On the good side, there's all these "green" jobs just waiting to be filled....

I wonder how many of these folks voted for "change"?

Here’s the article from the WSJ:

Don’t forget the ‘shovel ready projects’!

Cisco employees? I think you have to be a flaming lib just to get an interview there. So, I’d say 90%+

The Obama War to destroy America continues relentlessly on all fronts.

Contrary to popular opinion, the Marxists definitely won the Cold War.

The Freepathon is still going strong.  Let's put an end to it.


                          The following is directed to Freepers who haven't donated or signed up for monthlies yet...

26% is good.  100% is better.  You know you're going to do it.  Pull the trigger!  You don't have to pay it all now.  $5 now, $25 next week, $10 later... keep the ball rolling.

Monthly donorship is a good way for us to avoid having to do the Freepathons.  Besides, it's a great way to pony up in style.
If you're on the verge of becoming a monthly donor or you think you would like to up your monthly donation a bit, has Jim got a deal for you. 
Check this out.  There's an added incentive for a limited time only.  (Always wanted to type that...)

Thanks to Freepers who have been frequenting the Freepathon thread to ham it up with folks over there.  It helps to raise the visibility of the Freepathon.

Jump into the Monthly Donorship special thread too.

The Spirit Of Allegiance says, "For those about to donate, I salute you!"  So do I.

Don’t forget the ‘shovel ready projects’!

Hey, I just realized! Burying the country is "shovel ready"!

[Snickering Hound]

Hundreds of unemployed and bored internet router guru’s make me feel so warm and safe.

"Shovel ready" and "green" jobs sounds like a description of someone following horses around town.

“I wonder how many of these folks voted for “change”?”

In that industry, more than half...could be 3/4.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Now, all they have in their pockets is “change” ;-)

[RabidBartender]

Say...where’s all the Herbert Hoover administration stories the media was running back during the 2004 election?

CISCO will HIRE over seas.

It's CLEAR the PRIVATE sector and CAPILAISM is disappearing in the U.S.. CISCO is making plans to make money elsewhere. The Bahamas and Sweden and were they are lining up.

It depends on how you look at it. The Trojans successfully defended their city against the Greeks. Then in a fit of drunken silliness, they blew it all by dragging that wooden horse inside their gate.

Harley-Davidson is laying people off to, and 800 workers are being laid off at that company that was supposed to build the new presidential helicopter.

This is that hope and change that CA voted for.

They can take those green jobs, the ones where they get rounded up and sent into the rice paddies to work for the day.

During my “corporate life” in San Jose - I had the occasion to meet a number of Cisco’s senior procurement and engineering managers.

Without reservation, I can honestly say I never met one I liked or would consider hiring... It always amazed me that folks would execute contracts with a company whose public face was so ...........twisted.

"Cisco employees? I think you have to be a flaming lib just to get an interview there. So, I’d say 90%+"

That's a ridiculous assertion. Most Cisco employees would fall into the category of Fiscal Conservative/Social Liberal.

Do you even KNOW a Cisco employee?
