LOL! I know how he feels. I almost wish I wanted to smoke, just to offend the idiot leftists.
When a gal needs a five-figure severance payment, “You’re almost as tall as my wife” sounds a lot like “You must be this tall to ride.”
I witnessed that exact thing happen last summer. My boss was standing in the office of two women. The door was wide open, and there were other people in the hallway. Both of the women in that office hated my boss, but he didn’t realize the extent of their hatred until later.
One of the women was pregnant, and he made a comment to the effect of, “How’s the baby? Have you picked a name yet? Maybe you could name him Frank. Frank is a good name.” Frank was my boss’s name (fictional name for this story).
The pregnant woman took EXTREME offense to the thought of naming her baby Frank, because she hated him so much. She accused him of being inappropriate, and said his comment implied that she had had sex with him. She found that thought so repugnant that she retained a LAWYER!! And she had a“witness” because of the other woman in the office who also hated my boss.
My boss nearly got run off, even though his comment was intended to be friendly in nature. Both of those women were absolutely useless as employees, and they should have been dismissed long ago because of their horrible work performance. The women knew it, and there were massive layoffs coming, so they used this trumped up charge to keep their jobs for several more weeks (until the project ended). My poor boss had to put up with their superior attitudes during that time because they had a lawyer and they were untouchable.
Women can be extremely vicious, and Men are always on the defensive when it comes to these things. It’s always “guilty until proven innocent” in these cases.

Hey, Politico,
Here’s a gesture that should make you uncomfortable...
Another side to this is that it will hurt women's chances of breaking that glass ceiling. If a man is going to be under constant threat of harassment charges, maybe it is just easier (and cheaper) not to have women around. It can get to the point where a man can't be alone in a room with a woman. I think we are already there. Why risk it? Not that a woman would EVER use her wiles to try to get advancement. Not that a man could EVER be susceptible to such wiles. HUMAN NATURE!!!!!
I don't know where all this is heading, but somehow I think it isn't good.
Maybe bringing back “the slap in the face” without having to face assault charges, might work. Maybe enforcing an appropriate dress code for the workplace would help.
Maybe some practical education phrases to live by.
When speaking to your spouse, as in the vane of the Suzy Bogguss song lyric... “You wouldn't say that to a stranger”.
When speaking to a coworker of the opposite sex, always imagine your spouse (singles could use their mom or significant other) is standing right next to you. Hanging on your every word and scrutinizing your every glance. Would this affect your behavior? I think it would affect EVERYONE'S behavior. Just a thought.
* the 3-second free grope
* dropping pants any time you want
* having sex with someone you hold power over in the workplace as long as it is "consensual"
* abuse of tobacco products in the most carnal way
* categorizing victims are stalkers
* having to assign a division of lawyers to defend against bimbo eruptions
It means a couple of women were close to being fired for poor performance, so they decided to try for the big pay out and filed a false charge. They ended up not getting much and having to leave anyway.
If they are the "anonymous" sources now, then I would be willing to bet it is all because they didn't get the big payoff they wanted back then and are trying to make up for it.
PC and pandering is going to be the death of us all.
People like captivity but they abhor freedom.
At least that’s the consistent message of our society. We’re “uncomfortable” with original people. They don’t fit in.
That’s the bupkis the Cain campaign’s troubles have told us. Our elites are judgmental over relatively inconsequential matters and are dismissive of those that do threaten our future.
No wonder they dread Cain.
Cain is done. The media will use this trivial bit of oppo research to destroy him. ANY appearance of impropriety is enough to destroy righteous people, and the demonic Alinsky followers in the media know this.
Obama will face Romney, and either Romney will be paid to capitulate like McCain did, or ACORN et al will manufacture enough votes for Obama to win re-election. If not, then Obama will sieze the media via EAS, and declare martial law.
There is no political solution left for the federal government. It has become the sworn enemy of the people.
All I can say about this is I sure wish Sarah ran.
Her smears are much more interesting.
Excellent, excellent article!
11 But it happened about this time, when Joseph went into the house to do his work, and none of the men of the house was inside, 12 that she caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me.” But he left his garment in her hand, and fled and ran outside. 13 And so it was, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and fled outside, 14 that she called to the men of her house and spoke to them, saying, “See, he has brought in to us a Hebrew to mock us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried out with a loud voice. 15 And it happened, when he heard that I lifted my voice and cried out, that he left his garment with me, and fled and went outside.”
Thousands of years can go by and there is still nothing new under the sun. Sigh.
