Going postal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other uses, see Going postal (disambiguation).
Going postal, in American English slang, means becoming extremely and uncontrollably angry, often to the point of violence, and usually in a workplace environment.
The expression derives from a series of incidents from 1983 onward in which United States Postal Service (USPS) workers shot and killed managers, fellow workers, and members of the police or general public in acts of mass murder. Between 1986 and 1997, more than forty people were gunned down by spree killers in at least twenty incidents of workplace rage.
[edit] Origin
The earliest citation is December 17, 1993 in the St. Petersburg Times:| “ | The symposium was sponsored by the U.S. Postal Service, which has seen so many outbursts that in some circles excessive stress is known as 'going postal.' Thirty-five people have been killed in 11 post office shootings since 1983. The USPS does not approve of the term "going postal" and have made attempts to stop people from using the saying. Some postal workers, however, feel it has earned its place appropriately.[1] | ” |
| “ | Unlike the more deadly mass shootings around the nation, which have lent a new term to the language, referring to shooting up the office as "going postal,"[2] |

Sheriffs and deputy sheriffs enforce the law on the county level. Sheriffs usually are elected to their posts and perform duties similar to those of a local or county police chief. Sheriffs' departments tend to be relatively small, most having fewer than 50 sworn officers. Deputy sheriffs have law enforcement duties similar to those of officers in urban police departments. Police and sheriffs' deputies who provide security in city and county courts are sometimes called bailiffs.

I studied these undercovers during my whole relationship with Virginia and noticed their 'weird ways'... they never seemed to question their own thoughts that people were bad. hmmmmmm and they were ruled by the elites and the government. btw, my follower yesterday was about 6'3", bald, black and very handsomely dressed.

Cable companies to offer $9.95 broadband for poor homes
Posted: 11/09/2011 10:42:34 AM PST
Updated: 11/09/2011 11:01:22 AM PST
NEW YORK -- Cable companies said Wednesday that they will offer Internet service for $9.95 per month to homes with children that are eligible for free school lunches.
The offer will start next summer and is part of an initiative the Federal Communications Commission cobbled together to get more U.S. homes connected to broadband. One third, or about 35 million homes, don't have broadband. That affects people's ability to educate themselves and find and apply for jobs, FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski said.
"The broadband adoption gap in the U.S. is very large, and the costs of digital exclusion are high and getting higher," Genachowski said.
The initiative, called Connect-to-Compete, also includes Microsoft, which pledges to sell PCs with its Office software suite for $250 to low-income families. A firm called Redemtech is offering to sell refurbished computers for $150, including shipping.
For those who can't afford those prices, Morgan Stanley is pledging to develop a microfinance lending program for community-based financial institutions.
People are still signing up for broadband, but growth has slowed in recent years. For those who still haven't signed up, cost is a minor factor. Most say they're simply not interested or don't need it, according to a report by the Commerce Department based on Census Bureau data from last year.
To help address the lack of interest and computer skills, Best Buy, Microsoft and
All major cable companies are standing behind the $9.95 offer, which will be valid for two years. The price doesn't include taxes, but the companies are pledging to charge nothing for installation or modem rental.
The minimum download speed will be 1 megabit per second, less than one tenth of average cable speeds. Brian Dietz, a spokesman for the National Cable & Telecommunications Association, said it will be up to the individual cable companies to decide what speeds they provide.
The NCTA estimates that about 5.5 million homes that don't have broadband will be eligible for the offer. According to the Commerce Department study, 78 percent of households with school-age children already have broadband, making them far more likely to be connected than the average household.
The big broadband gap is between younger and older households: Only 45 percent of people older than 64 have broadband. Black and Hispanic households were less likely to have broadband, even when adjusting for income, according to the study.
Comcast Corp., the largest cable company and the country's largest Internet service provider, is already offering broadband to $9.95 to low-income families, with a 1.5 megabit per second download speed. It offered to do that to get regulators to approve its acquisition of NBC Universal approved.

Here's an older POLITICO story.... Labor slams Marriott over porn elimination
http://www.dickipedia.org/dick.php?title=Mitt_RomneyThe AFL-CIO's Eddie Vale attacked the Marriott hotel chain over allegations that the hotel giant [Marriott] may have eliminated its profitable pornography options to help Mitt Romney's presidential chances.
Excerpt:
Mitt Romney’s impressive political acumen was instilled in him from his birth on March 12, 1947, to a failed presidential candidate (George) and a failed Senate candidate (Lenore). Born Williard Mitt Romney, he was named after his father’s best friend, hotel magnate J. Willard Marriott, founder of a chain of hotels that, like Romney himself, are nice-looking but generally bland and indistinctive.

Cain reasoned that the ranking was misleading because Godfather's average per unit volume of $429,000 almost matched the $466,000 per unit volume of Domino's Pizza, and in their strongest regions Godfather's outperformed the competition in unit volumes.

Excerpt:
I'm not saying Romney can't win. I don't discount the resources he has at his disposal for a moment. Yet while he might have a good product strategy, the product itself hasn't left a good taste in the mouths of Republican primary voters. Whatever Herman Cain's shortcomings, what he has to offer is looking more and more palatable. It could very well be that Republican voters are more comfortable with what they see on slice of Cain pizza than what's hidden in a Romney wrap.

Romney Campaign Memo: The Koch Brothers Are The ‘Financial Engine Of The Tea Party’
Mitt Romney speaking at a Koch summit in previous years; David Koch speaking at his own gala
Meanwhile, the Washington Examiner, which happens to be owned by an allied billionaire named Phil Anschutz, obtained a Romney campaign memo that details its outreach effort to the Koch brothers and the Tea Party. The memo acknowledges what ThinkProgress has reported for two years now — that the Kochs are the “financial engine of the Tea Party,” as the memo put it. Moreover, the memo expands on Romney’s courtship of the billionaire petrochemical brothers, including a meeting in January at an elite social club in Manhattan and an August meeting that had to be canceled because of Hurricane Irene:
