Not that politicians are fond of knee-jerk politics, but it's an astounding coincidence that today, the day after Rumsfeld was rushed to Iraq, the Americans have let 250 prisoners out of Abu Ghraib prison.

It's amazing how coincidental well-timed El Busho's master plan is isn't it? I mean to think? That he'd planned to release them today, somehow knowing ahead of time, when the plan was drawn up, that the prisoner abuse scandal would surface and be coming to a head this weekend? Damn - that's amazing.

If he were any less of a president, one might suspect that this is a panic reaction to win voters over and calm the temper of the Arab world, but El Busho has proven to be such a master of military tactics, that clearly this couldn't be the case. It must have been in the "plan" right from the beginning.

Wow. I'm stunned.

And shocked at how the papers and news channels can report this without once touching on the fact that this isn't in any plan (there is no plan) but clearly is a panic reaction. Come on! Do you think we're all retarded or something?

The non-separation of the LDS church and Utah state.

Look - I understand that mormons think gays are somehow evil, subhumans. I understand that the LDS won't tolerate gays, doesn't like them and thus won't marry them. But for local government to overturn a supreme court ruling about gay marriage is taking it too far. This is religious persecution on a par with the dark ages. The church doesn't like gays, so it leans on its members in government to do everything possible to prevent them from having the basic rights afforded other couples who want to marry. In other words, the LDS church is forcing it's (wrong) opinion about the LGBT community on everyone, via state and local laws that it has had passed and enforced on its behalf. Why should non-religious people be forced to abide by the opinion of a religious cult that they have no affiliation with? Apart from anything else, the uber-conservatives in this state are always the first ones to bitch when something even slightly unconstitutional happens, yet here they are r...

Employees don't want much

I'm sitting looking at my company's internal 'learning' system this morning - hundreds of online courses that are available to all employees, some of which we're mandated to take. I'm not sure why the rest of them exist. We certainly don't have time to do any of the courses, and for the average employee, they hold no relevance to what we do, or want to do in our day-to-day jobs. I for one just want to be assigned tasks, and then be left alone. I don't need to do hazardous material training - my job doesn't involve hazardous materials. I don't need micromanagement. I don't need all the various efficiency and ethics courses that are available because I have common sense. I don't need to be instructed how to use the email system, nor how 'just in time' manufacturing is good for the company (it has no bearing on our division). Ok I understand all of this is corporate C-Y-A but so many of these things are just inconsequential to us. On...
