Smila, from Texas, buys a round of drinks for everyone in the bar as he announces his wife has just produced a typical Texan baby boy weighing twenty pounds. Congratulations and many exclamations of 'wow!' are heard.

Two weeks later he returns to the bar. Bartender Jim Jnr., says, "So you're the father of the typical Texan baby that weighed twenty pounds at birth, aren't you? How much does the baby weigh now?"

Proud Smila answers, "Fifteen pounds."

Jim Jnr., is puzzled. "Why? What happened? He already weighed twenty pounds at birth."

Smila takes a slow sip from his beer, wipes his lips on his shirt sleeve, leans over the Jim, the bartender and proudly announces, "Had him circumc*sed"

I was recently hired as a part time employee at a local agency, and I have a bit of responsibilities that are solely mine. The pay is really not enough, and the job duties are below my competency (I have a BA); however, I accepted the offer with the knowledge that I probably will not stay for over four months.

I am currently going through testings and various interviews for full time and much better paying positions elsewhere. I know that the hiring at these places will take two+ months. Ideally I would be hired by the end of the 2007 year, but I really cannot say.

The people at the local agency are genuinely very nice, and I feel bad about the situation that I will probably have to put them in. There is only one woman training me, and she is just great. However, I have not told anybody about my situation since the full time position is still not for sure.

When should I let my employer know about my desires to leave?? Is it weird to be feeling guilty?

Welfare, Section 8, WIC, Food Stamps, Medicaid, Energy Assistance Checks? All you stuffy, white, arrogant, ignorant republicans who live off "old money" and have a sense of entitlement like to talk about us working poor. You like to put us down if we apply for KidCare Insurance for our kids since we have no insurance because you take everything for yourselves and want to hold us down. You sit in your phoney office job with your crocodile shirts and loafers with tassles on them. Your wives beg me for sex because you can't perform.

Here's an excerpt from an article concerning the widow of Sgt Patrick Stewart.

quote from article ----------------------------------------
CARSON CITY -- When President Bush took time Tuesday to meet family members of some of the fallen soldiers from Northern Nevada, a woman whose husband made the ultimate sacrifice was notably absent.

Roberta Stewart of Fernley, who lost her husband, Sgt. Patrick Stewart, when the helicopter he was in was shot down in Afghanistan in September 2005, said she was not invited to the meeting that followed Bush's speech to the American Legion's national convention in Reno.

Other members of the Stewart family were invited to the brief, private meeting, including her husband's parents and brother, as were family members of others who have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Stewart said her in-laws were contacted by the White House last week in advance of the visit by Bush to Reno. But she received no call or e-mail extending an invitation.
