A lefty coworker stated that my desire to create Kurdistan is loyalty to Israel. Funny, I asked this person to compare the case for Pseudostine and Kurdistan. Kurds are too civilized to toss US senior citizens in wheel chairs off ocean liners. They have their own identity going back thousands of years and a unique language.
The folks at ISIS may be terrorists, but they are honest. There is no such thing as Syrians, Iraqis, Jordanians and Pseudostinians. Arabs already posses an abundance of land, but aided by Communists have created a bait and switch game with a contrived ethnicity. The odious overtones of creating Jew free apartheid states are quite obvious.
Meanwhile our lefty friend points out Turkey is an ally and a member of NATO. It is a regime that is occupying Kurdish land and needs to stop oppressing Kurds. This does not stop the mindless oppressive Turkish government from running boats to Gaza and lecturing Israel.
I also pointed out that Israel has been quite restrained in response to repeated transgressions. One need look no further than Grozny to see how governments respond to these provocations. Moreover, Israel arrested terrorists for killing an Arab. When and where do Arabs ever get around to arresting terrorists and lets not pretend that Arabs don't know who killed the three Jews.
I want to point out had I questioned the patriotism of my Muslim coworker I would be guilty of an EEO violation. However, stating that a Jew who has never set foot in Israel is disloyal goes unnoticed.
Lefties who venerate Arabs but ignore Kurds are hypocrites.

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Cell Meeting
Yet another bad Beakerkin Satire.
Ducky: Jewdulous will you get of your working Capatalist Kiester and fetch me my Das Capital. You have to drive the chariot to the Cell meeting. Stop daydreaming you Zionist Pig.
Beakerkin: Some workers paradise. I do all the work and these demented idiots keep the masses in check with the dumb Jooo bit. More Judenfrei real estate sounds familiar, add a contrived ethnicity for new packaging and it sounds familiar.
Ducky: Jewdolous are you pondering about that again your sainted Zionists allied with Nazis...
Beakerkin: Actually, you commies allied with Nazis to divide Europe until they double crossed you. Your sainted leader of the Arabs was a Nazi War criminal.
Ducky: Recidivist Zionist, I should send you to the Gulag for rootless cosmopolitanism.
Beakerkin: Off to camps now does that sound familiar
Ducky: Never mind just get me to the cell meeting. We can talk about the wonders of the workers state.
Beakerkin: When do the workers actually see this wonder.
Ducky: Jewdolous you are living it now. You are merely suffering from false consciousness.
Beakerkin: I would settle for a slice of Wonder Bread
Ducky: Stupid working class dolt. Wonderbread is poison made by Capitalists. Fish heads and vegtable ends are better for you.
Voice of wife in the backround: Big time commissar. He doesn't do his husbandly duties. Bateries are running out at the co-operative....
Ducky: Lets go fast. I can't handle the thought of that beast. Always wanting sex shouldn't once a year be enough. Quick lets go before I have to.......
Jewdulous: Work is good for your cardio.....
Ducky: QUICK Jewdoulous I can feel her high cholesterol comming down the stairs. The townhouse is shaking.
We're off thank God Jewdoulous the thought of all that heavy lifting. She was wonderful 500ls ago, but I married for party loyalty not love.
Jewdoulus: I forgot our ID lets go back
Ducky: Don't even joke about that Jewdoulous I can't handle the thought. Onward....
Tune in for more next time.

Lois Lerners Criminal Acts
As a public servant one is familiar with the ethics training every employee of the Federal government receives annually. Lerner is an attorney and involved with administrative law and held to a higher standard than a clerk.
Employees of the government are protected from lawsuits when their mistakes occur within the official duties of the job. This is actually a topic one considers at some level each and every day. My boss who is an attorney would be the first to tell you I veer towards caution and restraint. In general the rules that dictate my job is the need to know. In one case, I told another supervisor just discussing the specifics of what was in that file would likely land me with an EEO issue. In this instance this supervisor had a need to know in order to carry out her job. She did an outstanding job with the case and was a great help.
On the job there is zero room for anything less than impartiality. There are who layers of laws that govern abusing your authority. I had a different conversation with a staff attorney about what is profiling and what is due diligence. Person A is from a country with issues of terrorism. There is no evidence the person in front of me is involved. Routine questioning is the norm and unless something in the response warrants additional scrutiny that is the end. Person B is from the same country and has a money laundering arrest. The crime has been identified and additional scrutiny is warranted. Person C is not from a country where terrorism is an issue but has the same arrest. Additional scrutiny is warranted on a criminal basis without the national security angle.
If person A were subjected to extended questioning solely on the basis of country of origin, this would be an ethical violation. Additionally, this would be a waste of time, resources and a public relations disaster. As people are not perfect sometimes this does happen. When I am being questioned for security clearance sometimes I have to remind the investigator of the boundaries. This is typically done with the phrase I will answer that question although it falls into my zone of privacy and is not pertinent to your investigation. An experienced investigator gets the hint, but new ones do not. The subject of what is an alias is a sticking point.
A religious ceremonial name was termed an alias. I pointed out this was not a name I use. Other than two members of my immediate family nobody knows what my exact ceremonial name. These names are so obscure they are placed in index cards at the house of worship. Moreover, they are categorized as translations of my name in a foreign language used for solely for religious ceremonies and not aliases.
In the case of Lerner, she abused her position to adversely impact those with political views she opposed.
Lerner as a lawyer and managerial level employee are held to high standards. She was aware that she was violating the law and should be punished to the maximum extent of the law. In fact her actions are so heinous that a set of new laws should be crafted named after her.
Leftists are fond of invoking paranoia about Black Listing and counter intelligence operatives infiltrating Peace Movements. Lefties leave out the part that Communists were indeed advocating support for Stalinism
and Communists did commit treason and spy for a hostile foreign power. In most cases Communists were
never confronted directly for their insane beliefs. In the case of the Vietnam Protesters, lefties forget about the criminality and direct ties to domestic terrorism of the protest leaders, Lefties omit rampant vandalism, large scale drug use and Communist leadership of Peace Protests.
Lerner is a leftist who abused her authority to prevent people she politically opposed from participating fully in their First Amendment rights. She was part of a government agency that trampled on the rights of peaceful
TEA Party activists to organize and participate in the electoral process. Donor and membership list were leaked in direct violation of the Privacy Act. Additional government agencies harassed these same people.
Lefties talk about voter ID cards suppressing the vote but remain silent on the actions of Lerner.
Lois Lerner is possibly the greatest villain in American history aside from Criminals and racial arsonists. Now some of you would point to Benedict Arnold. General Arnold's multiple heroic actions and his mistreatment
by some cronies make his case less odious than the crimes of Lerner. Richard Nixon did many admirable
things prior to Watergate. The crimes of Lerner are far more serious than Watergate.
Now the voices of the left who talk of marching with Dr. King and raises the often criminal peace protester
are silent about actual abuse of people for ideas they disagree with. When David Horowitz, Ron Radosh and other former leftists talk about the totalitarian aspects of the American left many of you laugh. The silence of the mainstream Democrats about the crimes of Lerner is deafening.

Why Government Is Never The Answer
I had an interesting conversation with my boss. I want to stress that I respect and honor a boss who has been very good to me. In the conversation I understand the limitations of government and why it is incapable of ever being reformed or accomplishing much.
The actual job of any government is to serve the people. All other tasks are secondary. The government serves the people most efficiently by using its human capital wisely. Take employees and place them in tasks most suited to their strengths.
In my tenure some of the personnel moves are head scratchers. A key job of supervision is leadership and in my area leadership is lacking severely. The managerial selections are made through a series of cronyism and political intrigue. The notion of picking effective leaders and people with vision is an afterthought.
Management is forever in a series of never ending meetings. The meetings don't accomplish much and the managerial time is reduced by mounds of paperwork. Bad ideas are championed and an Amen chorus tries to rationalize failed ideas.
Unfortunately, the Amen chorus picks winners and losers and most frequently these are arbitrary whims. Conformity and accepting bad ideas is the model rather than transparency and innovation. A colleague was criticized for his independence. In his case the people calling the shots were morons and his objections were prudent.
The first line supervisor should be tasked with building a successful team. The supervisor should have strong leadership skills and be a problem solver. Ironically the best at getting productivity from employees who were written off was one supervisor who was demoted and a temp.
In the private sector there is accountability for failure and bad ideas. The government has no accountability
and has zero ability to remedy failures. Lois Lerner types who abuse their authority are seldom ever punished. If the government actually gets anything done it is likely due to the dedication of the street level worker who is dedicated to public service.

Just Saying
There are those who are bent out of shape over what appears to be a revenge killing in Israel. Of course the Obama administration rushed to condemn this retaliation. Frankly given the behavior and intransigence of Arabs I am shocked this type of retaliation does not happen much more frequently.
Arabs kill themselves daily for no reason. They mistreat and abuse others and sit upon plenty of colonized real estate. They have land in abundance, yet they demand more ethnically cleansed land.
It has not been established how this person died. The Israelis will make an effort to find and punish the killer.
The PA regularly lynches alleged collaborators regularly and nobody cares or worries about rights.

Crisis at the border and heartland
I want to open with a simple reminder that any system with millions of humans is complex and volatile. In general, I support many of the Obama policies.
1) We should focus our energies and limited resources on criminal cases and fraud. Deportation even in those areas is a time consuming process and we should use our resources wisely.
2) Extending recognition to gay and lesbian couples.
All this being said there appears to be a clueless belief that immigrants will just be a constant. Actually, immigrants react to our policies. The situation at our border is a direct consequence of non enforcement
of our laws. If you remove the consequence of deportation this is the result.
In the coming days the administration will have to act. The problem is way too large. Perhaps like Katrina or Sandy there will be a deployment. Like either my odds of going are zero as people who produce are kept on duty.
The story of why Obama is not held accountable remains unknown. By now a leader like Michael Bloomberg would be acting decisively. A leader is supposed to lead and Obama just is poor at taking charge of anything and producing results.

Shady games at Huffington
The folks over at Huffington are quite amusing. I am no fan of Donald Trump. However, the rant about Trumps race baiting from a buddy of Al Sharpton is amusing. In a post that is supposed to be about the Central Park Five it spends plenty of time about Obama.
If the Central Park Five got a raw deal much of the blame belongs directly at Al Sharpton's feet. The article neglects Sharpton calling the victim a whore and blaming her boyfriend for the rape. This bombastic blame the victim race garbage clouded the entire case. Sharpton could have argued facts and logic instead he chose to call a rape victim by name a whore.
The overwhelming evidence of innocence is a fantasy of those looking for dreams. The fact that Reyes DNA was found does not infer he was not part of the group. In fact the injuries are not consistent with a single perpetrator. Nor does Reyes confession he acted alone stand up to the case facts. Nor does the convenient
confession ( no additional prison time for Reyes) and the subsequent crimes of Reyes have anything to do with this case. It was well known from the confessions that there were more than six assailants.
If there is blame to be assigned in this case it belongs to Sharpton and media clown lawyers trying to turn the judicial system into racial comedy. The case should have been argued on facts and logic, but the defense didn't have them. Rather than argue facts and logic the case was argued as deranged drama.
I leave the readers of Huffington to ponder if a friend of Sharpton who called a rape victim a whore should be complaining about Trumps words.

The Obama Administration is the greatest disaster
There are those who compare Nixon to Obama. Nixon was neither stupid nor incompetent. Watergate was trivial compared to the Obama scandals. The difference is the media anointed Obama on an entirely false narrative. Part of the blame falls squarely on Democrats who have been silent. Allegedly Bill Clintoon has described Obama as incompetent in private but in public he remains silent.
The leftwing talking points on the IRS scandal have shifted. First it is out of control low level agents in Cincinnati. Then its talk of "phony scandals". Then Lois Lerner who is allegedly an attorney states I have done nothing wrong but invokes the Fifth Amendment. This is not how this amendment is wrong. Furthermore, government employees are protected from actions when they act within their job. Example an FBI agent reads a report incorrectly and lets a criminal go or misinterprets a law. These are honest mistakes that occur while performing a job. This is far different than the actions of Lerner who needs to go to jail for her actions.
The latest excuse is Lerners Emails have magically disappeared from her hard drive. Emails are stored on a server and if they disappeared it requires an act of immense efforts. Unlike erasing tapes taking key peoples names out of servers requires multiple tech pros. If Lerners emails were stored off the server she is in violation of the records rules. In this case we have no reason to give her the benefit of the doubt. One can assume the worst and Lerner should be held in contempt until she talks with no immunity. Let her rot in jail for her actions. Why would someone store their emails in such a manner unless they were up to some criminal endeavor.
In my own emails there are all types of jokes, but none off color. A Guyanese person asked me what village my people are from? I said the one with the Village People and the YMCA. Someone asked me about a weird musical group from NYC that dressed in crazy costumes and I said are you referring to KISS. Yes, I do joke about the Village People as they are along with Blondie a part of NYC landscape. Somehow in homophobic NYC YMCA is played at every sporting event alongside "We are the Champions" by Queen
if a team wins. Gays are just part of NYC culture and other than the tacky parades are fairly innocuous and mainstream. There were a few jokes about a Surf Band that dresses up like Hasidic Jews. They are pretty good and most members are Jewish so this is proof almost anyone except my brother can potentially be cool. I still can't find a CD but someday....
The disaster at the border is Obama inspired. In the fantasy land where Obama lives immigrants don't react to our policies and abide by our laws. Obama initiates a policy of non enforcement of settled law and grants benefits to people illegally smuggled in as children. Then is shocked by a tidal wave of children seeking similar amnesty.
The impact of the Obama policies on the lives of the working poor is worse than hurricane Katrina and Sandy. Lets cut hours for low paid workers to avoid Obamacare but raise the minimum wage. The result is underemployment and the working poor are worse off than ever. Of course there are jobs in the energy
sector, but Obama is more concerned with his University faculty loafers than working families.

Arrest Lois Lerner
The scandal at the IRS is bigger than Obama. The entire integrity of the Federal government has been compromised by the actions of Lois Lerner and her cohorts. This is the USA, we do not permit government officials to abuse their authority for partisan purposes. The actions of Lerner are straight out of the Hugo Chavez playbook.
The basic rule is that US government employees are protected from legal liabilities if their actions fall within their job. Lois Lerner's actions violated every principle of ethics and she should be punished to the full extent of the law including jail time and forfeiture of her pension. Employees are protected from liability in the case of an honest mistake if they believed they were acting within the law or were just incompetant. Lerner's actions rise to malfeasance and was well aware of her violations of the law and is not protected.
The GOP needs to play hardball with the IRS and treat it as a corrupt agency. I do not favor collective punishment in most circumstances. In this case,the actions are so heinous that they dwarf Watergate. The goal should be to smoke out all the managers who had anything to do with the illegal activities of Lerner and the subsequent cover up.
1) Pay and Hiring freeze at the agency until employees step forward and co-operate with the investigation of Lerners activities and cover up.
2) Criminal prosecution of those responsible for ethics violations.
3) Early retirement for those eligible.
4) Demotion and reduction in grade and reassignment to other agencies for lower level participants.
Those who assist the prosecution of Lerner should be awarded step increases.
Lerner may fancy herself an Obama loyalist. Lets see how she fancies herself when her actions cause financial hardship on her peers.
Violating the very core of ethical standards for partisan purposes is a heinous crime. Anyone familiar with the ethics training that government employees get annually know that these abuses are prominently covered in annual training. Lerner is allegedly a lawyer and as such should be held to a higher standard.

RIP Tuco
Eli Wallach was a talented actor who was in two of the most memorable films ever The Good The Bad and The Ugly and The Magnificent Seven. Ironically, he claims the most fan mail he ever got was from playing Mr. Freeze on Batman. He also starred in a two part episode in Kojak.
Hopefully the movie channels will set up some tribute.
I would also like to state a RIP wish to Steve Rossi. He was a decent humble man who occasionally worked in the Catskills. He had an interesting show. I was somewhat surprised to read Mart Allen is still with us. May he live to be 100 and then some.

Just Stupid but likely
There is a tendency that permits people to use racial expletives among themselves in society. Thus a Black person may use the dreaded N word in addressing fellow Black people without penalty. However, if a white person uses the word a suspension is likely.
This is probably the likely source of the homophobic slurs in the emails observed by Gowdy. The truth is that that type of garbage should never be used in any capacity by a federal employee.
The truth is that at work homophobia does occur. As a way of illustrating the mindless hatred I do jokingly call heterosexuals breeders. I have had more than a few fights over homophobia. The very people who would rightly end your career over the use of the N word will bandy anti gay terms freely.
When the law changed and Gay marriage was added, I asked to be the first to adjudicate such cases in my office. When those who objected to hearing these cases asked me for my support I blasted them. There is no place for bigotry on the job. I do not tolerate it in my personal life either. I have had lunch with gay coworkers on plenty of jobs.
I certainly hope the type of stupidity expressed in the IRS emails was two gays joking about their own preferences. There should be policies that spell out using certain words as terms of endearment are not permitted either.
I find it amazing that our local bird brained poultry fails to grasp that our local AILA chapter has been supportive of my career. I have also attempted to deal with biases against the poor and gender at work.
I have always stood for fairness and transparency in the system. A lawyer can not serve their client unless we discuss what issues there are openly. For example a person obtained a diplomatic passport falsely and a discussion over the relevance of a certain section of the law ensued. After a short discussion a solution was reached and everyone lived happily ever after.
How Poultry claims to know more about my career than the local legal practitioners is unknown. Then again when one rationalizes communist history and has clear obsessions, he is not playing with a full deck.

For example a person obtained a diplomatic passport falsely and a discussion over the relevance of a certain section of the law ensued. After a short discussion a solution was reached and everyone lived happily ever after.
How Poultry claims to know more about my career than the local legal practitioners is unknown. Then again when one rationalizes communist history and has clear obsessions, he is not playing with a full deck.

Don't get mad get Guyanese
Those who know me personally know I am a complex person. I stand for certain things and I don't tolerate two legged rats. My reaction to those who rat on their peers unless serious ethical issues are involved is shunning. You become an unperson and my normal reaction is to turn my back. If the dialogue is work related the response is state your business and go. This treatment is permanent and lasts years and there is no forgiveness.
A rather mundane episode was spun into something bigger. Cooler heads warned this person don't mess with that one. Her boss tangled with me and wanted no part in round two. I explained that this one is different and there will be no round two. After two months the rat decided to move. Most people want a friendly neighbor and it is smarter to head out quickly.
I will finally have peace and quiet. I don't mind occasional noise, but constant non stop yapping unrelated to work gets on my nerves.

Found My Maltese
I found my dog on the internet. A dog matching the description of my Maltese showed up nearby. I pointed out the description matched but I could not see the picture. My daughter in law saw the pictures and was almost certain it was Rex. I gave the girlfriend the words and got a call two hours later Rex is home. Not believing her or my daughter I went to see. My daughter was seeing him everywhere and the girlfriend are not as good as I am under stress.
In seconds I knew it was Rex. He was eating vanilla ice cream and enjoying the attention. He is so loved by all in the house. I was pricing out a West Highland or Cairn terrier as another Maltese would be not good for the house.
Times may be rough, but it isn't a home without Rex. Four generations of our family love the little guy.

Obama's Invisible People
You hear much rhetoric from the administration about the working poor. However, the administration has done anything and everything to make their lives hell. A typical example is in my own family. The Daily News wrote about the low wage jobs at the airport. It carefully avoids discussing 29 hour work weeks caused by Obamacare.
Obama has pushed aliens into the laborforce. Low skilled Americans now have countless people looking for the same job. Employers have no rationale to raise wages or hire full time employees.
Its time to stop pretending that Obama cares about poor people because he is Black. His policies have hurt the working poor, young Americans and scores of other groups. He seems more focused on the TEA Party than Al Queda.
It used to be that students who graduated with a nursing degree found work in seconds. My waiter in the Greek Diner can't find work. The stunning Latina single mom has an associates degree and no work.
While Obama and his media elite cronies play golf and eat fondue America suffers. Obama trades hardened terrorists for a deserter. His foreign policy seems designed by pot heads for pot heads. His best friend is the corrupt hypocritical tyrant in Turkey. Yes Turkey, the same one fixated on Israel while ignoring actual indigenous Kurds. Did we mention the suppression of secular protesters in Turkey?
Electing Obama did not erase the racial sins of the past. No person could do that with a mere elected post.
The election of an incompetent pot head has hurt all kinds of Americans.
Where are these invisible people who work 29 hours. Don't blame the corporations for the mess created by
Obama. Blame Obama for absurd support for programs that hurt the working poor.
Jobs not programs stupid policy wonks....,

Missing my Maltese
The girlfriend lost the dog the other day. Prospects for getting him home are dim. Rex was a lovable dog, who loved me most of all. From the hysterical greeting at the door to sleeping by my side he was a great companion. As he is a purebred no doubt he is likely doing well in some other home by now. I miss the little guy and the memories we had. No matter how sick I was he never left my side. He was smart enough to know that little children fear waking up sleeping grownups, especially me.
The daughter is heartbroken.
Eventually, I will get another dog. He won't be Rex. I am thinking more in terms of a corgi.

In the lab
We have a new assignment. Most of the time when we get a new assignment there is a fumbling period until it becomes natural. One of my peers was a tad nervous. I told him to relax as I have tools available for similar projects. It would take no effort to craft a new one. I am old school. give me the tools and point me in the right direction. Apparently, enough people were nervous so that management asked if I have something. I showed them the prototype. One of my peers will do the final touches like selecting better fonts and pasting
legalese.
It is frustrating when one is asked to do something without training or tools.. We don't have that issue this time.

Kick Ass
My boss asked me why I didn't work Saturdays. I hold myself to high standards and unless the productivity is there won't do it. I had a huge day but wrecked my health doing it. My boss has made me promise no more than three diet dews and not to press. The maniacal focus on numbers has scared the crap out of some.
The 80's music started blaring and I went to work, I focused and gunning down the forms. Unfortunately, I get irritated when my concentration is broken. My boss reminded me that my mentoring and leadership is not to be sacrificed on this project.
My peers did not grasp that if I am flying through these they can be freed up to do other things. The big boss
pulled me off to handle some VIP work. As I am doing pure paper, I can put out fires if management deems the problem worthy of immediate action.

Don't Get Mad..... Get Guyanese
We ran out of toner cartridges. My boss was visiting with the top boss and noticed five spent cartridges. I had to lift some from empty offices to keep going. My boss immediately called supply and got me a fresh one. The top boss was impressed that I kept going without a complaint. However, they said they need to be kept in the loop when shortages go on for days.
I am amazed how playing Guyanese Music keeps people out of the office. Don't get mad get Guyanese. The music reminds me of my family. I will be there tonight.

Obama doesn't understand the military
The media protected incompetant Obama continues to show incompetence in every facet of his job performance. A POW is one who is captured while serving in the military. Our latest clod is a deserter who
knowingly sought out the enemy. Of course once he got there, he was not treated to Club Med.
There are those who state this imbecile acted out of a moral belief. A person who has a moral objection does not drop his weapons and go AWOL. Nor was this the case of a soldier sneaking off base on a beer run or trying to see a romantic interest. Those actions would also be wrong but fall into the category of as humans we sometimes use bad judgement. If you have a moral objection to something you just come to the front and say No and accept what the system has as a response. You can voice your concerns as part of the disciplinary process that will follow.
Obama has gotten a free pass throughout his life due to his bio and connections to the far left. Long ago he has established he was not qualified to be President. He has never shown an ability to run anything or outstanding vision. He is a party hack elected on an idiotic story that is entirely false. Obama is merely the Prep School Pothead who got a series of jobs through nepotism.

Managerial Bonuses
One of the items that should be discussed in the Obama scandals is the subject of managerial bonuses. It appears there has been some creative accounting to achieve bonuses. These practices almost certainly predate Obama and the administration.
Trading terrorists for deserters is bad policy.
