I hope you didn’t hurt his feelings Doug. That would be a shame. A darn shame. Poor, Jack. Some blogger was disrespectful and very mean to him. That just won’t do.

It was Welch’s wife tweeting that.
His twitter finger is too limp to pound out the characters.

I remember reading how Welch had intervened to have NBC declare Bush the winnder over Gore becuase he thought the former would be better for the economy. We really are living in his world then, the fucker.

My new ‘hood is supposed to be pretty red demographically (the immediate vicinity), but the wider area is wonderfully diverse. The people not “white bread” like me are, as Biden once remarked “clean,” in the unremarkable sense (regular people). Many people came to the region to escape inner city crime and for affordable housing. I swear, almost every person I meet (mostly in the local stores) could be the focus of corporate training videos. They’re well-spoken and polite naturally without any sense that they’re putting on a facade.
I like it here very much.

I’ve never been able to find it, but I swear Welch was on Tweety in ’06, fairly whimpering about how he couldn’t understand how everything had gone so wrong, when President Bush made all the right decisions! He really looked Grampa Simpson.

I actually self-deported myself from Twitter.
LanceThruster
@BGinCHI: Just west of Palmdale. Bought the place from a lawyer friend who moved his family to New Zealand (he said the US laedership and voters were getting “meaner and stupider” and he didn’t want to be around for the meltdown).
Was living in my father’s house when he remarried (was my home on and off for 50+ years) but my sister has moved in.
These punks ruined the place but I was the only neighbor who spoke out. My lasting revenge is to call the sheriff on their illegal fireworks block party every 4th of July (my last words to them were “hope you like shitty fireworks”).
Funny thing, I’m still in Mike Antonovich’s district (that sucks). I thought he could help on the noise disturbance issue but when all was said and done, nothing really changed. My suister thinks they’re not that nbad, but she doesn’t realize that to get them to the point they’re at, took a hell of a lot of holding their feet to the fire.

@Yutsano: Malia has more of barack’s angular features. Sasha looks more like Michelle, imo.
I have noticed that with families with two or more children – one looks more like the father and one more like the mother. Not sure why that happens, but it seems more than coincidence.

Bringing back Toonami was the first good decision Adult Swim made in years. I like Aqua Teen and Sealab, but there’s a pretty high crap-to-good ratio on that block.

@arguingwithsignposts: I completely agree that it often seems like one child in a family got all of the dad’s genes and the other got all the mom’s.

This is the guy who said he’d happily build a factory on an aircraft carrier, and float it around the world to wherever the cheapest labor sources were. This as he filled his pockets with defense dollars. Clearly a true patriot.
I’d call him a harbinger of the Galtian parasites who came after him, but they don’t even bother to build the factory.

WTF Doug, I decide to go watch all the stuff I missed earlier this evening and you run a post about the tweets of Mr. Human Turtle Jack Welch? I cannot stand this mofo who’s made hundreds of millions of $$$ off this country, this mofo whose corporation aggresively used every freaking tax loophole so they don’t pay any taxes and then had the brass to complain about high corporate taxes???? That Jack Welch??? The same Jack Welch who was getting free sports tickets and free use of the GE corporate jet as part of his retirement package until his ex-wife to be released details of this agreement. Yeah,, Jack’s just a regular mini-me Newt Gingrich. Anyhoo, Jack comes on Morning Ho every so often. I believe the reason MTP’s hosts are so Republican friendly and Democratic unfriendly because of Jack Welch. Yeah, corporations are people, according to Jack.

She’s 14, and pretty much every girl is done growing before age 16. I went from 5’4″ to 5’10” between age 12 and 14, but only grew another 3/4 inch after that.
I hope she’s a little more graceful than I was at that age, because I remember icing a lot of bruises. Being tall usually means having giant flipper-feet that trip you up.

Fuck Jack Welch in the ass with the National Debt.
He had the stupidest fucking workplace philosophy that it has ever been my displeasure to hear or read, namely that the lowest 10% in any company should be fired on an annual basis; that cocksucker should be hoisted up on a chain by his twisty bits & each one of his pubic hairs plucked out with a pair of rusty tweezers.

Fuck Jack Welch. He’s a hack who thinks he knows everything about the economy because his tenure at GE was lauded by the business “press.”
Jack has gotten too smart for his own good. He is pretending to knowledge and insight that he doesn’t have and can’t have because he hasn’t done even a cursory scan of the situation we’re facing. Just the same ol’ b.s.- more tax cuts for the wealthy and less regulation for business.
