The Economy Sucks
I was still reeling about ATA airlines when I heard about The SKYBUS dilemma. The problem is that the economy sucks. I know I am feeling a bit more pinched today, as my workload has been cut, due to reduced sales. I know this may not be exactly because of the economy, but the fact is, We are in deep shit.
ITS THE ECONOMY STUPID
Mr OMalley is not in a happy mood today. Last night he was in high spirits after getting home from the bingo with Mr Ganz and Mr Laytom. He was driving home and happened to catch the beginning of the Americas Truckin Network, hosted by Bubba Bo. Bubba was reading the news headlines and he was talking about threee airlines that went out of business the past week. He mentioned ALOHA, ATA and then he said that SKYBUS out of Columbus Ohio went out today. I said ARE YOU SHITTING ME. I was pissed. I was originally going to fly the first flight out of Wilmington Delaware on March 7, 2008. There was a major storm that day in THE BUCKEYE, so I called MR ELGARF, and I explained the situation and then we said that we would see each other soon. I was to receive a credit, that now is going to be a refund, but the fact is I was fortunate that I did not book another flight yet. I heard about all the people that got screwed when the airline just quit. How the hell can people do that. You had a lot of stranded people and they are pissed. If you look at the situation, the whole SKYBUS idea was a failure at launch. How can they sell $10 tickets when they are paying $3.00 a gallon for the distillate, known as jetfuel?

MR Omalley is Okay
The first thing that I must do to all me readers is to apoligize for not posting in at least a month. First of all my laptop died and I am still waiting for it to come back from California. Then comes the fact that since I was planning a visit to see two people that I blog with, that I could wait. Well to my dismay the visit was postponed due to the snow in the Midwest, so here I blog. I have alopt to catch up upon, so here it is.

CORPORATE DISHONESTY
As someone who thinks that he knows something, I am deeply concerned about corporate dishonesty. A number of months ago the Walt Disney Company announced that they were coming out with a movie starring Hannah Montana/ Miley Cirus, that was only going to play for one week and one week only. Now to the dismay of this author, that film is going on its 3rd week.
I am not one to complain about people making money, that is the name of the game, but the fact is that if they said "one week and only one week" that means that. Don't give me the "held over by popular demand". You knew that the film is going to be popular. You are charging a galling $15 DOLLARS A ticket. If that is not highway robbery, then what is?
I am all for Miley Cirus or Hannah Montana, but after her family said that she is not going to end up like Jamie Lynn Spears, this fact really disturbes me. For one thing DON'T BE SO FUCKING GREEDY and tell Disney that they should only charge a $2.00 premium, because of the 3d and the cost of the glasses from China. But this $15 bull shit. Families are struggling, and ripping people off is not the American Way

VALENTINES DAY
This Thursday is Valentines Day. I can not believe that it has been 5 years since the big Valentines Flop. Most people know what happened but it is funny, everytime that I hear a talk show host read a commercial for a particular Teddy Bear Company, I start to laugh.
For those that do not know what happened, here is the abridged version. Mr O'Malley on Valentines Day gave 2 stuffed animals to 2 girls at his place of employment. That weekend there was a major blizzard and he had 2 extra days off from work. When he came back to work he got called into his supervisors office and was told that by giving "sensual" gifts to those that one really doesn't know is considered sexual harassment. The two girls reported the incident to the human resources department, and the shit hit the fan.
It was another supervisor, who is friendly with a morning talk show host who saved my ass. This particular supervisor called that host who brought the incident up on his airwaves. This attracted the attention of Glen Beck, who at the time was hosting his 9am to Noon nationally syndicated talk show out of the same studios. Glenn Beck talked about this story on his airwaves, and when those in Mr O'Malleys workplace heard about this, the charges of sexual harassment were thrown out.
To this day Mr O thanks this particular supervisor, and every time he sees one of the girls that did this to him, he refers to her as THE SFACHEME. The other girl quit some time ago, but THE SFACHEME is still there, and as she gets older gets uglier.

Shut Up.
I just need to vent a little on the political race for mayor now that SUPER TUESDAY is behing us. I just can't stand listening to the DRAGONLADY. Her Voice gets on my nerves. Obama is getting to me with his bull shit, and I am disappointed that the MORMON dropped out. McCain, please use HEAD AND SHOULDERS because the dandruff really shows

THE MORNING AGOTFAY
I am really tired of people who bull shit a lot. A man that I work with is a cronic bull shiter. I do not know what it is but the fact is that a man that I work with can not be trusted.
At times he can be cool, but he can't be trusted. I don't know if this is because this man if a homosexual, and he may have had a hard time adjusting in society, but when I am at a Menza function, he can be the nicest person in the world. That following Monday, he can be an asshole, who just bullshits his way through society.
I am at wits end with him, because of his actions and because he just talks out his ass. I do not know what to do. Any suggestions would be helpful.
