Daily Kos: Yup, Ron Paul is still racist:

Finally, given the comments and emails from the Paulbots, I’m led to believe that they support Ron Paul for one reason and one reason only — because he opposes the war and American imperialism. Well, if that’s the case, why don’t these people support Dennis Kucinich. True, I don’t think much of Dennis, but at least his anti-war creds aren’t sullied by noxious views on any number of other issues.

Wow…really? How about a “stop wasting your money for dummies”? Maybe myspace needs a “stop getting phished for dummies”.

Slow Paced Environment

December 12th, 2007 | No Comments | Posted in randumbness by Roshan V.

Why do so many job descriptions feel the need to mention that the role is in a “fast paced environment”? I saw it a lot when I was searching for jobs after college, and I still see it today. If a company leaves it out, do they mean to say they have a slow paced environment? How about a normal paced environment?

“Hey Bob, thanks for getting this memo done, but let’s try to slow that down next time. We’re not trying to break any records here.”
