Didn't Howard Stern perform the act once on TV?

Re: 2024 Presidential Primary Polling Thread

Looks like Joe is toast. Anyone interested in buying a nice double-wide mobile home on Florida's gulf coast, there may be one coming available later this year.

The Mulroney Years

How we, on the left, despised Mulroney. Now, in hindsight, we can look back on those years as the good old days. In comparison to the Conservatives and Liberals of today, Mulroney was a progressive. There are some Canadian politicians whose death would be welcome news to me. But Mulroney wasn’t one ...

Glad I opened up the Wiki link. I had someone else in mind when I seen the name. Looked it up, for some brain fart reason I pictured Richard Belzer.

And a damned good thing you did open it. The consequences could have been serious.

Re: Question for Turkey Top

Normal progression period is 6 - 12 months. On a higher skilled job it could be up to two years. By that time the new guy should be performing as well as the 30 year guy. If he isn't, the Company should have got rid of him during his probationary period.

Re: Question for Turkey Top

That’s exactly what it is. That would be different than having a pay scale that rewards longevity and seniority though and I assume your union is all in on it taking years to get from starting wage to top pay? No, we aren't all in for that. I recall one instance where we reluctantly accepted a five...

Re: Question for Turkey Top

What you're referring to sounds like a classic two-tier wage structure. Everyone hired after a certain date works at a lower pay scale and never has an opportunity to progress to the higher rate. That stuff is toxic and my Union refuses to even consider it. Employers don't even try it with us anymor...

Re: Fox Host: Blacks Will Vote for Trump after Sneaker Release

They're also saying that Trump's arrests endeared him to the black population. His mug shot gives him street cred.

Re: Proof that unions are stupid - Teamsters give $45,000 to Trump

Sorry for your luck, being in a union and working for Obama. No need to be sorry for my luck. It wasn't luck that brought me to the Union. I signed up. Without my nice Union pension, I couldn't afford to live the life I live. I wasn't working for Obama. I was working for my Union. Foreigners are no...

You have no boots on the ground over here. Calling the International Brotherhood of Teamsters illegitimate proves it.
My Union is an International Union. We have "boots on the ground" in both of our countries.

Before I retired I was called to the US to work on Obama's campaign.

It isn't Unions, plural. It's the Teamsters. No legitimate Union would give Trump a nickel.
