I voted today.  Not in the GOP primary (though I could have), but in the Dem Primary.  Mostly because I just wanted to vote against a stupid sales tax increase.  The Chamber of Commerce has been ragging on the city to build them a Convention Center for decades.  If local business want the facility so badly, let them pay for it.

Curiously Newt Gingrich was not on the Republican ballot though someone named Keith Drummond is.  No clue who he is.

Actually looking at this, I have no idea what the point of the primary was  since it doesn't seem to be to select delegates.  Well what ever they get the favorite seems to be Mr. sleeps-with-dead-babies.

What do people use for hosting pictures for forums?  I was always using imageshack, it doesn't seem to work for me now.

The editor of the Sun was testifying at Leveson today.  Asked about page 3 girls he said they 'celebrated youth, freshness and natural beauty'...

Nothing "natural" on page 3.

Mr Obama last year described France as America's closest ally.

What part of that do you not understand?

Based on a limited sample size it seems to me they prefer carbon based entertainment.

  They seem to use a fair number of naturals.

I'm pretty sure most, if not at all, page 3 girls are natural these days.

I read that as it being a video filmed on a phone, not being something which happened as a result of an idiot with a phone. No comma after the phone I guess.

Make that two oblivious douchebags. 

Extra points for the "lean over towards the catastrophe because I care, but am still talking on the phone" move.

Classic dialogue with an obnoxious colleague today (we have similar "discussions" with her almost every week).

She: "Why are you doing it that way?" (Sarbanes Oxley procedure)

I: "Been doing it for years. In accordance with the head SarbOx guy for Europe."

She: "Do you have that in writing?"

I: "Yep, discussed it in 2009. Have all the emails."

She: "And you believe him?"

I: "He's the head of SarbOx for our region. Kinda comes with the territory. Also passed through half a dozen audits."

She: "Well, I don't know, I wouldn't rely on it."

I: . . . *writes email to SarbOx guru, confirming my understanding*

SarbOx Guy: "Yeah, absolutely correct. Quite a few people in our region have a poor understanding of the process, though."

I: *forward email*

She: *doesn't talk to anyone of the team for rest of day*



This happens regularly. However, she has seniority, and people in general tend to listen more to her than to other team members who actually understand some of our corporate mechanics.
