Ray-slamic Jihad, freedom for fish!
This story raises a few questions… Especially considering seven years ago on a plane flying over the U.S. — sometime in September, I believe, 2001 — several people were able to make cellphone calls with no problem whatsoever as they alerted loved ones to the fact that they had been hijacked.
But… But…
Ah, let's not go there. It's Good Friday, maybe today I'll not scream Conspiracy! or any of that stuff. No, perhaps today I'll even avoid the subject of the crucifixion (cruci-fiction, indeed) of some poor carpenter with New Age leanings.
I am worried about THIS however. Jesus, the rays are really out to get us these days! First Steve Irwin, now this… You know, if it could be proved that these fish had Islamic tendencies the U.S., Australia and the rest of the Coalition of the Willing would have nuked every last ray out of the water. In the process they'd have rendered the rest of the ocean uninhabitable for other marine life and possibly brought about an end to all life on the planet, but they'd have taken care of Business!
Thank Christ fish are atheists.
Here's a Hicksian quote, to put you in a reflective mood on this most religious of holidays:
"Money doesn't buy you anything, it's an illusion. If there was no money on this planet, there wouldn't be any less food. It's a big cocksuck, man, money's time is up. That's what people are realizing, hopefully. The grossest thing about poor people is that they crave money. Everyone should wear blue jeans and three T-shirts and eat beans and rice and break every fucking company, break 'em."
Especially fucking STARBUCKS — what a bunch of cunts.
SAN DIEGO (AP) -- A Superior Court judge on Thursday ordered Starbucks to pay its California baristas more than $100 million in back tips and interest that the coffee chain paid to shift supervisors.
San Diego Superior Court Judge Patricia Cowett also issued an injunction that prevents Starbucks' shift supervisors from sharing in future tips, saying state law prohibits managers and supervisors from sharing in employee gratuities.
Starbucks spokeswoman Valerie O'Neil said the company planned an immediate appeal of the ruling, calling it "fundamentally unfair and beyond all common sense and reason."
Valerie O'Neil is quite plainly talking out of her arse. Why should management get any of the tips the baristas make? Are they serving coffees? Are they the ones interacting with the customers? Are they the ones earning the fucking tips? No. So fuck 'em.
How anyone can seek to justify taking money from the lowest paid workers and giving it to people higher up the pay grade than themselves boggles the mind.
The fact that Starbucks is planning to appeal sickens me. When will people listen to Bill and STOP BUYING THIS SHIT FROM THESE EVIL FUCKS?
If the coffee was any good I could understand why Starbucks exists, but it isn't, so I can't. And even if it was the best fucking coffee on the planet, HELLOOOOOO! Starbucks!? Is there any more naked and powerful symbol of corporate greed? It's called StarBUCKS for crying out loud! No mention of coffee, "Stars and, uh, Bucks — yeah, that's what our brand's all about!"
Just cos Bob Dylan gave them a slice of his soul does not mean they're nice. Bob Dylan would sell bits of his soul to anyone who offered him a ham sandwich, in much the same way as, say, Gene Simmons might…
Grrantrantrant…
