response 1 of 72: Mark Unseen   Oct 20 18:52 UTC 2003

Yesterday at the library some man was yelling loudly for about ten minutes
(to himself, as the rest of us tried to ignore him), presumably at someone
near him who had been using a cell phone in the library, where you are not
expected to be carrying on a conversation (or yelling).  I don't see how it
would matter in a restaurant.

What is a Hummer?

resp:0 it's interesting how left-wingers and right-wingers, so to 
speak, are both on there ;>

But not surprising.... I presume those opposites were on the survey, and
the electorate is split near 50-50 on many things.

Walmart didn't make the weaseliest company list?  How strange.

  #6 is almost totally pointless but it does manage to suggest an idea
  that intrigues me -- I wonder what remmers is like when angry.

  As much as I've enjoyed his company on the occasions when we've met,
  I have at best a casual acquaintance with him.  Certainly I'm not the
  best judge, but I find it almost impossible to imagine him fuming mad.
  Can anyone else picture that?  (One thing I *do* know for sure, though:
  sabre is going to have to work a lot harder if he ever wants to see it.)

sabre only diminishes himself by his gratuitous and juvenile jabs at
various people.

Notice the Democratic party ranked as more weasely than the Republican
Party.  Finally, Bush's strategy makes sense.  But running the
Weaseliest White House in history, he draws all the weasely votes off
from his party, making it look better than the Democratic party.

Scott Adams definitely tilted this survey.  Why weren't cartoonists
listed among the choices for weaseliest occupations?

I'd say there's plenty to offend everyone in #0. ;>

Re #9: It does look like having both The White House and The Republican
Party on the same list split the Republican weasel vote.

  Either that or another on-line poll got "Freeped"..

Ah yes, Wal-mart.  The store of family values, savings, and cheap
migrant labor.

Wal-Mart just got raided over the latter.  How embarassing.  Couldn't
happen to a nicer giant corporation.

Yep...they got busted in several states, including Michigan.

I thought I read it was a contractor to Wal-Mart, not Wal-Mart, who
got "busted".

The migrant workers were busted...I think the Wal-mart sotres were the
site of the raids...I'll have to re-read the article.

The illegal aliens get busted for being illegal, but won't the company
that hired them, the contractor, also be indicted for giving them employment?
bhelliom
response 19 of 72: Mark Unseen   Oct 24 18:36 UTC 2003

I believe so.  Wal-mart may also face problems, if it cannot be proven
that they had nothing to do--deliberately--with hiring illegals.

Shouldn't that be the other way?  "Wal-mart may also face problems, if it can
be proven that they knew about the hiring of illegal aliens"?  Innocent 'til
proven guilty, and all that?

response 22 of 72: Mark Unseen   Oct 24 19:33 UTC 2003

Wal-Mart CONTRACTED someone to fill positions, which they did using 
illegals.  This was probably solely for plausible deniability.

response 23 of 72: Mark Unseen   Oct 24 19:59 UTC 2003

One NPR report talked about Wal-Mart executives being on tape talking about
these illegals.  So they may have evidence of knowledge.

My recollection of the news stories is that the Feds have executed
searches at Wal-Mart corporate offices in this case.
