    We should paws for a moment and consider that the Pets of America union will make no concessions with regard to the no neutering claws in their contract. The CEO will have to work for a dog biscuit a year until profitabilty returns.

    When the Gorbal Warming crisis started I bought the rights to sell green automobiles on Mars. I thought it was a good idea because Gorbal Warming was melting the polar ice caps on Mars. I lost EVERYTHING too! I want my bailout and I will settle for $10 billion as I am not greedy!

    Pets.com sock puppet’s song
    If you leave me now, youll take away the biggest part of me
    No baby please dont go
    If you leave me now, youll take away the very heart of me
    No baby please dont go

    A love like ours is love thats hard to find
    How could we let it slip away
    Weve come too far to leave it all behind
    How could we end it all this way
    When tomorrow comes well both regret
    Things we said today.

    Compassionate bailout song.

    Would you say moving 750 additional call center seats to the Philippines is considered moving jobs overseas, Leather?

    Lamb Chop is an orphan, so she is doubly due a bailout.

    In recent weeks, a series of riots across central and southern China have flowered as disgruntled employees aired their grievances at the downturn.

    Today, around 500 protesters rioted at the Kai Da toy factory in Dongguan in the Pearl River delta, flipping over a police car and trashing computers in a dispute over payoffs to 80 fired workers. Tens of thousands of factories across the region have already shut their gates.

    This is what happens in a Marxist/Communist society. They are ENTITLED employment (since the government eliminated all competition).

    I have to admit, your post reads like a correct example of moving American jobs overseas.

    But, it is good for America said POTUS.

    I am not adverse to 25 billion either. Hell if I got that I would pay off every debt of every person on this blog and not expect to be paid back.
