Welcome back, Slogan. Kept looking for an HR Hero t-shirt in the crowd, but I didn't see one. Glad you had a great time. x:-)

One of these is made up? In today's world, I suspect all four are completely plausible! But, since there's no draft, I have to go with the New Haven kid who gets his friend to shoot him in the leg. That's about as hare-brained a stunt as you can …

Absolutely correct. 60 Minutes did a story about it last night. The ban is set to expire and the Republicans don't want to renew it (obviously) and the Democrats don't want to incur the wrath of the National Rifle Association this close to the ele…

Hopefully, France won't feel compelled to jump in and help now. IMHO, they haven't been a reliable ally since WWII. I think that with regard to the Russian tragedy, the terrorist community in general, and the separatist Chechens in particular, are…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 09-07-04 AT 06:40PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Can't tell you all how glad I am I wasn't in town Friday to witness all the carnage resulting from some simple observations I made. My ears were burning a lot - b…

Precisely. He mentioned "W-2" when he clearly meant "W-4." And I have never in my career met an attorney (or another HR practitioner) who advocates maintaining the I-9 in the employee's personnel file. While it may not be inherently illegal, it's…

If this was a true story, I'm sure they would - like charging the homeowner with filing a false report comes to mind. However, it was e-mailed to me so I have no idea whether it's true or not.

"Jerry Rivers and he's a Jewish guy who decided to change his name to appear Spanish. Any truth to that?" In the book, Secrets of a Corporate Headhunter (can't remember the author), that was promoted as a standard tactic for setting yourself apart …

Not from a news anchor, but I can't believe that the Gropenfuhrer used the "girly-men" comment again. One of my favorites is from Dan Rather's book, The Camera Never Blinks: He narrated a whole news story mispronouncing "heroin" as "HER-oyn" until…

It was probably Sam. She won't rest until there's a shoe thread on every site she visits. x;-)

Since both Sam and Safety are questioning the statistics, I will give the source: I made them up. x;-) No, seriously, they were published in the August 27, 2004 edition of Injury Prevention & Cost Control Alert.

Never been to NH - too cold and the people talk funny. x;-) (just kidding)

Sam, Ray called you a "chick." You gonna let him get away with that?

Almost as funny as the convention itself. x;-) [url]http://www.doonesbury.com/strip/dailydose/index.html[/url]

With all the hyperbole on both sides of the aisle in this election (although I have to admit Cheney was pretty funny last night - must be using David Letterman's writers for some of his lines), you might just be better off trusting your vote to the …

I am soooooo friggin' tired of seeing Michael Moore's pathetic mug plastered all over my TV screen! Watched the cameras on him at the convention last night as McCain called him "disingenuous." Moore mugged for the camera and did just about everyth…

Alas, Leslie, I think Kerry lost pretty big on points in the swiftboat controversy. Latest polls are showing Bush ahead of Kerry, despite Bush's 52% approval rating. I think what hurt Kerry most was the fact that he did not come out and condemn th…

Southern democrats are notoriously fickle?

It's better to keep one's mouth shut and be thought a fool, than to open it and remove all doubt. (I'm sure somebody famous said that, but I have no idea who)

Here in Portland you can sometimes see bald eagles out here in the suburban wetlands where the office parks are. They are very graceful and fascinating to watch. Recently there was a news story about two eagles that got into a bit of a brouhaha an…

Actually, I prefer to think of LBJ as the father of the HR Professionals' Full Employment Act of 1964... my job would be a lot more dull without his contributions. x;-)
-
Are you implying that the founder of the Great Society, signator to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and all around good guy (for a Texan) can only be celebrated by a liberal???? x;-)

"I did drive a Volvo 20 years ago." I dunno, ray. I think you missed the boat by not driving a Pacer - 'course, you could always go find one and restore it x;-) No blind spots and you could have enjoyed that beautiful upstate NY countryside. Kno…

"I sure would like to know what his said that was so important he ultimately died over it. Scorpio" He was giving a speech critical of the Swiftboat Veterans for "Truth" and their attempts to distract voters from the issues by dredging up irrelev…

He died of pneumonia, din't he?

Wasn't it William Henry Harrison, or something like that? Caught pneumonia during his inaugural address and died shortly thereafter?
