Pissed off my employer yesterday
I noticed my employer had the flag at half mast. I asked why the flag was flying at half mast and he replied that Indiana had lost 4 soldiers in Iraq over the weekend. I said, oh, I thought it might have something to do with the school children in Red Lake, Minnesota. I got a dirty stare like I must be unamerican to even mention that...

1. don't know why he gave you the dirty look
both the Red Lake shootings and loss of soldiers should be mourned.

2. Yes, but Our Bitch Mitch didn't order the flag down for Red Lake.
Our local Fuhrer makes a proclamation, and as the song said, not to LOVE our Fuhrer is a great disgace.

His boss was probably thinking "Boy, why you hate Murka so damn much? you a Commie?"

the Supervisor Class in Indiana workplaces seems at times to be overwhelmingly made up of Ditto-Heads.

3. The Supervisor Class in most privately owned workplaces is overwhelmingly
made up of Ditto-Heads.

Scared, impotent, white, overweight, Cheeto-gobbling, angry-at-the-world Ditto-Heads.

7. Kindly remind him
that the Native Americans were the original people here. I love it when my husband is told to 'go back to where you came from', as he's part Cherokee. His response is "Oh, you're giving me back the tribal lands in the East that Jackson stole? How about reperations for the Trail of Tears?"

8. I used that one, too.
Back when I was convinced that I was 1/4 Tsalagi.

"Why don't you go back where you came from?"
"The Great Smokey Mountains? I'd LOVE to! You gonna restore my family's land to me, too?"

Oh, why am I no longer convinced? The trail went cold before I could find any ancestors on the Rolls. Them's the rules, no enrolled ancestors, no recognition....

Good for him. I like that. A good mixture there. Both the truth and sarcasm. :)

4. The Supervisors have no skills and are innapropriate w/ their reactions
The superivisors don't react appropriately to comments on human issues and are just miserable people who are disturbed.

5. Hey, the shooting didn't happen at White-Flight High School,
so why would he care? And he's wondering why you care. I wonder if he'd like to make a statement about it being past time to bring the soldiers home?

6. He thinks everyone of his employees has drank the right-wing
Kool Aid and are card holding NRA gun freaks.
