Alaska Airlines
 
So when you ask Alaska Airlines if you can pay to carry your small dog on the plane with you they say you have to make a reservation and then call back in 24 hours to see if it is approved.  BUT if you make a reservation and ask to pay to carry your small dog and they refuse they charge you a fee to cancel your reservation.
 
Way to go Alaska Airlines.  Me and mr b won't be travelling with you.

Verizon
 
Question - when my conversations are "breaking up" or get cut off in mid thought and I ask Verizon why this happens in downtown Seattle I'm told it's because of the water and tall buildings.  So why does Verizon continue to solicit customers when it is unable to provide good service in an area where there are tall buildings and water?
 
Do you suppose the desert would be a better place for them?

Holidays

An open message to all those who would subvert Christian holidays for their own ends. Get off your lazy butts - create your own not-holidays (since holiday means Holy day and is religious) and write your own damn songs or at least be an equal opportunity creep and rewrite Jewish and Muslim religious holiday songs as well.

Stop stealing, perverting, corrupting my holidays.

If your road is so straight and your cause so righteous then submit it to the public opinion on it’s own merits. I warrant only those as rabidly brain dead as you will accept it.

Mideast War
 
Saddam Hussein needed to go... the United Nations was created after WWII to prevent another 1930s Germany.  The United Nations rather than living up to its  mandate took their cut of the money from each barrel of embargoed oil and France, German, and Russia were actively doing business with Iraq.  No confusion there why they didn't join the coalition.  With the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq to free their citizens it also sent a message to the Arab nations that while were in the neighborhood they could be next.  We done good.  Sending a message to Arab/muslim terrorists we would take the fight to their backyards.  I like it.

NAFTA
 
The exportation of American jobs and importation of foreign goods.  It is done and doesn't look like it will change back.  The good news is that any and all pollution will not in my back yard and imported goods creates jobs in transportation and Federal regulatory agencies.   So we get the goods and jobs and no pollution.  Additionally our recyclables go foreign to be recycled so they get our garbage and our landfills don't.

Michael Jackson
 
With no disrespect intended I finally figured out Who Michael Jackson reminds me of... He looks like a very bad combined caricature of Bette Davis and Joan Crawford.

Gun Control
 
I have no problem with those who are concerned about gun safety and the number of deaths resulting from guns each year.
 
I just wish they weren't such blatant hypocrites.  What they really want is to control others by forcing them to sacrifice their individual rights.  And while they're at it why aren't annual death statistics of violence against women by men, or cars, or AIDS, or cancer, or, or, or, or.

Fate caught up with me when I looked my boss in the eye and told him it was the year 2002 in the United States of America when he told me to make coffee.  After that it went down hill.  Terminated for cause – insubordination.  Hell hath no fury like a boss who has just been ‘dissed’.  Everything was liquidated while I tried to decide what I wanted to be when I grew up.  Rough year while I fought the tides of financial ruin………

Seattle and I have both learned to survive the slings and arrows of misfortune.  But Seattle needs to remember who provides the funds for their many politically correct expenditures.  It isn't the undocumented aliens sending millions south each year while drawing on social services.  Seattle elected leaders need to get their collective heads out of their rectums and stop providing a free ride for the drunk and drugged and illegals standing on the corners of downtown Seattle.
