Baghdad Bob still alive but sick. Guy that died was Tariq Aziz



Ol Baghdad Bob was let out of jail when it became clear he was a nobody in Saddam's govt, like most press secretaries.

Both Baghdad Bob and Josh Earnest just tell the press what their bosses tell them to.

I guess the prophet Mohammed is not the only one you can't make fun of...

Pink Slips at Disney. But First, Training Foreign Replacements.

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/04/us/la ... t_msn&_r=0

ORLANDO, Fla. — The employees who kept the data systems humming in the vast Walt Disney fantasy fief did not suspect trouble when they were suddenly summoned to meetings with their boss.

While families rode the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and searched for Nemo on clamobiles in the theme parks, these workers monitored computers in industrial buildings nearby, making sure millions of Walt Disney World ticket sales, store purchases and hotel reservations went through without a hitch. Some were performing so well that they thought they had been called in for bonuses.

Instead, about 250 Disney employees were told in late October that they would be laid off. Many of their jobs were transferred to immigrants on temporary visas for highly skilled technical workers, who were brought in by an outsourcing firm based in India. Over the next three months, some Disney employees were required to train their replacements to do the jobs they had lost.

“I just couldn’t believe they could fly people in to sit at our desks and take over our jobs exactly,” said one former worker, an American in his 40s who remains unemployed since his last day at Disney on Jan. 30. “It was so humiliating to train somebody else to take over your job. I still can’t grasp it.”

Disney executives said that the layoffs were part of a reorganization, and that the company opened more positions than it eliminated.

But the layoffs at Disney and at other companies, including the Southern California Edison power utility, are raising new questions about how businesses and outsourcing companies are using the temporary visas, known as H-1B, to place immigrants in technology jobs in the United States. These visas are at the center of a fierce debate in Congress over whether they complement American workers or displace them.

Fuckin Mickey Mouse.

Well, Oprama is the immigration President.

Program started in 1990 under GHW Bush.

Biggest expansion was under GW Bush in 2004.

Somehow, the Clinton Global Slushfund got a seven-figure honorarium in the process.

Not to be confused with a seven-figure Hastert hushfund.

Why isn't DSL all over this? Strange.

I understand Bush's expansion of the foreign workers program, but Obama's illegal immigration program dwarfs what George Bush did in flooding the marketplace with cheap labor.

"given strong enough political will"

In other words, this can't stand on its own. It needs substantial subsidies to work.

The 'Pool Party Cop' Was Sued in 2008 for Racial Profiling & Using Excessive Force

Surprise, surprise: McKinney, Texas, police officer David Eric Casebolt was accused of racial profiling and using excessive force seven years ago.

http://www.theroot.com/articles/news/20 ... content%26

This isn’t David Eric Casebolt's first rodeo with regard to being accused of harboring racial biases and exerting excessive force with African Americans.

Casebolt—the McKinney, Texas, police officer who was initially suspended, and then resigned, after a video went viral showing him violently shoving a female teenager to the ground during an arrest after a pool party—was sued back in 2008 by a black man who says Casebolt racially profiled him and used excessive force during his detainment too, the International Business Times reports.

In court documents, Albert Earl Brown Jr. described how in April 2007, he was sitting in a car with white female passengers, when Casebolt approached the vehicle and made comments about Brown’s clothes and the white women Brown was with.

In court documents, Brown said that Casebolt asked to search the car after allegedly seeing marijuana seeds, yet Brown maintained that Casebolt didn’t find any drugs after the car search.

Brown then alleges that Casebolt pulled down Brown’s pants to conduct a body search while another officer slammed Brown’s face into the hood of the car.

In response to the complaint, Casebolt said that he did, in fact, find marijuana seeds inside Brown’s car.

Brown was convicted of a drug charge stemming from that arrest, but he still filed a civil rights lawsuit against Casebolt and the other police officers that were present during Brown’s detainment. Brown argued that Casebolt conjured up a “fake charge” in order to cover up how badly and inappropriately Casebolt and the officers had treated Brown during the stop and detainment.

Addendum: She Got 3 and 1/2 years

Casebolt didn't get the latest memo. If you're a cop, don't confront or arrest anyone - especially in the cities. Let chaos reign and violent crimes skyrocket. It's better than getting lynched by the mob.
