$7 Billion Disaster — Why Target Failed in Canada [Click] Because of experiences I have had, I was particularly amused by the Target executives, who would never use it, spending a huge amount of money on doomed enterprise software. Hey, they get huge paychecks, so they must be brilliant, right?
Did you guys see where Rep. Santos(sp?) groped a male staff member, who reported him to the Capitol police, and was fired a couple days later? That skuzbag is beginning to give skuz a bad name.

He's simply amazing, and so dedicated to his people and country. It comes from the heart. If you can find his TV show online (it has subtitles) it's worth a look. He is that same person in that show, really.
Waste not, want not.

I imagine it doesn't instill confidence to just call the emergency over when you can see there is still a difficult situation ensuing.
