UPDATED: How to quit your job with style: Say it with pictures!

As a photographer, I cannot help but love how this young lady dropkicked her stinky boss with pictures!  This is the good old fashion American Spirit at its finest. The entertainment industry should snap her up pronto! 

The Chive: We received the following photos last night from a person who works with this girl. Her name is Jenny (not confirmed) - we're working our contact for Jenny's last name. Yesterday morning, Jenny quit her job with a (flash)bang by emailing these photos to the entire office, about 20 employees we're told. Awesome doesn't begin to describe this office heroine. Check back as we will be updating if we get more details.

UPDATE: WE have made contact with Jenny and will be posting a follow-up story tomorrow morning with more information.

UPDATE: Hoax :-(


It really pays to do your homework on the net.  It turns out old Jenny isn't real (boo hoo).

Left Coast Rebel:The story of 'Jenny the dry board job quitter' is certainly genius. Most importantly, is the story real? I hate to (potentially) burst your bubble:

(Media Memo) Today, our favorite job quitter is “Jenny” — “a girl” who left her job by sending co-workers a series of photos where she uses a whiteboard to insult her boss and expose his fondness for Farmville.

We know that the Steve Slater story is true. But what about Jenny’s story?

Almost certainly made up.

The story showed up this morning on theChive.com, a dude-centric site run by brothers John and Leo Resig, who own a series of photo/humor sites. Before that, the Resigs ran a site called Derober, which features doctored photos of celebrities in their underwear.

And Derober’s moment in the spotlight came back in December 2007, when it made up a story about Donald Trump leaving a $10,000 tip on a $82.27 bill. The story was convincing enough to fool Fox News and the New York Post (both of which are owned by News Corp., which also owns this site).

Brothers John and Leo Resig have fooled millions with previous gags so the likelihood of 'dry chalkboard job-quitting Jenny's' story being valid is slim. It's still funny though!

Maybe Americans will be blessed beyond our wildest dreams by Barack Obama quitting the job he hates anyway, via a dry erase board.

Robert Gibbs vs. The Professional Left

In an interview with The Hill, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs unloaded on progressives for their bitchin’ about the administration’s perceived shortcomings. 

The Hill: During an interview with The Hill in his West Wing office, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs blasted liberal naysayers, whom he said would never regard anything the president did as good enough.

“I hear these people saying he’s like George Bush. Those people ought to be drug tested,” Gibbs said. “I mean, it’s crazy.”

The press secretary dismissed the “professional left” in terms very similar to those used by their opponents on the ideological right, saying, “They will be satisfied when we have Canadian healthcare and we’ve eliminated the Pentagon. That’s not reality.”

Of those who complain that Obama caved to centrists on issues such as healthcare reform, Gibbs said: “They wouldn’t be satisfied if Dennis Kucinich was president.”

As to be expected, Gibbs’ remarks set the left side of the blogosphere ablaze. By midday, Gibbs was backtracking:

I watch too much cable, I admit. Day after day it gets frustrating. Yesterday I watched as someone called legislation to prevent teacher layoffs a bailout -- but I know that's not a view held by many, nor were the views I was frustrated about.

So what I may have said inartfully, let me say this way -- since coming to office in January 2009, this White House and Congress have worked tirelessly to put our country back on the right path. Most importantly, to dig our way out of a huge recession and build an economy that makes America more competitive and our middle class more secure. Some are frustrated that the change we want hasn't come fast enough for many Americans. That we all understand.

But in 17 months, we have seen Wall Street reform, historic health care reform, fair pay for women, a recovery act that pulled us back from a depression and got our economy moving again, record investments in clean energy that are creating jobs, student loan reforms so families can afford college, a weapons system canceled that the Pentagon didn't want, reset our relationship with the world and negotiated a nuclear weapons treaty that gets us closer to a world without fear of these weapons, just to name a few. And at the end of this month, 90,000 troops will have left Iraq and our combat mission will come to an end.

Even so, we will continue to work each day on the promises and commitments that the President made traveling all over this country for two years and produce the change we know is possible.

In November, America will get to choose between going back to the failed policies that got us into this mess, or moving forward with the policies that are leading us out.

So we should all, me included, stop fighting each other and arguing about our differences on certain policies, and instead work together to make sure everyone knows what is at stake because we've come too far to turn back now.

Robert Gibbs is such a tool. There was no need for him to apologize to the “Professional Left” (aka the far left progressives), the reason why is because the "Professional Left" is just like those crazy battered women who refuse to leave abusive relationships. Sure they are hopping mad about what he said, but we all know that come 2012 these folks will return to the polls in droves if it meant hearing “Madame President Palin” for the next eight years.

The “Professional Left” may want an even more progressive agenda and will grumble mightily about the lack of one, but their absolute hatred of the right pretty much insures that they will come back to the fold, no matter how much they are abused today. Perhaps Obama realizes this too. It would explain why he has repeatedly thrown some members of his base under the bus.

Rest In Peace: Senator Ted Stevens killed in Dillingham plane crash

After several hours of unconfirmed reports, it is now official that former Alaska Senator Ted Stevens was killed in the Dillingham plane crash.

KTUU: ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- Mitch Rose, spokesperson for the Stevens family, has confirmed that Sen. Ted Stevens was killed in a plane crash near Dillingham Monday night.

Nine people were on board, including former NASA Chief Sean O'Keefe. Five people were killed in the crash, but other identities were not known. […]

The Stevens family released a statement Tuesday afternoon: "The Ted Stevens family offers their prayers for all those on board and for their families. We thank the brave men and women who are are working to reach the site. We continue to work with the Alaska National Guard, the US Coast Guard and the Alaska State Troopers. We thank everyone for their support and prayers." 

Despite the cloud of corruption that ended Steven’s long years in the Senate, Alaskans will remember him as a “Bring Home The Bacon Champ". That role will make him an icon of a Washington D.C. that is rapidly becoming obsolete,.

Rest in peace.

Dems behaving badly, Part 623: Kansas City Dem attacks MOGOP videographer

 

Gateway Pundit: The Missouri Republican Party has released footage of a weekend assault against a MOGOP videographer perpetrated by one of Robin Carnahan’s staunch supporters… a Kansas City area Democrat leader.

The altercation took place on August 7 in a parking lot in front of the Clay County Democrat HQ while Carnahan was speaking inside. The leftist assailant gets in the face of the videographer and threatens to “knock the [explicative] out of you, boy.”

From the video: On August 7, a supporter of Robin Carnahan assaulted an MOGOP videograpger in the parking lot in front of a County Democrat HQ while Carnahan was speaking inside. The assailant has been identified as Bill Skaggs, the Kansas City mayor pro tem (1st district councilman) and former member of the State House of Representatives (1982-2002).

As reported by the Kansas City Star, Skaggs refused to apologize and falsely accused the videographer of being “belligerent.”

The Democrats sure are getting ugly these days.  This is only the tip of the iceberg; just wait until after they get routed in November. They will gin up the circular firing squad and have at each other.  Scenes like this will be repeated over and over again, but this time it will be Dem on Dem.

Greg Gutfeld’s Ground Zero Muslim Gay Bar

When it comes to tolerance, two can play at that game. 

From Hot Air: [Greg Gutfeld] I’m announcing tonight, that I am planning to build and open the first gay bar that caters not only to the west, but also Islamic gay men. To best express my sincere desire for dialogue, the bar will be situated next to the mosque Park51, in an available commercial space.

This is not a joke. I’ve already spoken to a number of investors, who have pledged their support in this bipartisan bid for understanding and tolerance.

As you know, the Muslim faith doesn’t look kindly upon homosexuality, which is why I’m building this bar. It is an effort to break down barriers and reduce deadly homophobia in the Islamic world.

The goal, however, is not simply to open a typical gay bar, but one friendly to men of Islamic faith. An entire floor, for example, will feature non-alcoholic drinks, since booze is forbidden by the faith. The bar will be open all day and night, to accommodate men who would rather keep their sexuality under wraps – but still want to dance.’ [MORE]

The Ground Zero Mosque is creating a real swinging neighborhood. Gutfeld is opening a gay bar and Sam from The Last Tradition wants to open a Rib Shack and Victoria Secret Center.   It will be interesting to see just how “tolerant” the Mosque and its supporter can be as Ground Zero becomes the new Village.

UPDATED: YAWN! Palin and the Alaskan Teacher

 

Politico: Palin was greeted in the town by Kathleen Gustafson, a self-identified teacher, who was holding a sign that read: “Worst Governor Ever.”

After seeing the sign, Palin walked over to speak to Gustafson. The video is spreading quickly Monday on several liberal blogs.

“You swore on your precious Bible that you would uphold the interests of this state, and then when cash was waved in front of your face, you quit,” Gustafson told Palin after the former governor walked over to ask, “What’s up?”

“Oh, you wanted me to be your governor,” Palin responded, sarcastically retorting, “I’m honored! Thank you!” 

The left is making big hay over this video. They are even suggesting Palin rolls her eyes when she hears the woman is a teacher.  Quite frankly, I don’t see what all the fuss is about. The woman wanted Palin to finish her term and is now feeling “jilted”.

If this is suppose to be a gotcha moment for Palin, then the left has lowered it standards considerably.  Check out this gotcha moment with Mitt Romney and tell me if Palin is anywhere near as sloppy with the confrontation.

Palin and the teacher actually reach common ground with their discussion about both their husbands being commercial fishermen. That is hardly anything like the dustup the left is making this video out to be.

Needless to say, Palin had a few choice words for the media about this video on her Facebook page. 

The LSM has now decided to use this brief encounter for another one of their spin operations. They claim I – wait for it – “appear to roll my eyes” when the lady tells me she’s a teacher. Yes, it’s come to this: the media is now trying to turn my eyebrow movements into story lines. (Maybe that’swhy Botox is all the rage – if you can’t move your eyebrows, your “eye rolling” can’t be misinterpreted!) If they had checked their facts first, they would have known that I come from a family of teachers; my grandparents were teachers, my father was a teacher, my brother is a teacher, my sister works in Special Needs classrooms, my aunt is a school nurse, my mom worked as a school secretary for much of her professional life, we all volunteer in classrooms, etc., etc., etc. Given that family history, how likely is it that I would “roll my eyes” at someone telling me that they too work in that honorable profession? Stay classy, LSM. 

All in all, the Palin Haters will have to wait for another gotcha moment with Palin, because this one ain’t it.

UPDATE: Liar YES, Teacher NO

What is it about Palin Haters that make them so damn over the top?  It turns out that the “teacher” (Kathleen Gustafson) Sarah Palin confronted really isn’t a teacher after all. She is a singer in a drag queen band. 

Gateway Pundit: The leftists were outraged that Sarah Palin had the nerve to confront this angry “teacher.” Teachers should be respected.

It’s just too bad she’s not a teacher.

Kathleen Gustafson is a singer in a drag queen band.

(HOMER TRIBUNE/Randi Somers) – Director Kathleen Gustafson (left) steps in to provide harmony as Hedwig (Atz Lee Kilcher) polishes up his performance at Pier One on Aug. 28.

Kathleen Guftafson is not a teacher. She’s a theater tech… And a liar.

You just can’t make this stuff up.

Gustafson must have said she was a teacher thinking that gave her some authority and sympathy. NOT! Teachers, just like everyone else on the planet come in two flavors, nice and nasty.  I think it is fair to say that Ms. Gustafson can go in the nasty column. 

So the great gotcha moment the left was hoping for has now turned out to be a complete flop. Ms. Gustafson turns out to be just another leftwing loon. Move along folks, nothing to see here.

Lindsey Graham uses the “Golden Rule” to vote for Kagan

CNSNews: “It is divine in its orientation, and it is probably something that would serve us all well if we thought about it at moments such as this,” Sen. Graham said on the Senate floor, as he pointed his colleagues to the Golden Rule and counseled them to look to the wisdom of “somebody far wiser than I am” as they cast their votes on Kagan.

“But at the end of the day, those of us in the Senate have to understand that every branch of government includes human beings and there is a rule that stood the test of time,” said Sen. Graham in an August 3 Senate floor speech. “I didn't make this one up. It was somebody far wiser than I am, somebody far more gifted than I ever hope to be, somebody I put a lot of trust in. 

“It is called the Golden Rule,” said Graham. “‘Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.’ That is probably one of the most powerful statements ever made. It is divine in its orientation, and it is probably something that would serve us all well if we thought about it at moments such as this. "

This is gall on a magnitude I have never seen before. Imagine, a conservative confirming a pro-abortion justice because he believes that liberals will someday return the favor. Was this idiot playing footsie under the men’s room stall during the Bork confirmation process?

The next time Graham wants to use the Lord’s teachings to decide upon judicial confirmations, he might want to try this one:

“Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s”  (Matthew 22:21)

In other words Mr. Graham, you can horse trade away certain ideological principles but when it comes to life, “someone far wiser” has already told you what to do.

I hope in 2014 when Mr. Graham is up for re-election the conservative voters of South Carolina will follow The Golden Rule and screw over Lindsey Graham just as he has repeatedly screwed over conservative.

Christina Romer to resign

Hotline On Call: Christina Romer, chairwoman of Pres. Obama's Council of Economic Advisers, has decided to resign, according to a source familiar with her plans.

Romer, an economics professor at the University of California (Berkeley) before taking the key admin post, did not respond to repeated calls to her office.

"She has been frustrated," a source with insight into the WH economics team said. "She doesn't feel that she has a direct line to the president. She would be giving different advice than Larry Summers [director of the National Economic Council], who does have a direct line to the president."

"She is ostensibly the chief economic adviser, but she doesn't seem to be playing that role," the source said. The WH has been pounded for its faulty forecast that unemployment would not top 8% after its economic stimulus proposal passed.

Instead, the jobless rate is 9.5%, after exceeding 10% last year. It was "a horribly inaccurate forecast," said Bert Ely, a banking consultant. "You have to wonder why Summers isn't the one that should be taking the fall. But Larry is a pretty good bureaucratic infighter." 

I cannot blame Christina Romer for being frustrated. Having to go out every month to spin crappy job reports like she was some Baghdad Bob in a skirt is a very frustrating thing to do. I for one, could not stand her smiley face as she lied her ass off about bad news.  I can just imagine how someone who has been unemployed for 99 week must feel every time Romer took to the airwaves.

I would not be surprised if Romer ends up writing one of the first Obama administration tell all books.
