CONTROVERSY? NO WAY!

The Beloved Employer made the top of the fold again today. It seems they spent a million dollars for Super Bowl tickets at Alltell Stadium for the 2005 game (I say, again, I don't do Roman numerals. Nor do I do cuneiform or hieroglyphics. They're all dead dogshit forms of communication. If I want to discuss a long-legged wading bird I'll fucking write "long-legged wading bird". For the record I believe it's Super Bowl XXXXVIIVIXXII).

I wander. So a Disgruntled Employee called the junior business writer at the local menstroplug and Spilled The Beans on this millie. "And they're laying off a thousand loyal workers while they spend this money!" quoth the DE. "It's just not right!"

Neither is life, fucktool. Get used to it. That million was committed three years ago to Get The Bowl Deal. It's called Corporate Citizenship. And in the grand scheme of things it's a pimple on the organizational ass.

I feel for the newbie writer, and the editor that let that non-event make the fold. Unless there's a dead body, or the CEO gets popped soliciting ho's on Phillips Highway (that was Modis! Not us!) there's a good ole boy network that turns a blind eye to certain things. And this was not a "certain thing". It was just a business decision that wouldn't rate a yawn any other day.

How do I sound? Pretty good, huh? I've been practicing my Subservient Eunuch posture all week. I think it's paying off. Besides, if you want to pick a fight, what about that new $2 million hangar for the corporate jets? Now that's a story.

I did not say that! I did not say that!
