Something to Yak About – Kerry Campaign Pads Candidate’s Intelligence Resume This is amazing for a couple of reasons, neither of which is made up. The John Kerry campaign, in an effort to burnish the nominee’s image on intelligence matters and spin their way out of his lousy committee attendance record, claimed on its website Monday, “John Kerry served on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence for 8 years and is the former Vice Chairman of the Committee.” Fact is John Kerry has never – ever! – served as vice chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. Turns out,...

A lengthy anti-Bush attack email is apparently making the rounds, titled "Bush's Resume." It contains a string of lies, innuendo and half-truths so numerous as to be difficult to answer, due mainly to the sheer number of them (standard Liberal "Blitzkreig" technique). I've received this garbage in my various inboxes several times in the last month, and thought I'd devote some time to an answer. Some of these attacks have been answered by me before, and some answers have been suggested by friends.

US pushes for Iraqis to resume control By Alec Russell in Washington (Filed: 27/09/2003) Washington is to set a six-month deadline for Iraq's American-backed authority to write a new constitution in an apparent concession to international calls for a timetable for a handover of power to Iraqis. After a week of wrangling at the United Nations over the future of Iraq, the United States secretary of state, Colin Powell, said it would be hard to keep to the deadline, but that it was essential to hasten the drafting, as a constitution would pave the way for elections, a new leadership...

BA flights resume to Saudi Arabia By Paul Marston, Transport Correspondent (Filed: 06/09/2003) British Airways will resume flights to Saudi Arabia today after expressing satisfaction with fresh counter-terrorist measures implemented by the Saudi authorities. Security at Riyadh and Jeddah airports has been strengthened extensively since the threat of a missile attack on a BA aircraft prompted the sudden suspension of services three weeks ago. The Saudi armed forces are much more in evidence at the airports, with intensive patrols of the terminal buildings, airfield and perimeter. The changes followed a full review of security in which BA managers and UK...

"The Journey Continues--Week 2" Posted by Doc Farmer Wednesday, August 20, 2003 As most of you know, I lost my job in Doha, Qatar. It’s been two weeks now, and I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the many of you who sent me e-mail messages of encouragement. They were greatly appreciated. What’s it like, being unemployed? Most of us have experienced it at least once in our careers, but it’s rare that we really examine it or talk about it. But there are things that I need to really get off my chest. Partly, this is a simple...

Rumsfeld to resume US air missions in Colombian drug trade crackdown By Andrew Gumbel 20 August 2003 The United States is resuming drug-interception flights over Colombia after a two-year hiatus, possibly signalling a desire by the Bush administration to become more heavily involved in the Colombian government's military crackdown on drug dealers and left-wing guerrilla rebels. The resumption of the flights, jointly operated by the US and Colombia and known by their military codename Airbridge Denial, was announced by Donald Rumsfeld, the US Defence Secretary, who was in Bogota on a trip widely seen as an indication of greater US...

"A Fearful Journey Begins" Posted by Doc Farmer Wednesday, August 06, 2003 Just before I sat down to write this article, I was fired from my job. No, I’m not joking. My hands are shaking as I write these words, so you’ll excuse the occasional spelling mistake, but it’s a frightening thing to be fired. As many Americans already know. You’ve got a house, a mortgage, kids in school, etc., and out of the blue you’re gone. Add being eight time zones away from home, and it gets to the point of becoming a terrifying experience. I now have less...

People often tell Julie Miller: "E-mail's ruined me." As a business-writing coach, Miller spends her time teaching professionals — architects, bankers, engineers, you name it — to write better, faster. And it appears that, increasingly, companies of all kinds are realizing the importance of the written word. "Writing skills are a career-maker or breaker," Miller said. "There's no place to hide now, with everyone having access to a computer, because your writing is on display." Good writing skills are especially important if you are looking for a job. In a tough economy, employers often are deluged with résumés and cover...

July 23, 2003, 2:28PM Robber nabbed after writing holdup note on resume Associated Press FORT WORTH -- A bank robber wrote a holdup note on the back of his resume -- the ultimate bad career move. Police used the job-search information to identify the man, who was arrested and charged with robbing a Wells Fargo bank branch on Fort Worth's east side. The man had tried to hide the personal information by taping black construction paper over it. But then he forgot to retrieve the note and take it with him after giving it to the teller. Police then just...

I received a forwarded "resume" of President Bush by a leftist "friend" of mine. It was written by a Kelley Kramer, and I guess this is making the rounds. It's so distorted, it's amusing, but, I suppose, plausible to the gullible. Who is this Kelley Kramer and what are his affiliations?

(Forgive me if this is posted in the wrong area. I'm new at this.) Some of you may have seen an article known as the "George W. Bush Resume" that's been making its way around cyberspace for the past few months. "The resume" claims to list the "qualifications", "work experiences", and "accomplishments" of our current President. It is a venomous, sarcastic stab at George W. Bush. I have created a rebuttal to "the resume". You can find it at: http://www.crossbearer.com/resume/The_Truth.pdf For those of you who haven't seen "the resume", this rebuttal will also help you counter the arguments of Democrats...

If you've ever watched those TV blooper shows, you know how funny slip-ups, gaffes and blunders can be. But while laughter may be good for the soul, it's certainly not the response you want your resume to produce. Baby Boomers (or Gen-X and Gen-Y fans of Nick at Nite) will recall the often hilarious pronouncements of Archie Bunker, the patriarch of the popular 1970s sitcom "All in the Family." With just a slight slip of the tongue, Archie's intended meanings frequently became completely convoluted (e.g., "consecration" instead of "concentration" and "mental pause" instead of "menopause"). If your resume contains any...

<p>SACRAMENTO, Calif.(AP) - La Jolla poet Quincy Troupe resigned his post as California's first official poet laureate Friday after four months, announcing he had falsified information on his resume for the post.</p> <p>Troupe, appointed June 11 by Gov. Gray Davis, stated in his resignation letter: "I deeply regret my ill-advised decision to include inaccurate information on my curriculum vitae. While I attended Grumbling College, I never earned a college degree."</p>

Please help me find a the resume for Condalizza Rice.Let me explain why. One of my college instructors (an art instructor) got a tad carried away during a lecture, fell off topic and wound up talking about politics. She managed to get on the topic of Iraq and how bad America is for wanting to attack and defeat Sadam. This made me angry but what really sent me over the edge was when she called Ms. Rice, Bush's "lackey". I was very angry, got up and walked out of class, informing my instructor on the way out that I would...

Fighter Patrols Resume over NY, Washington -Sources Fri Sep 6,11:34 PM ET By Charles Aldinger WASHINGTON (Reuters) - With the anniversary approaching of the Sept. 11 attacks on America, the U.S. military has resumed 24-hour air patrols by fighter jets over Washington and New York, U.S. officials said on Friday. The officials, who asked not to be identified, told Reuters that the patrols -- designed to prevent hijack attacks like the ones that destroyed New York's World Trade Center and heavily damaged the Pentagon -- resumed on Thursday. "With members of Congress flying to New York, and the anniversary approaching,...
