http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/14/nokia-layoffs_n_1595599.html
Yes and Dell just announced they are "cutting" 10K jobs. Ask yourself .. are those jobs just disappearing or are they being reanimated in places like India, or the Philippines or Taiwan, or fucking China?
This is your modern day corporate AMERICA. Get used to it fuckers -- corporate America is selling your ass down the river for a little bit more profit. How does it feel?
Yeah .. the Republicans are all Alex Droog ..... [see picture below]
Eventually they will reap what they sow. I say give the fucking bastard enough rope -- they'll hang themselves.
Just one Independent's opinion .... btw ... thx. whoever left the last bottle of Heinekin ... talk to ya later....

A Sincere Plea ..
I was stationed at Offutt AFB (then SAC HQ) from 1980-1983 - Air Force Radar Technician was my job. Basically, it was my job to ensure that the base radar equipment was tuned and in and operating flawlessly so that the Air Traffic Controllers didn't crash land a jet plane into the cornfields leading up to the edge of the runway because of false readings from my group's radar system. Anyhow, for an 18 year old out of high school numbskull like me, it was a stressful job. That experience turned out to be one of the reasons I made a strategic decision that a life-long military career probably wasn't for me. Regardless - several years later, that technical training came in handy, and along with those crisis experiences I had gone through, led me to an opportunity to receiving some very rapid OJT in the Telecommunications industry when the then company Telecom tech resigned suddenly. And thus began my 21 year journey in IT - doing everything from pbx and voicemail systems administration, inside wiring, vendor management, cabling, circuit provisioning, deskside voice services, pbx and voicemail administration, etc., small and large project management, etc.... I've been doing it all up to this day. I am being advised by my current employer, who shall currently remain nameless, that my position in the company is being "surplussed" soon due to a client making an early termination on a multi-year contract. Imagine that .. after all the work I've done all these years ... I'm about to become a surplus human being. Ok -- never mind the (yeah - welcome to the fucking club) --- if anyone knows a Southern California company looking for a TDM or IP voice systems administration tech/administrator with years of experience on Avaya and Siemens pbx platforms, who's currently in training for Cisco CCNA certification, as well as an experienced inside wiring tech .. let me know. Just a a little networking going on here. Friends of friends. ..... Thx.

POP! Goes The Fucking Weasel . . .
What Rick Scott is doing in Florida with his voter purge project is simply put .... anti-American.
Trying to address an issue (voter fraud) that is so rare that one is more likely to be struck by lightning than to have an occurrence of it in their own voting precinct, Scott has re-invigorated the monster program that Katherine Harris created in 1999 and 2000 which was claimed to have the same goal (preventing vote fraud) but which in reality targeted minority and Democratic voters and actually denied several thousand eligible voters the right to vote on that fateful election day ... the same election which gave George W. Bush the state of Florida by a few hundred votes. This isn't rocket science folks .. the more Democrats and Independents that the GOP can prevent from voting, the better their chances at victory.
The DOJ is suing Scott and the state of Florida over this "vote purge" issue. Scott is suing the Federal government back. Guess who's gonna win that battle?? Assholes will be assholes though, and the Medicare fraud crook that the "good" people of Florida elected as their leader is gonna get his dick knocked in to the dirt some day soon. Can't wait to see it happen.

On a personal note ....
The Frolicking Gadfly was pondering his future a few nights earlier after latently realizing he had recently turned the ripe old age of 50 a couple of weeks ago.... and The Gadfly came to the not-so-easily-reached conclusion that a few adjustments were needed in order to maintain spiritual balance and harmony in his life.
The Gadfly is earnestly working on those adjustments, and who the fuck knows, maybe he'll become somewhat less of an irascible sonofabitch and perhaps even start advocating for conservative views and even vote for Mitt Romney ............. and the best I can hope if that ever happens - is that one of you pricks who calls me your "friend" just grabs my delusional ass and throws me off the 30th floor of a hotel somewhere and puts an end to that bullshit line of thinking.
Obviously I jest, yet it goes without saying that I have no intention of shutting my mouth anytime soon, no matter what lifestyle changes I make. Just something I thought I would share.

Fox's Carlson Asks Rep. Ryan Why His Message Isn't "Convincing Half Of The American Public" Who Support Obama
Horshack: Ooooh, ooooh Mr. Kotter! Mr. Kotter!! Can I answer this question?
Kotter: Ok Arnold - go ahead.
Horshack: Could it be that Paul Ryan is just a big up his nose with a rubber hose lying piece of shit?
Kotter: Good job Arnold. You get a lollipop.

Ya Mean Them Thar' Jobs Is Just an EEllusion? Well I'll be a Suck-Egg Mule!
Well fucking duhh!!
"As West Virginia's unemployment rate jumps to 6.9 percent, some Mountain State residents believe a hiring boom in the oil and natural gas drilling industry is just around the corner.
However, information from WorkForce West Virginia shows the Marcellus and Utica shale drilling industry has not created much direct employment over the past two years.
"We've not seen much change in employment in the oil and gas industry over the past year. Employment in oil and gas in 2010 was 2,244, dropping slightly to 2,179 in 2011," said WorkForce spokeswoman Courtney Sisk."
Once again, we dirty goddamn hippies were right - in stating for years that the energy industry has vastly and deceitfully overstated it's economic impact on states as far as job creation goes. How much are people willing to allow these cocksuckers to rape and pillage their natural resources until they get it through their thick skulls that somebody is making a whole helluva lot of money at the expense of theirs and their children's natural environment and health??
It's so fucking infuriating that people just can't understand the extent to how much they are being manipulated and deceived - it just makes me ill - one might as well be talking to a brick wall when it comes to these goobers.

Someday America Will Grow Up. --- Someday......Sigh.....
Along with the ghastly, costly and mother of all failures - the "war on drugs", here's another issue this country needs to pull it's collective head out of it's ass about:
"The population of aging and elderly prisoners in U.S. prisons exploded over the past three decades, with nearly 125,000 inmates aged 55 or older now behind bars, according to a report published Wednesday by the American Civil Liberties Union. This represents an increase of over 1,300 percent since the early 1980s.
More than $16 billion is spent annually by states and the federal government to incarcerate elderly prisoners, despite ample evidence that most prisoners over age 50 pose little or no threat to public safety, the report said. Due largely to higher health care costs, prisoners aged 50 and older cost around $68,000 a year to incarcerate, compared to $34,000 per year for the average prisoner.
Unless dramatic changes are made to sentencing and parole policies, the number of older prisoners could soar as high as 400,000 by 2030, posing a tremendous threat to state and federal budgets, said Inimai Chettiar, a co-author of the report."

Oh So Rude!! But Pertinent!
The Rude one is asking a very, very important question -- obviously aimed at this country's worthless, gutless, and immature mainstream media:
"Oh, wait, is it okay to talk about Romney's record as governor? Or are we supposed to avoid that, too, like his record at Bain Capital, because we'd have to say what a worthless fuck he was and that's just mean?"
http://rudepundit.blogspot.com/2012/06/mitt-romney-is-lying-worthless-sack-of.html
Don't expect the media lapdogs to honestly respond to that question - at all.

He's Humble and Lovable . . . and Ready to Annoy Some Very Awful People...
The Frolicking Gadfly has returned from his very long (yes - too long) walkabout. Let's not waste any time with chattering about why I've been go so long -- and instead - get back to the job at hand - afflicting the corrupt and comfortable amongst us.
