I took two of the USPS exams and passed them......and I am listed on the register.
I took the RCA test and past it ......... I took City Carrier test and past it.
I am also listed on the register as a Casual Temp. My question is...... Who gets the call to sub for a Rural Carrier or City Carrier first....Would it be a Casual Temp Worker that has already been trained and took the Postal Exam and failed it, but is listed on the resgister at this time as a Casual Temp......... Or should I get the call to sub first?

political leaders?
Indecision means uncertainty and in times of crisis--we look to leaders to lead us on a path that we feel is right and that we rely on the knowledge that the leader makes a decision weighing all the options. Often the public has followed the leader, and even backed the leader when the outcome is not so good. what do you think?

Elect Hillary by a landslide.

I am not an American, but I relish the thought of her becoming President. (It looks as if most US voters are starting to lean in that direction)

Apart from being the logical person to right the wrongs of the Bush (Mis) Administration, I absolutely drool at the reaction of halfwits like Hannity, Limbaugh, O'Reilly and Coulter.

Come on, guys, do the right thing, and as a welcome bonus, have a chance of making above mentioned dimwits squirm.

Bush didnt just send our soldiers to Iraq without asking for permission from Congress. He requested permission and he got it. Case closed. The War was and is legal.

Here is the proof.

The Kyoto Treaty is the international treaty against climate change. 169 countries have signed it, except for Australia (and the United States) ?!

I'm genuinely interested to understand Australia's reasons for not having signed.
As an Australian, do you agree with this decision?

In Pharmacology, all drugs have two names, a trade name and generic name. For example, the trade name of Tylenol also has a generic name of Acetaminophen. Aleve is also called Naproxen. Amoxil is also called Amoxicillin and Advil is also called Ibuprofen.
The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra. After careful consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced that it has settled on the generic name of Mycoxafloppin. Also considered were Mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin, Mydixaizin, Dixafix, and of course, Ibepokin.
Pfizer Corp announced today that Viagra will soon be available in liquid form, and will be marketed by Pepsi Cola as a power beverage suitable for use as amixer. It will now be possible for a man to literally pour himself a stiff one. Obviously we can no longer call this a soft drink, and it gives new meaning to the names of 'cocktails', 'highballs' and just a good old-fashioned 'stiff drink'. Pepsi will market the new concoction by the name of:

British High Court judge Michael Burton ruled Wednesday Gore's documentary should be shown in British schools only with guidance notes to prevent political indoctrination. The decision followed a lawsuit by a father, Stewart Dimmock, who claimed the film contained "serious scientific inaccuracies, political propaganda and sentimental mush."

Dimmock took the British government to court after then-Environment Secretary David Miliband launched a plan to send "An Inconvenient Truth" to all British schools, announcing the scientific debate over man-made global warming "is over."

The judge, however, sided with Dimmock, who alleged the documentary breached the Education Act of 1996 by portraying "partisan political views."

The court ruled the Guidance Notes to Teachers must make clear that:

* The film is a political work and promotes only one side of the argument.

When, as a society, did we lose our sense of humor? The comment by the representative regarding NASCAR and inoculations was, in my opinion, quite funny. We live in a time where only certain groups of people can joke and poke fun at others. It's aright for women to make jokes about men, but if the tables are turned, it's sexist and insensitive. It's alright for Chris Rock to talk about white people, calling them 'crackers' but you can't tell jokes about black people (yes, I said black, not all black people are African-American). People get mad at a wine called 'Gato *****' even though it's in a different language and is translated as Black Cat wine, yet has nothing to do with the English equivalent. Why can't we just get over ourselves and laugh a little. I make blind jokes all the time. I also make fat jokes too. Being fat and blind - should I be mad at myself? Should I sue myself for defimation of character? Should I have an article featured in Yahoo! as a bad person? Get over it!!!

"The first hijacking was suspected at not later than 8.20am, and the last hijacked aircraft crashed in Pennsylvania at 10.06am. Not a single fighter plane was scrambled to investigate from the US Andrews airforce base, just 10 miles from Washington DC, until after the third plane had hit the Pentagon at 9.38 am. Why not? There were standard FAA intercept procedures for hijacked aircraft before 9/11. Between September 2000 and June 2001 the US military launched fighter aircraft on 67 occasions to chase suspicious aircraft (AP, August 13 2002). It is a US legal requirement that once an aircraft has moved significantly off its flight plan, fighter planes are sent up to investigate."

Al-Qaeda is an innovative group. Aside from the usual suicide-bombing, it has some subtle ways to hurt its enemies. One way is by infiltrating our government. It has already infiltrated our society. It uses our Constitution to go against us. Listening to some of our elected leaders and especially those vying for the next presidential post, one wonders if we have a Judas in our hands. It's scary.
