This week more than 3 airlines filed bankruptcy based solely on fuel prices. I picture Bush and Cheney sitting with fishing poles over an enlarging worm hole named "big oil" sucking up trains, planes and automobiles and a way of life. George giggles, points and says, "Oh, look. There goes another airline."

He complained about women in the work place; training them and how they leave to make babies, as if we did it to ourselves. Women were unreliable, he said, they lacked commitment to the job. Now, here's an idea on applying that double standard: Maybe we need to rethink men in the workplace since they can't seem to keep it zipped. Or maybe, even better, we need to remember that we're all human beings and fallible as well as equal.]]> Irritating Opinion skirkland 2008-04-01T12:00:00-05:00 http://blogs.graphicdesignforum.com/chrisd/2008/04/post-a-comment.html That's right, we're talking to you.
