We are the only technically advanced nation that gives its workers a measly two weeks vacation. I was pulling six weeks with Bell at the end, yet the Saudi's picked us to setup the operation of their telephone system because we were the most efficient telephone company in the world.

Ross associated with some very strange people.

NAFTA? Has Obama reworked it yet?

It's amazing how dumb our political conversation has become.

In 1992 CNN devoted 90 minutes just to the NAFTA debate.

In 2012 CNN had trouble keeping their mouths shut for 90 minutes while the presidential candidates debated all domestic issues.

The dumber they play it the more eyeballs they get. Fox taught them that.

Roger that.

A few days ago I read an interesting thought. I don't remember where.

The gist was this:

People aren't interested in details. They just want a say.

And so we are guided by twitter twats instead of wise men.

I watched that debate and didn't hear that Kenyan Marxist say "God" a single time. Hannity is right, the mullatto Nazi hates Jesus.

I'm voting for Romney because I feel guilty for all of the heinous crimes we've committed against the wealthy in the country.

Regards,
Dave
