Here is the news

Here is the news

Comedy Central had the Last Laugh special last night. Louisiana and Katrina were the big joke. But, Carlos Mencia brought up an interesting fact. New Orleans has the largest Guatemalan population outside of Guatemala and they all got on the busses provided to leave the city before the storm. So, the folks who stayed should have gotten on the bus. You have to accept responsibility for your own actions.

Entergy is apparently on its own after being devastated by Katrina. Dan Packer of Entergy New Orleans cannot understand this decision. I think the Feds are greedy and just don't want to spend any money to help a utility in trouble, but the Entergy building in Jackson, MS just got renovated and corporate headquarters is there. Along with 2 stories worth of luxury condos for the execs. Bite the bullet and live it down a little guys. Last time it was rate increases didn't go through because of Exec bonuses. Will these guys ever learn?

Tookey Williams got executed in California. He was sentenced to death 24yrs ago. If they hadn't waited so long to carry out the sentence, he wouldn't have written any children's novels. If he was truly a changed man, as he stated he was happy in his heart in an interview, then God will straighten that out in the hereafter.

Here are this weeks events happening in New Orleans. I think Louisiana people are standing up and showing whoever will care that this storm didn't kill the spirit of the people.

Maybe if you want a warm fuzzy feeling all the time get your news from HappyNews.Com


SPECIAL
And how about more Politically Corrupt Christmas Ideas:

It's beginning to look a lot like:
a) ChristmasHanukkahnukah
c) Kwanzaa
d) Indianapolis is a lock to win the Superbowl

Before backing down and permitting a full Nativity scene, a public library in Memphis agreed to allow the scene, but only if the baby Jesus, Joseph, Mary and the wise men were removed. This left a shepherd boy and some farm animals.

Next year the library will accept a Nativity scene only if it consists of:
a) A shepherd boy and some chickens
b) A shepherd boy and some ferrets
c) A shepherd boy explaining that the head librarian in Memphis thinks with a brain that may or may not be the result of Intelligent Design.

I am sure I will have more lately.

CHRISTMAS PARTY  ANNOUNCEMENT

FROM: Patty Lewis, Human Resources Director

TO: All Employees

DATE: November 8, 2005

RE: Christmas Party

I'm happy to inform you that the company Christmas Party will take
Place on December 23, starting at noon in the private function room at the Grill House. There will be a cash bar and plenty of drinks!

We'll have a small band playing traditional carols...feel free to sing along. And don't be surprised if our CEO shows up dressed as Santa Claus!  
A Christmas tree will be lit at 1:00pm. Exchange of gifts among employees can be done at that time; however, no gift should cost more than $10.00 to make the giving of gifts easy for everyone's pockets.

This gathering is only for employees! Our CEO will make a special announcement at that time!

Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Patty

RE: Holiday Party

In no way was yesterday's memo intended to exclude our Jewish
Employees.  We recognize that Chanukah is an important holiday, which often coincides with Christmas, though unfortunately not this year.

However, from now on we're calling it our "Holiday Party." The same policy applies to any other employees who are not Christians or those still celebrating Reconciliation Day.

There will be no Christmas tree present. No Christmas carols sung.
We will have other types of music for your enjoyment.

Happy now?

Happy Holidays to you and your family.

Patty

RE: Holiday Party

Regarding the note I received from a member of Alcoholics Anonymous
Requesting a non-drinking table ... you didn’t sign your name. I'm
Happy to accommodate this request, but if I put a sign on a table that
Reads, AA Only"; you wouldn't be anonymous anymore. How am I supposed to handle this?

Somebody?

Forget about the gifts exchange; no gifts exchange are allowed since
The union members feel that $10.00 is too much money and executives
Believe $10.00 is a little chintzy.  

NO GIFTS EXCHANGE WILL BE ALLOWED.

RE: Holiday Party

What a diverse group we are! I had no idea that December 20 begins
The Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which forbids eating and drinking
During daylight hours. There goes the party! Seriously, we can appreciate how a luncheon at this time of year does not accommodate our Muslim employees' beliefs. Perhaps the Grill House can hold off on serving  your meal until the end of the party or else package everything for you to  take home in a little foil doggy baggy. Will that work?

Meanwhile, I've arranged for members of Weight Watchers to sit
Farthest from the dessert buffet and pregnant women will get the table
Closest to the restrooms. Gays are allowed to sit with each other. Lesbians do not have to sit with Gay men; each will have their own table. Yes, there will be flower arrangement for the Gay men’s table.

To the person asking permission to cross dress, no cross-dressing
Allowed, though. We will have booster seats for short people. Low-fat food will be available for those on a diet. We cannot control the salt used in the food - we suggest for those people with high blood pressure to taste first.

There will be fresh fruits as dessert for Diabetics; the restaurant cannot supply "No Sugar" desserts.  Sorry!

Did I miss anything?!?!?

RE: The Stupid Holiday Party

Vegetarian pricks - I've had it with you people!!! We're going to
Keep this party at the Grill House whether you like it or not, so you can sit quietly at the table furthest from the "grill of death," as you so quaintly put it, and you'll get your stupid salad bar, including organic tomatoes. But you know, tomatoes have feelings, too. They scream when you slice them.  I've heard them scream. I'm hearing them scream right NOW!

I hope you all have a rotten holiday!  Drive drunk and die,

The Bitch from HELL!!!!!!!!

I'm sure I speak for all of us in wishing Patty Lewis a speedy
Recovery and I'll continue to forward your cards to her.  In the meantime, management has decided to cancel our Holiday  Party.

Happy  Holidays!

Special

I was just wondering how the 'Day that will live in infamy' hardly got mentioned, but they haven't quit talking about John Lennon all day today. It is possible that the guy who shot him was trying to help him. Have you heard Yoko Ono sing?

I think it shows the state of our culture. A day when the US Navy was sitting there sleeping. Golf courses filled with officers. The sailor getting ready for another lazy South Pacific beauty of a day. We were not in the great war. We had no plans of it. Then BAM, Zeros shooting and crashing, the entire fleet decimated. Oh what a day of loss. A day of pain.

Then some singer gets shot and this is the day everyone mourns. Maybe it isn't the State but the entire race that is doomed.

Enjoy your weekend, I'll be skeet shooting with Lennon and Ono LPs. LOL

Just a few thoughts to warm your brain.

Entergy Corp. asks PSC for approval of $2.45 surcharge
read it here By MARK BALLARD

The surcharge Entergy Corp. wants to add to monthly electric bills is necessary to stall efforts by Wall Street to lower the company's credit ratings, company officials say.[ I guess the record profits won't support them. The customers must pay for natures damage. ]

"NO MORE CALLS FOR BUSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Ty Bromell wrote Wednesday morning, Aug. 31. "My people are not calling for buses now." read it here

The media is beginning to get tough on Gov Blanco. This will spell her doom for sure. Not that her ratings before the storm were good. Speculations on the next Gov? I'll be @ my cabin in the woods pondering this as I continue writing in my journal.

Can we pull the whole thing together? Are the illegal immigrants the only roofers working right now? Wake up folks, we are being fleeced.

LSU lost to Georgia 34-14 and Virginia Tech was upset 27-22 by Florida State and the Saints did it again Haslett watched his team lose for the ninth time in its last 11 games despite a decent performance by the defense.

Sen Vitter responded to the Railway Legislation he proposed. Basically he wants to setup a Grant Program for states to be able to use to address railway crossing improvements and closures. At least it will be a state decision.
