LiveBlog for Tuesday, March 16, 2010

Mornin! FYI, the last President to try to take the currency away from the Fed was Kennedy. Look what happened to him.

if you can't create money, what will you use as a token of exchange? barter?

196 -- the purpose of money is to create fairness. It mostly fails miserably.

163: The point is this: NOBODY should be able to just "create" money. Money should have a reason for existing.

the government "creates" money by raising the debt ceiling.

#193 - Marsher marsher marsher.

192: am i being too much of a masher with spiffy ?
alda farrell cats agree.

189: yeah.
hey gary ! burgh off !

183---Hey Duane. People were busy today. That's all. Ides of March and all.

186: if you were an employer, i'd mimic that mimic and go all squeezy for the interview.

185---LOL. Improvising with radar. You should probably keep that to yourself. ;-)

184: a venison day ?
dear and well done ?

182: "Nothing impresses an employer quite like improv skills."

yeah, but the dumb and dumber torch incident may have been gilding the lily.

179---I love that honesty. If I were an interviewer I'd toss out some of these rules.

174: "....If I were that clever and manipulative am I really the kind of employee you need or want?"

alls i know is, it landed me this sweet air traffic control gig. - mostly i just improvise.

164----Betty White is going to do SNL. I think that's awesome. I think they should have "Seniors Month" on SNL and invite some other elderly famous people to host it. I'm serious. It would be good for the children to learn to appreciate the white-hairs.

Bye peoples! Have a venison day!

180 :)

#166 - Nothing impresses an employer quite like improv skills.

Have a great day, everybody!

#177: I think we reached "Spa"

170: "...Sounding desperate. - I have probably failed at this rule too...."

reminds me of when i tried out for limo driver - i was by far the least under pressure, because i was already employed, and just trying to prepare for hard times... and i witnessed a parade of men making it an absolute point to remember to cling at the door after it was over and announce "i'm amazingly desperate, so will you at least be calling some time today, or more hopefully, in the next two hours, or could you hey, maybe just give me some sign if there's any chance of a decision in the next twenty minutes maybe ?"

Whats-her-name, John Edward's mistress, she is obviously a caring, empathetic human being flaunting her affair in a magazine while Elizabeth still copes with cancer.

Sheesh what a pitiful showing today, MookenBloggenators.. ;-(

'Parta no where in sight.

See you, better do better tomorrow.

ABBA was only good while watching The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert

And Hope, don't forget Hope (she's a slut!)

166---LOL, I know, I know. I have read this advice before and it just frustrates me. The advice can be summed up thusly: "Act, but don't act."

Oh geez. If I were that clever and manipulative am I really the kind of employee you need or want?

165: Yes, the are magic shoes. Just click the heels together, close your eyes, and repeat, "there's no place like home"..

165: truly magical - they were involved in record numbers of injuries.
- kids would watch the impressive running and jumping filmed in fisheye lens, and they would put these on and attempt spectacular deeds.

Yep. We're falling down the ABBA rabbit-hole again.

42. Letting your nervousness show.

In other words, be honest but for God's sake, don't be yourself!

45. Sounding desperate.

I have probably failed at this rule too.

47. Oversharing.

I've probably done this wrong too.

50. Failing to ask for the job.

I don't know how to do this. So what does one say? After the interview do you just blurt out, "So are you hiring today?" Or is there some clever way to say it that makes people think you're wonderful?

He's got a "BA"!

162: " Taking a seat before your interviewer does. - Wow. I didn’t even know about this one."

yeah. usually, the interviewer like to have the ventriloquist position.

160: now, now, be nice. - the story of noah happened way after gabby's time.

158: "....(If you match the communication style of your interviewer aren’t you then acting or mimicking? And if you act during the interview aren’t they then hiring a phony? Is that what they want? Just to hire mini-mes opr those who can act well enough to portray mini-mes?)"

yeah, way too much stress on this one - i got tired of doing the same old borat schtick every time i had to transverse the hindu kush, and just started winging it jim carrey style.

159---So these are magic shoes!!??

157: "....Producing perhaps 1,000 horsepower!"

just when i had gotten the SNL colon-blow commercial out of my memory.

#153: agreed. If the big banks can just 'create' money why can't the federal government? If the gov't loaned money and charged interest all that interest would go directly into the federal coffers.

37. Taking a seat before your interviewer does.

Wow. I didn't even know about this one.

We always wanted to saw Texas off, let it float out, and drill a hole in it to sink it in the Gulf of Mexico..

140 - You fail at Cosby history. Did you read a Texas textbook?

138 - So close. But thank you for reminding me of many awesome hours in front of a glowing screen. (Seriously! Loved that game.)

152: "...For some “odd” reason, I am dealing with a serious lack of confidence. Hmmm…I wonder why that is?"

you can probably find P.F. Flyers online.

I suck at these too:

16. Failing to make a strong case for why you are the best person for this job.

25. Neglecting to match the communication style of your interviewer.
(If you match the communication style of your interviewer aren't you then acting or mimicking? And if you act during the interview aren't they then hiring a phony? Is that what they want? Just to hire mini-mes opr those who can act well enough to portray mini-mes?)

Posit this: the motors, which are switched to generator mode for regenerative braking, somehow experienced a reverse chrono event, reversing the effect, and ADDING to the positive torque, a MULTIPLICATION FACTOR, positive feedback, instability toward saturation.

Producing perhaps 1,000 horsepower!

Holy effing Christ. Texas...just go away. Seceed. Fall off the planet.

149: of all the contradictions they built in here, my favorite is the blend of 25 / 26 / 27.

Will he last progressives please exit Texas, so that we can start building the wall?

123: The problem with the financial industry goes very deep:

1) We don't own our money. Our currency is nothing more than IOUs to a group of private banks.

2) President Clinton signed the repeal of Glass Stegall.

3) The only way we get our economy back is to take back our currency and take it out of the hands of the (private) Federal Reserve Banks.

4) We also need to put people in positions of power in government that oversee the economy who are not from banking or wall street. Remember, banks don't produce anything. Banking, as an industry, should be a support of our larger economy, it should be not a major means of economic activity. The banking industry consists of 22% of corporate profits. When 1/5 of an economy is from an industry that really adds no value, the whole thing is in trouble. This is where putting Wall Street types like Geithner, Summers, Rubin, etc. is so disastrous. They don't know how to actually produce anything or add value. We should be putting people who work in manufacturing, production, construction in charge of places like Treasury to orient policies toward growth in those areas and putting banking, as merely a support role, in its proper context.

Here's one I always mess up on:

15. Being unable to explain how your strengths and abilities apply to the job in question

For some "odd" reason, I am dealing with a serious lack of confidence. Hmmm...I wonder why that is?

And NCLB also allowed on-campus recruitment:
