day as a couple under the same roof. There are zero people who even remember space cadet Dunham with Alcoholic libertine Barack Obama Sr as a couple. Obama was the product of a one night stand gone awry. The resulting irregularities on the birth certificate were likely caused by the attempt to cover the illegitimacy up. Had Barack Obama Sr. walked into an office with an actual marriage license the INS tipped off by his grandmother (read the a file) was waiting to charge him with bigamy.
The next set of deception comes at the University level where the Prep School Pot head Marxist feigned he was a foreign exchange student. The admission of Barack Obama Jr into Columbia and then Harvard Law illustrates exactly what is wrong with affirmative action. Obama was not poor and underprivileged and his major relation to slavery in the USA was his mothers family owned them. Researchers have desperately looked for genetic evidence that Obama was related to an early slave. Regardless. affirmative action programs were intended for poor and underprivileged descendants of slaves. The University elite abused the system to admit a Prep School Pot Head Marxist slacker. In fact the games played by Ward Churchill and Elizabeth Warren show why these are not isolated incidents. In fact a close friend who passed away found out he had a Black Great Grandmother and applied to NYU Grad School and was told he wasn't Black enough. Obama has no desire to show that he scammed the system as it would provide an illustration on why those programs need to end immediately.
Now Obama has weighed in on the Donald Sterling mess. Of course how a person this racist has a mistress
that is Black and Hispanic is unknown. The motives of the mistress who was cut off from funds remains unknown, but in an older day they remained quiet. Judith Exner did not speak until decades later. Of course a person who sat in a racist antisemitic church for two decades really shouldn't comment on this subject. We
could also go into deranged comments that he is better informed than Israel's elected leaders to deal with their long term issues. The judgement of a man who calls the nations most notorious communist terrorist Bill Ayers "an educator from the neighborhood" are suspect. Those of us who reside in Queens can use this term
to refer to Ron Jeremy who has an actual Special Education certificate. Jeremy like Ayers is best known for other activities. That being said nobody has accused Jeremy of being lazy or having his father use connections to get him a job in education.
Leave it to the pot head Obama, to have his wife talk about nutrition while he reminisces about bongs smoked long ago. Nor is this Marijuana Marxism limited to DC. Some of us have been wondering if Mayor Shaggy has his own history. Lets see he is perpetually late, has enough stoner pictures to make us wonder if he really has a dog named Scooby. If he goes down in the polls will he trot out a dog named Scooby. When
is the media going to ask the Mayor about his own pot usage.

A Real Moron
I want to point out that unless you are a leftist saying stupid and bigoted things gets you in deep trouble. The NBA Clippers Owners comments are the bottom of the barrel. They are inexcusable and stupid. I will not listen to the self serving comments of Keith Olberman who should not toss rocks at anyone for stupid comments. Nor is the phony, Magic Johnson who feigns to be a nice guy who stabbed his coach in the back.
The NBA is a business. The business caters to most of America, but a large percentage of the audience and players are Black. If you have those dreadful attitudes this is really a bad business to own and operate. How do you get a successful team together, when one has these dreadful attitudes about the players and the fans.
Pro sports teams in general have a problem with owners who treat players like a slab of meat. However, the players show zero loyalty to teams and communities. I miss the days when Leon Hess personally took charge of a paralyzed players medical care. I miss the days when Wellington Mara paid off the contract of a new hire who was diagnosed with cancer days after his hire. Those days are largely gone.
We have gone from the days of owners with hearts of gold to the days of crass foul mouthed punks. Even
George Steinbrenner looked after players when they left his employ. He sent his plane to fly a former player
to Australia when his wife died. I cringe when I hear anything from Charles Dolan's mouth.
Now, I will be somewhat controversial and state that there is a problem with low class criminality and mental illness among players. This is not really about race as in the Martin Bullying case the victim was biracial and the mental defective bully was white.
Not every athlete will exude the class and charm of a Derick Jeter or Grant Hill. That being said smarter organizations really need to include mental health services if only to protect their investment. Some of these players need structure and treatment. In the case of Kerry Collins, the NY Giants treated his issues with alcohol. Tragically, they seemed to have missed the issues of Dave Megett and Mark Ingram Sr.
A recent example has a well known NFL player being cut for allegedly being involved with a street gang. If this is true the team is 100% correct. There are things more important than wins and losses.
There are things more important than winning. The ultimate losers are the Clipper fans. However, in LA they are a second rate option at best.

And he wanted to be a hero part 2
I spoke to the ego maniacal lunatic whose presence pollutes my office. He bragged about his being selected
to teach new officers. I pointed the jury is out on his skill. His reputation stems from being the "bitch" of a previous manger who was sent to the rubber room. Her replacement was no fan of his skills.
I pointed out that most of us don't have the need nor the desire to scream they are a paragon with a bullhorn.
Others may sat this, but I make no such statement. Plenty of attorneys and members of the public sing my praises and I pass this onto my boss. I am but a member of a team and how large I or anyone else looms is a matter of perspective. On the rare occasion I make a mistake, I typically accept it and move ahead.
My compassion and genuine respect for the community at large are known. If there is an issue I deal with it directly and don't beat around the bush. I state exactly what the problem is and why this can not be done. When a task is difficult, I explain the problem to the attorney and state it can be overcome with a different approach. The attorneys view my perspective quite differently then the would be hero.
In the end, the worst feeling in the world is to do hard work for no reason. After our so called hero ignores facts and twist logic his errors become my problem. Almost all of the time, I set the person free. All of this chicanery and self promotion for naught.
We had a new officer stating we are so lucky to have this so called hero. Over time, he has seen that the talk was empty and he isn't quite that good. This officer is now in customer service learning the hard way and it becomes apparent day after day. The other day he told me "you were right".
I told this new officer "Don't ever believe hype. Look with your eyes and imagine the people were your family. Would you honestly want to have your family sit in front of such a person who makes the case all part of an ego trip.
The officer repeated some critiques of my work. I pointed out these themes come from a lesser officer who
has never had a good idea or bothered to treat people fairly. If a peer sees something differently, I accept this and embrace another perspective. It is not about me or you, it is about the person across the desk and sometimes another perspective can yield another result.
A different new officer was dealing with a new case type. I groaned as she placed her values upon different people.She made assumption after assumption and I wondered what the %$&%&. I knew why her previous unit was more than happy to dump her on us. I can envision the attorney eviscerating her flawed assumptions. I cringed as she started to rant about truth in black and white terms. In this case there will be a child soon and a more rational officer will fix this mess.
The battle between my peer is summed up as the battle between classic Batman and John Wayne. In the classic comic Batman is a dark hero with a world of problems. John Wayne is the classic icon who stands for something. I see my job quite differently than most. My job is more nuanced. I am sometimes shepherd,
philosopher and much more. When I act, it is because the law requires me to do so. There is room for facts and logic arrayed in a coherent presentation.
This person has no business wearing a badge and is ill suited for public service. A true hero does not shout it from the rooftops. When someone else took credit and was decorated for something I did, I shrugged my shoulders. My peers were bothered and my response was who needs to be a hero when we can be officers?
I do these things each and every day and my file is filled with examples, no big deal.

Doesn't take much for family fun
On my way through a Walmart I picked up a small lawn troll set. I intended to bring it to the office to live out my fantasy of creating a Chia lawn with doll house chairs in my office. My daughter fancied the set and we will be creating something together. Yes it will be tacky, but it is fun that we can share together. I will go to the hardware store and look for some peat moss and small flowers.
Who knew an after thought would create family fun.
Someday I still want to create a bonsai lawn with a lounge chair and in size NY Post and Diet Mountain Dew six pack. My creation will be called beakerkin's retirement fantasy. Perhaps a small radio would be there. An old tape of classic Paul Harvey bits and Oldies music should be in the work of art.

Washed Up at 24
The NY Giants took a chance with Will Hill. His first suspension for aderall was a mistake by the NFL. This medication was legitimately prescribed by a medical professional. It does not enhance performance. The other suspensions were deserved and no doubt his career is over in a flash.
The NFL was incorrect in its initial action but Hill deserves the consequences. No doubt some team will give him a chance again. Drug addiction is a sickness and treatments are costly and not guaranteed.
Sadly, if a person like Will Hill with a world class organization can't get himself clean, how do regular folks get by.
There are no easy answers. Will Hill let down his team mates and his career is over almost without highlights.

Deal With it
I will be representing Guyana at the office open house. When the folks upstairs asked me to participate they did not expect me to represent Guyana. In general I don't participate in these events, but the chance to add to my legend as Extra Crispy Persaud is too funny.
Watching Forrrest Gump, where even slow Americans punch out Commies. Go Forrest go punch out those lefties. It is even better than watching John Wayne knock out commies in Big Jim McClain.

A public service to hack writers
We interrupt this holiday to talk about piss poor creations. Although, I may disagree with the Duck he has taken the time and effort to craft a persona. This is not to difficult as there is an actual bio behind the blather.
When one deals with a troll one gets no bio and a melange of ignorant remarks.
A well crafted persona should have depth and substance. For example, I could create a persona Narine, a Guyanese Hindu logistics person. The fact that I worked the vocation in question and am fairly familiar with this culture would make pulling it off easy. However, as my bio has never changed, I have neither the desire nor the inclination to craft such a persona.
Oddly, at various points in my blogging history I have been accused of being an Assyrian or Copt impersonating a Jew. I have been called a gay rights militant. The critique by some commies was that I hide my Judaism to brainwash non-Jews like AOW, Mr. Beamish and the late Dr. Yeagley into supporting Israel.
The new critique based upon my bio is that I am a self hating Jew. Other lefties criticize my choice of romantic partners as not inclusive enough.
Sorry, but my bio hasn't changed because Beakerkin is merely a pen name.
At least provide your troll handles with a bio cumwads.

The Beak as Uncle
One can tell quite a bit from a limited meeting, In a previous meeting I summed up a previous boyfriend as a cheap Shaggy clone in seconds. The latest clown is severely disturbed, does not make eye contact nor has the ability to interact socially. This one is a well bred psycho loser. He is a sad improvement from a pathetic previous relationship.
In his case he grasps assholes should not talk.

Grandfather again
I will be a grandfather again. I do enjoy a loving relationship with my grandchild and my daughter in law. In the end the time spent as a father and grandfather are the best moments.
Not Understanding Individualism
I work with a close friend who is an elite university graduate from a Muslim country. What still amazes me is his inability to understand individualism. He falls back at each time, but you are Jewish.
The fact that I am Jewish in ancestry does not bind me to a preset political positions. He points out that I would never date a Muslim woman. This might sound amusing except that the person saying it has married a person from his own country. Similarly, when I started a relationship with Sunbeam there were those who were upset I did not date a Haitian woman first. I don't understand where these obsessions with my private life comes from. However, my tastes are quite eclectic and more varied then those of my critics.
I am not bound by tradition to practice a faith. Unlike far left phonies I have more then a passing familiarity with the faith that they are completely ignorant of. This does not prevent them from screaming I am a Jooo
outraged by whatever. Actually those lefties never were Jews. They are Marxist drone followers of a death cult.
I am free to define my political views with the same intellectual freedom as the next person. I find it odd that this person does not grasp this basic concept of Americanism. There are those who blame his country of origin. I blame the University Intellectual Gulag that imposes far left conformity at the expense of critical thinking.

But He Wanted to Be A Hero
The point of public service is public service. Unfortunately, there are those who seek to become heroes at the expense of the public. The essence of public service is the person across the desk. When it becomes
about you then the essence of public service is lost.
Unfortunately, some serve for entirely the wrong reasons.

More Jeff Bezos jokes
Sticking with the theme of silly publicity stories
6) Bezos asks the Psychiatric association to name a mental health disorder after him. Biden has a planet named after him but Bezos wants a mental health malady...
7) Bezos creates Amazon extraterrestrial. His real interest in space is a cheap ploy to get new Amazon customers.
8) Bezos creates Amazon family. Unhappy with your family no problem. You can use Amazon to recast the roles of your annoying relatives. Say goodbye to loud and boorish cousin Milton. You can recast these relations using Amazon family. Replace loud cousin Milton with Thomas who does not speak a language you can understand.
9) Bezos considers creating a new application for those of us with difficult life choices. Ever wonder what type of wine goes with possum hit by a Volvo ask Amazon life coach. Ever wonder how to get your husband to put down the toilet seat or ask for directions ask the Amazon life coach app.
10) Bezos creates an Amazon Prime Afterlife Option. Imagine long after you are gone an app to reproduce your spending patters into eternity or however long it takes your actual family to consider you are deceased.
Now this is all in good clean fun. I ask that anyone who wishes to create their own Bezos jokes keep them in good taste. We will not publish jokes making fun of a person based on his physical appearance or ethnicity.
The sad part is the real Bezos might actually get some ideas from these jokes and get motivated to find ways to generate new revenue.

Not a fan of Jeff Bezos
I am not a fan of the cult of the egomaniac Jeff Bezos and the 24/7 publicity machine. Examples of this endless desire for non stop publicity are the news stories about drones and paying employees chump change to quit. This egomaniac should be rife for all types of comedic skewering.
As Bezos is fond of insane self promotion.
1) Bezos ponders asking American to chip in 25 cents each to get him to quit placing these stupid stories in the newspaper
2) Bezos prints a special edition of a Christmas Carol where Scrooge is renamed Jeff Bezos
3) Bezos considers the possibility of the creation of robots to spray bathrooms fouled by people whose movements could be considered a cross between a landfill and rotting flesh
4) Bezos creates Amazonian apps to allow tech nerds without a life a chance to have an actual social interaction.
5) Bezos buys a circus so he can hang out with clowns.

Got out in time
Vermont is about to become the Mecca for high taxation. No doubt had I remained this latest scam involving single payer would be at my doorstep. Even though I was on assignment there for three years, I did pay NYC taxes and had NY health care options.
No doubt the snowbirds and transplants who relocated to VT and elect deranged socialist lunatics are now going to have to pay for their insanity. How many of them leave for NH or upstate NY remains unknown.

Goodbye J&R
It is with great sadness that this crusty New Yorker conveys this. I should have seen this coming. First the oldies section disappeared, then the records. There are those that love Amazon and the turd of a CEO Jeff Bezos. The factories where the workers assemble the orders are as close to sweat shops as one get.
I miss the old dusty book and record stores. No doubt there are those who miss other forgotten parts of our life like diners with a competent soda jerk. Actually, this is a lost art and I still craft an oldie or two for the daughter upon request.
I miss the mom and pop stores and the small merchant. The days of knowing the guy who ran the hardware store or pharmacy are a thing of the past. We are not better as a society when local institutions die and are replaced by yet another frozen yogurt place or endless sandwich shops. If you have the luck of living in NYC Lennys is the apex of this genre and Potbelly is acceptable. On principle I will not eat in a Subway where the food is dreadful.
I will remember the joy of hunting for gems in J&R. Finding that rare nugget was always a joy that a person of my age will remember.

Fatherhood First
I want to state that the happiest moments of my life are spent with my daughter, daughter in law and granddaughter. This was not a role I intended or thought would happen. Being there as a dad even with the bad moments means everything.
I exchanged emails with a friend who was a true Christian and recently passed. Even though my family is Hindu and I am Jewish I celebrate the Christian holidays with my family as well as the Hindu festivals. On a certain level you will grasp my non thoughts about many things.
I have never been theologically inclined. My view of the matter is that religion is a complimentary function of a well balanced life. At the center of that life are personal ethics and values. Without a healthy core any religion is merely window dressing for hypocrisy.
I remember the Judaism of my youth and it wasn't always annoying. The best of it was the time with my grandfather. We would bring the family together for a Passover Seder. The focus was the family and the Seder was merely a means to an end.
My disdain comes from seeing a mania and Felix Unger type on nonsense from my brother over the most idiotic of small details. Instead of bringing the family together his mono-focused mania and rambling over minutia make his visits annoying. His children are basically headed to a future of mendicancy and cultural impairment.
The battle between myself and my brother is typical of those in many homes. The culture of entitlement is something of a moral and mental defect impacting parts of my community. The impositions of the religious upon their more secular family is never really discussed. When my brother visits he brings his extremism and ignorance with him. Save religious texts and vocation my brother is a cultural zombie and a first class bore.
The house gets transformed into a medieval dwelling and his endless visits become a source of anger.
At the center of this conflict is the sense of entitlement. He is religious so it is peachy that he hold his hand out and live a joke of a life. His wife would be sent into industrial therapy with symptoms remarkably similar to classic inner city conditions that are commonly seen in drug addicts. She has no sense of time, organization,
has zero social skills and can not hold even the most menial of jobs with an advanced accounting degree. Her sloth has burned through resources that should have been intended for other family members. When my brothers car broke rather than get a new one, he pressured my parents into taking mine.
He rushes from party to party giving gifts he can not afford and comes with his hand out. His son is finally in a college attempting to get a degree but years of substandard dedication to secular studies, cultural isolation
and bombastic fixation on Torah will no doubt lead to a life of mendicancy. The best of this pathetic lot is the niece who will likely marry and have kids she can't afford with a theologically obsessed drone.
As a father I made sure that these conflicts do not exist in our home. The holidays serve as a vehicle to bring
the family together. We do not obsess over banal details and the focus is family first. My daughter understands that hard work is part of life and being self sufficient is the only way to live. In essence I recreated the spirit of my grandfather in my own family.
Now some of you may be shocked and appalled, but my grandfather would understand my angst. His life as well as that of my maternal grandmother embodied the following values family, hard work, honesty and self reliance. The notion that one should study theological texts on the dime of others would not be something he would have approved of. Pushing away others with religious boorishness and mendicancy would not be acceptable.
I will be with my daughter at an Easter dinner and there will be no seder this year. I chose family and substance first. Religion is a way to bring families together. When it divides families or becomes a chore the
essential essence of the faith is lost.
A Happy Passover and Easter to All
I exchanged emails with a friend who was a true Christian and recently passed. Even though my family is Hindu and I am Jewish I celebrate the Christian holidays with my family as well as the Hindu festivals. On a certain level you will grasp my non thoughts about many things.
I have never been theologically inclined. My view of the matter is that religion is a complimentary function of a well balanced life. At the center of that life are personal ethics and values. Without a healthy core any religion is merely window dressing for hypocrisy.
I remember the Judaism of my youth and it wasn't always annoying. The best of it was the time with my grandfather. We would bring the family together for a Passover Seder. The focus was the family and the Seder was merely a means to an end.
My disdain comes from seeing a mania and Felix Unger type on nonsense from my brother over the most idiotic of small details. Instead of bringing the family together his mono-focused mania and rambling over minutia make his visits annoying. His children are basically headed to a future of mendicancy and cultural impairment.
The battle between myself and my brother is typical of those in many homes. The culture of entitlement is something of a moral and mental defect impacting parts of my community. The impositions of the religious upon their more secular family is never really discussed. When my brother visits he brings his extremism and ignorance with him. Save religious texts and vocation my brother is a cultural zombie and a first class bore.
The house gets transformed into a medieval dwelling and his endless visits become a source of anger.
At the center of this conflict is the sense of entitlement. He is religious so it is peachy that he hold his hand out and live a joke of a life. His wife would be sent into industrial therapy with symptoms remarkably similar to classic inner city conditions that are commonly seen in drug addicts. She has no sense of time, organization,
has zero social skills and can not hold even the most menial of jobs with an advanced accounting degree. Her sloth has burned through resources that should have been intended for other family members. When my brothers car broke rather than get a new one, he pressured my parents into taking mine.

Frummies from Hell
After a long hiatus, the planets worst house guests have returned. They never go home on time and are still here as they drag out their painful toxic visits. The brothers wife has gotten fired from yet another job. The folks are upset that I disinherited his entire family in my will. I am so annoyed at them, I purchased burial space in Guyana to get away from them.
I despise the frummies and the best of this lousy lot is the niece who elected to stay home. They are not bound by things like jobs and responsibility. God takes care of them, usually at my expense and I am sick of them.
I am at the point where I will be writing a will. My parents are steaming, but I gave them nothing except a scathing insult.

Interesting discussion with peer
Frequently, I disagree with my peers on a range of subjects. Most of the time it is on vs fact and what we can prove. Also if the US Government makes a mistake it increases the burden of proof.
There are a whole range of words that are not supposed to be said in Federal offices. If I hear something perceived to be a slur, I will usually intercede immediately. Most of the time I remind people that this is a legal proceeding and that those words are unacceptable and make you look inarticulate. The most common word that comes out in this context is bitch.
The term retardation is a term that was socially acceptable in an earlier era. When used by a person over 60 it does not have the same pejorative context. In cases where testimony about this subject comes up usually Autism or Downs's syndrome is the term. My peer pointed out that the public has a right to be offensive. He is 100% correct, but in a legal proceeding there is really no need for that. The presiding official is responsible for the tone.
In my case I was cringing because a Stroke survivor used the term multiple times. My discomfort was so great that when my boss called me out the first words out of my mouth were "I didn't encourage that". She was listening and said." I know. However, the woman described everything perfectly. Get her out of here".
My boss was 100% correct and had I not been so disturbed by those offensive words I likely would have made the same decision earlier.
In general there is no place for slurs or even pejoratives in government offices. There are more creative ways to describe people. I refer to one obnoxious peer at times as Batman, a vampire and as a front man for a horror film. These are descriptions of his style and if anything are insults to vampires everywhere.
My friend is 100% correct that our rights do include the right to be boorish and offensive. However, most of the time a gentle reminder is all that is needed to refocus the applicant. There are certainly more creative ways of expressing your former wife's annoying habits than calling her a bitch. I also remind people that the officer is more pleased when people admit up to their own failings in an honest manner than blaming others.
It is a gentle reminder that we are in an official proceeding lets respect the forum and the process.

Basic Litteracy
Our friend Duncy has failed basic literacy. The changes at work are not aimed at me. I am bothered by having to perform odious tasks due to the general incompetence around me. Officers mistreat cases because they have never grasped how to perform this job from day one and I am tasked with performing odious tasks to correct these errors. In fact all of the more responsible officers are left with the same anger.
It has been a long time since I was a pariah. In my area I am a healthy role model for the new trainees to aspire to. My denial rate tends to be lower because I understand the law and know when to stand your ground. My boss asked me Beak what do you think of this one. I told them its is a losing proposition and to cut it free and I did so. The folks who prioritize what goes in front of the judge appreciate my efforts. Oddly the person who does that is a leftist. She understands the judge is a last resort for cases that need to be there. She performs the mental calculus at the next level. When she wants something done she knows who to ask. Likewise when odd problems arise she usually covers my back. I had a classic one where I warned an attorney, if I can't solve this your client will either have to go back to a war zone or submit DNA. The attorney preferred my approach and with the help of the language lab no DNA was required. I understand the options and present the plans of action.
I am a survivor of work place bullying and live each and every day with PTSD. In my case, I was doing the job right all along and was a model employee. My abuser has remained in the rubber room for four years.
My points have been amply proven.

Classic by Duncy
Our Commie bird brained waterfowl has some strong words for classic liberal Gov Cuomo. I am no fan of dauphin. However, his efforts to govern responsibly and reign in the dangerously insane Communist clown DiBlassio have made him look better. Even the deranged Socialists of France have figured out that milking tax the rich and soak corporations does not work past a certain point.
Lefties are far more obsessed with Joooooos than the Ostritch brigade acknowledges. Who was that Duck who claimed Joseph Lieberman represented Tel Aviv. Sounds like those whose past is synonymous with treason are projecting their crimes on others.
