i can't do anything about, the bastard is a small fry. now i beat the drum on unions because unions are supposed to be egalitarian institutions that vote like mini democracies that treat everyone's opinion equally. do they? local 3 doesn't try to lean on it's members do they? and if you don't think so, can you speak for all members? i also beat the drum because speaking of drummer's queens village's favorite drummer, mistah houston is a teamster and he doesn't share his union presidents POV on political contributions. many of his fellow drivers on various and sundry movie sets don't share the union president's POV on political contributions. i could send you 3 or 4 stories about the SEIU using heavy handed tactics on people to leverage people into the union and then funneling membership dues into political contributions, even "free" cam-pain workers (mispell on purpose) on union time. is local 3 beyond reproach dub? can you really say that? can you? or do you just choose to believe that they are? and if you do then that's cool, you're entitled. but don't think that for a minute that your opinion matters any more to a large machine like a union than mine does to the largest media conglomerate in the country. i just don't delude myself.<BR/><BR/>—bbastard centralhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13429127863097239796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14623826.post-1126532931507187722005-09-12T09:48:00.000-04:002005-09-12T09:48:00.000-04:00funny you should bring up elitist crap and zach de...funny you should bring up elitist crap and zach de la rocha in the same sentence. now there was a self indulgent ship that went down in flames. did you know that che guevara who leftists idealize all over the place was in charge of castro's gulag and his firing squad. i guess it seems easy to put the dead up on a pedistal when he isn't there for us to expose. kind of like kennedy. oh wait our media found out about him. ok, kind of like roosevelt, oh wait they found out about him too.<BR/><BR/>>>and when they find a cheaper way to do your work whether it be with sinbad, patel or bruce lee your job does not have any protetcion. have you noticed that your wages have stagnated thanks to hallibush?<<<BR/><BR/>now let's get on the subject off of elitism and onto foolish assumptions:<BR/><BR/>1) you know how they work cheaper in my industry? we cut down the paper to cheaper stock. they delete an issue from the calendar year. you don't ship it overseas. <A HREF="http://beingabastardworks.blogspot.com/2005/08/on-grindand-petty-fiefdoms.html" REL="nofollow">how do i know this?</A> this is what my 4th quarter will be like. you CLEARLY haven't the vaguest understanding of how my business works. also, the amount of jobs that are outsourced has declined over the last 10 years. dub, please get your head out of the new york times and read other periodicals. they seem to have all the news that's fit to wipe your ass with.<BR/><BR/>2) up until this point, the bastard has had 4 consecutive raises in his consecutive years here. 2 of them were not promotion enhanced. i do okay. leading me to:<BR/><BR/>>>you are unable to buy a house to get away from the tenants next door because the standard of living has dropped.<<<BR/><BR/>the bastard cannot afford a house because in 1999 the bastard did not have a job that afforded me such things. i paid for my wedding out of MY pocket not my wife's family's pocket. the loot that one normally gets at a wedding went towards paying bills. i did not have a lot of leftovers after my wedding and now that i have a salary that can afford a 1999 house, low intrest rates has turned the market into the new get rich quick scheme and i can't afford a 500,000 dollar house. i didn't get any seed money so i continue to live in my building. i do ok there. i write about the neighbors because they are good material and it's not like you get better neighbors in a house dub ("hey plat! you gotta move yer cah")<BR/><BR/>sleep now in the fire<BR/><BR/>—the bastardbastard centralhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13429127863097239796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14623826.post-1126201691755698092005-09-08T13:48:00.000-04:002005-09-08T13:48:00.000-04:00if you say so.if you say so.bastard centralhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13429127863097239796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14623826.post-1126030416496105102005-09-06T14:13:00.000-04:002005-09-06T14:13:00.000-04:00very good thenvery good thenbastard centralhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13429127863097239796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14623826.post-1125841116431189582005-09-04T09:38:00.000-04:002005-09-04T09:38:00.000-04:00let me get this straight, you have given your unio...let me get this straight, you have given your union permission to use your dues for financing attack ads on politicians that don't subscribe to the union predisents ideology even if it differs from you own? sound a little sketchy to the bastard.<BR/><BR/>we hold off things for a combination of reasons. one is the old "if it ain't broke" ideology. two is the fact that local and federal facilities are perpetually waiting until the next business quarter to spend that money or bureacracy prevents them from moving money that cleary exists but is earmarked for something else. thirdly and this especially resonates for nawlins, the city officials are corrupt. ray nagin no doubt wanted to make it through his time without incident so that he can take money from his own people's infrastructure. i don't have proof of this but the city's past sets a precident for how we got herebastard centralhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13429127863097239796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14623826.post-1125799186993841622005-09-03T21:59:00.000-04:002005-09-03T21:59:00.000-04:00oh yeah, just caught your queensryche reference.so...oh yeah, just caught your queensryche reference.<BR/><BR/>sorry bout your shit weekend dub. mayhap you could take a plane next time. less frustrating?

scratch that walter cronkite DID pull out the N.I.M.B.Y. card on that one. so until some serious wind develops in a poorer or uninhabited area, there will be no windfarms in the northeast. so i guess it's a combination of the oil is there and there's nothing LA and LISS. can do about it.<BR/><BR/>yes yes yes. the top 7% are out there...wringing their hands...plotting on how there are going to fuck the little guy and light their cigars with 1000 dollar bills at the same time. those unions are out there selling your dues to the other party so they can do the same, dub. mwa mwa mwa mwa<BR/><BR/>—bbastard centralhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13429127863097239796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14623826.post-1125778648794653772005-09-03T16:17:00.000-04:002005-09-03T16:17:00.000-04:00Interesting query on the location of refineries, I...Interesting query on the location of refineries, I'd say they were thinking "it's Lousiana and Mississippi, who cares." <BR/><BR/>Yeah, it's more like 7-10%, I'm not looking for a fortune, I just want it a little easier, and I'm sure not alone in that regard.
