What is up with this garbage? McCain and Palin have to put their foot down to stop this. McCain bears some responsibility because his campaign has fostered nasty rude attacks that dehumanize Obama. But at least McCain was man enough to realize the monster he has created and McCain tried to calm down his angry mobs of supporters.

Palin, on the other hand, doesn't seem to know or care how to act like a decent human being. She is really scary.

Yes, I have heard what the KKK has said, but I have not heard them say it in public. I don't remember if you were the one called who called them a party, but to clarify for whomever, they are not a political party. They are a hate group, just like the skin heads.LOL, no, yelling out I hat anyone isn't illegal. However, at any function, if someone yelled kill George Bush, it would be illegal. There is a huge difference between hating someone and wanting them killed.

I don't know about you, but I was brought up to believe using swear words was disrespectful. That's what I meant. The people who make a point of using Obama's middle name, do so disrespectfully. I won't go into what they are implying, as that has been posted numerous times, by a few of us already.

Hey peanut, I'm sorry to hear about your company. I hope you find another job soon. I think a lot of people are underestimating how bad it can get. Many people also don't realize, the financial banking crisis, is because of bad loans to primarily small businesses. It wasn't caused by the bad loans to unqualified people, so much. I hope the huge amount of money loaned to banks, will make them loan money again.

Good luck to you.

I asked my boss his thoughts and he said he may still have a job but he’s still looking – he has a wife and 3 kids back in Dallas (commutes to LA and was going to move but now, if I were him I’d stay, LA is too expensive and no job security right now) and I’m sure he regrets quitting his job in Dallas for this gig but they enticed him with a lot of stock options (I also had stock options but at the end of the day, its just a piece of paper) but if it took off we’d all be happy i.e. the gamble of a start-up. Now, I think I want more *stability* if there is such a thing, LOL

Thanks for the kind words and as I said looking at the *positive side* I don’t have kids or a mortgage and no credit card debt however I can’t wait to be gone so I can start signing up with recruiters and job searching, already posted the resume on Monster last night and sent out a few resume’s.

Agree and hopefully you’ll be okay – I’m hoping we’ve hit rock bottom and now we can *kind of* start going up from here even it’s a tiny bit at a time. I think some states are near running out of unemployment insurance (that is scary!).
