They fired a guy who was stalking a gal at work.

I was the first person to see this guy was not right in the head.

You know where that got me? It got me in the reticle of the scope and in a big blow out in the bosses office, I stood my ground and it was over this guys obsessive compulsory behavior and his unwillingness to allow me to do my job. He was just creepy and inflexible.

Shortly after he got fired for Harassing a girl at Work.

A year later The guy looking for my head says be on the look out for him because he showed up an the womans house and has been seen lurking on her street (I am part of the security team)

The point is when the rules are grey there are no rules and the folks demanding rules want the rules to be grey, but WE ALL KNOW RIGHT FROM WRONG

Clarence Thomas, Part II

Thomas Sowell:
"Think about it: The accusations referred to things that were supposed to have happened when only two people were present.
If the accusations were true, Clarence Thomas would automatically know who originated them. Anita Hill's request for anonymity made sense only if the charges were false."

6 Pieces Of Evidence Anita Hill Was Lying

Amanda Prestigiacomo:
Anita Hill had a witness who could not be a witness; followed Thomas to another job; called him after the alleged abuse and after she stopped working for him;
had a dozen women refute her on how Thomas treated women; and got caught lying under oath.

Today more people would know she was lying.

Unfortunately, in about another 2 months of this crap, when it REALLY happens, nobody is going to listen or care. This is approaching the importance of “Racist”.

Way back during the Thomas confirmation hearings, Scott Adams’ Dilbert cartoon was in its infancy. I remember him parodying the hearings by having Dogbert nominated to the SCOTUS and undergoing similar hearings. The strips just had Dogbert seated at a table with a microphone while the speech bubbles from the senator inquisitors intruded from out of the frame. After Dogbert prefabricated on a number of issues a senator asks, “Do you mean to tell us you’ve never formed a single, substantive opinion in your entire life? You must think we’re a bunch of idiots!” Dogbert replies, “Well ok. Maybe one.” :)

Perhaps, but it was just a story after all, with no basis in fact.

More people would believe it. But that doesn’t make it any truer.

Not long ago my Daughter met Judge Thomas and she was thrilled.

I told her that when she has her next encounter she should be prepared. Say hello, and casually ask, “By the way, is this your Coke?”

She didn’t think that was funny.

I still think it’s funny.

We all got to witness a narcissistic personality disorder in full fashion.

That is why the whole thing was so puzzling.

RATs in a conundrum...they can’t officially be behind Anita Hill because they would have to be behind Juanita et al.
Can’t have that. So they have to (fat chance) remain silent.

Anita Hill wasn’t a credible witness. She claimed the harassment she received from Clarence Thomas was so horrifying that it made her physically ill, but she never resigned from the job, or filed a complaint at the time of the alleged harassment. Yet, after she claimed this alleged harassment occurred, she personally called Thomas up and begged him to hire her again. What person, who has been sexually harassed to the point of illness, deliberately calls that person, and asks to be hired by the same person they claim harassed them? A liar...that’s who.

1. If they did or didn’t, that wouldn’t change the veracity of it.
2. Interesting that she calls it ‘my story.’ Maybe it’s just me, but if I were telling the truth, I would say ‘believe ME’ not “believe MY STORY’.
3. That matters, because the left believes, like Taqqiya, that the story need not be true so long as the ends are righteous, in their opinion.
4. I say ‘righteous’ and not ‘right’ because it’s time for the left to file for non-profit status as a church/religion.
5. Glad we’re winning :-)

We would never believe Ms. Hill because she followed Mr. Thomas from job to job, and as far as he was concerned, she was contented.
