[coyotes_geek]

Where you been coyotes_geek?

Been a busy couple of weeks. Took a vacation with a bunch of work piled up before I went and after I got back.

This just in:

People can be bags!


Go figure.

What? You don't have peasants for those chores?

I did. But srsly. A throne?

Yes, the throne looks bad. Are you going to assume it's purpose? Aren't there any positive possibilities as to why he has it? Is it possible someone wanting to do a hit piece asked him for a picture in that chair?

The media is constantly telling people what to think. They do it with imagery as well. I don't read that much into it like most people seem to.

There are zero good reasons for a chair that hideous + dead cat + Liberace's Faberge Egg = bag.

if he had any real friends, they'd talk to him about his furnishings.

[TeyshaBlue]

Friends don't let friends decorate like 80 year old women.

I do, but I've always been fond of making sure there's a noticable, yet not completely disruptive, amount of chaos around the office when I'm gone.

He owns timeshares. In Florida. It's statistically impossible for his friends to be anything but 80 year old women.

[TeyshaBlue]

Good point.

[TeyshaBlue]

Must have plastic covers on the couch too.

I think they read it but they are confused. No one is going to get fired for voting for the blue team. No one is "telling" them how to vote.. Think progress got em worked up. Silly. God bless

The implication was pretty clear, if somewhat couched.

Yes, I read the whole email.

I sympathize withe business owners, and do quite understand where he is coming from.

He could have been a bit less partisan in making his point though. He was also very one-sided in blaming government for problems, but not acknowledging the existence of public goods.

Indicative of how right-wingers can be blind to aspects of economics that they find inconvenient to their worldview, even as he rightly points out some of the shortcomings of left-wing rhetoric.

Nothing new.

The CEO of a massive timeshare company sent an email about the upcoming election to his employees yesterday, threatening to fire some of them if President Obama wins re-election.

So a vote for Obama is a vote for less asshole scammers preying on stupid people?

[clambake]

wants to build a 90k sf. house filled with that crap?

could you imagine having to work for this guy?

[TeyshaBlue]

This is why thinkprogress.borg is a ing joke. Moonbats at TP, take notice please.

An interesting stratagem "I am tired of people getting paid for not working so ill make more people who can get paid for not working"

Nothing new is right. God bless

If tasteful bully King Siegel will dispose of these people just because his taxes go up, then why are they working now? They seem to be unneeded moochers on his welfare roll.

[LnGrrrR]

I was like, "What the are all these people talking about dead cats for?!?" until I spotted it. Kudos.

[MannyIsGod]

lol thinkprogress.

Its all over the net. Not sure what it matters if TP has it too.

[MannyIsGod]

Fire? " I can’t tell you whom to vote for, and I certainly wouldn’t interfere with your right to vote for whomever you choose. In fact, I encourage you to vote for whomever you think will serve your interests the best."

Doesn't sound like he will fire anyone plus no way he will know who voted for who so no story. God bless

My smells like roses. I said it so it must be true.


The rest of that letter reads like an obvious threat. He's obviously trying to sway who his employees vote for even if he says he's not.

I linked a Salon article that actually contained rational commentary.....something that escapes the ZOMG MY HAIR'S ON FIRE!!!111 take from TP.borg.

[boutons_deux]

It was a general threat, not to any specific employee. He doesn't have to know who votes which way. And it's Gecko talking about cutting taxes 20% and cutting, maybe zeroing, corporate taxes, so OBVIOUSLY this asshole wants his employees to vote for the tax cutter. Maybe his employees are better at reading between his lines than his defenders here.

TB

[mavs>spurs]

boutons but remember romney paid a higher tax rate than you
