My October November 24, 2008

At the beginning of the month, my boss wrote an extremely flattering letter as a recommendation for an award here at work. I was beside myself with pride and it stroked my ego like nothing I have ever experienced at any job I have ever had. Of course the Universe couldn’t let that positive go by without dumping negatives all over me.
A week later the same boss sat me down and explained that I was the subject of a lawsuit. It appears that interviews I conducted last January, one of the individuals who did not get the job is contesting it. Discrimination you see. The fact that the person I recommended was of the same, shall we say character, is no doubt lost. So after some meetings with a lawyer, my boss and the other people who involved in the interview, the ball is the contestants court. Why I was the only person named in the suit when there were two others in the interviews as well, of course that’s life.
So I go to my doctor for my annual. He tells me that my PSA has spiked and that I am lucky because we caught the cancer early. After giving me this little tidbit he gives me a strange look and literally runs out of the room leaving me sitting there thinking about my chances. All of sudden, within two weeks I went from riding on a cloud to thinking my career and maybe my life was going to be shorter than I had planned.
The next couple of weeks were hell. I couldn’t sleep, my gut was aching all the time, I was drinking way too much and I was afraid I was in a death spiral.
So I go to the specialist, get “assessed” and another blood test.
The specialist called me back a week ago and told me that my PSA had dropped by almost fifty percent and that he could find nothing outwardly wrong. In his opinion, I didn’t have cancer. RELIEF. My stomach stopped hurting and my morale certainly approved. I did not want to go into the thanksgiving holiday with cancer hanging over my head.
The lawsuit is still in process, but at least my health is ok.
October, was a shit storm.
The Intolerant Liberal November 24, 2008

I was reading an article about an organization at Texas A&M called the Young Conservatives. It seems that these young people put out a flyer listing the names of Professors who had signed a petition supporting Bill Ayers. You remember Bill Ayers, the guy who is a terrorist and a College Professor in Chicago. Well the advisor resigned his postion with the group because he did not like the “demonization” of those college professors. I have posted the article here. What is interesting is the vitriol of those who comment on the article and the young conservatives,. It demonstrates the liberal/lefts complete lack of commitment to free speech and ultimately the democratic process.
Remember liberals are not for freedom, or justice, or compassion or even clean air and water. Liberals are for power, only power and nothing but power.

I have always been under the assumption that forced labor, particularly if you don’t get paid, is slavery. But of course, the liberal/left can promote anything.

“The grand delusion of contemporary liberals is that they [think they have both the right and the ability to move their fellow creatures around like blocks of wood – and that the end results will be no different than if people had voluntarily chosen the same actions.” – Thomas Sowell
