OMAHA STEVE FAILS AGAIN!

[USA4ME]

The only time he needs to "go it alone" is when it's just a table of him and some mini-tacos.

.

[franksolich]

Yeah, who knows.  With his friend's help, he could have managed to finish second-to-last place, like he did earlier this year!

I'm still kind of upset at the big guy, keeping it a secret from the primitives.

If he'd announced his candidacy to the primitives, I'm sure the cash would've flowed in to his coffers, enabling him to pay back what he still owes for bills incurred while running for the Bellevue City Council last spring.

Talk about a missed financial opportunity.

[GOBUCKS]

The big guy was campaigning at a big disadvantage. He's over at the police station now, bringing coffee and doughnuts to the desk cops, scraping bug guts off cruiser windshields, just beating in time and working on his disability appeal. That probably lost him some votes among his former colleagues back at the sewage factory.

Gotta wonder if the cops at his new place of work know how the the DUmmies, people OS associates with feel about cops.  Has OS ever joined in any cop bashing on Skin's Island?

He's posted threads about freeing that mummy guy in Philadelphia, who killed cops.

I'm sure however his boss there knows about it, and has the big guy under close scrutiny.

Freedom of speech is a wonderful thing to have; I couldn't do without it.

However, as we understand--while apparently the primitives don't--free speech has consequences, too.

[GOP Congress]

Yeah, I thought it was humor when you said that Steve finished third out of three. I would imagine he'd do much worse.

Let's not forget the cleaning up puke from the police cars after they arrest his fellow DUmmies for OUIL.

I don;t think so - check out his posting at the DU.   Two pages of cut and paste articles per day.  He is sitting at a computer surfing the internet all damn day on the taxpayer dime.   

I fully expect to be reading how he hurt himself again though any day now.

[JohnnyReb]

Well, he is consistant......consistently in last place....a constant loser.

[franksolich]

Well, he is consistent......consistently in last place....a constant loser.

Yes, and the big guy's never understood that he could be a winner.

Humility, modesty, and diligence inevitably exalts one, while know-it-all-ism, laziness, and sloth brings one down.

Yeah, I do know that's too deep for a primitive to understand.

[franksolich]

I'm still looking for the official results, but coming up dry.

It's obviously not news-worthy, the election of a new vice-president for Omaha Local 251.

I did however find this, from the big guy's first run for the free ride, back in September 2009.

Please review my application/bio for my local unions election for VP spot
 
Be honest and don't pull punches. This is for the mailer to each member at my expense. There are 3 very good candidates.

Here it is: Dear Local 251 Members:

I am honored to announce my candidacy for Local 251 Vice President, and I am asking for your vote. As a long-time union member, and as a lifetime advocate for union and worker rights, my qualifications for the position are unique and will benefit Local 251 and its members in a number of ways. My wife of 34 years, Marta, was a member of CWA Local 7400 for the 18 years she worked at the local phone company. She walked the picket line in the 1983 CWA strike which lasted three weeks.

I first worked for the City of Omaha in 1983 as seasonal clerk messenger with Public Works. From that time until 1992 I worked in various locations within the Parks Department. In 1992 I accepted a full-time position with an outside company. My full-time position with the City of Omaha began in December, 1997, as a Park Caretaker at Brown Park. I continued in that job until moving to the Missouri River Treatment Plant in 2006, where my current position is Waste Water Treatment Operator.

During my full-time with the City, I have been a member of Local 251. I have served as steward since 2003, and was elected to one term as Trustee. I currently serve on the Appeals board of the union. I was elected to the Executive Board of Local 251, and have served as delegate to the Omaha Federation of Labor for over two years. I twice served as delegate to the State AFL-CIO convention representing Local 251. I help organize and regularly attend rallies for union activities and benefits, including the latest for health care reform. I was asked to initiate the monthly newsletter in November 2008. The first issue was in member’s hands in January and I research and provide 80% of the content for the newsletter.

I have served as an advocate for unions and worker rights for thirty years, and have been involved in union affairs and gatherings during those years. My organizing history includes a nearly successful attempt to organize a print shop for the Graphic Arts Union in 1980, for which I was fired by the company just as I obtained the necessary number of signed union cards. I took this illegal dismissal to the National Labor Relations Board (Case No. 17-CA-9763) and won the case, though it took four years. I was once fired by the City and looked to Local 251 for help, which was given and was successful, so I understand your concerns.

Please cast your vote for Steve Dawes for Vice President at the union meeting on September 22, 2009. I feel that Local 251 is poised to become an integral part of local union activities, but only if we educate our members on how union processes work, and how the members can influence city politics by attending meetings regularly. We must get union membership up, and get members more involved in local events and national AFSCME gatherings. As your Vice President, I pledge to work to strengthen Local 251. For City of Omaha members, that means becoming the bargaining equal of the Police and Fire unions. I have been active in publicly speaking about Local 251 and its members, no matter the forum, and will continue to work tirelessly for your rights and benefits.

OS

tl;dr

[Airwolf]

No, we didn't expect it to be any different.

Besides not gettng along with his bosses, the big guy apparently doesn't work all that well with his peers.

He's about as popular as Leon Trotsky would be with the Women's Christian Temperance Union.

Like most Husker football opponents at the start of the season He is now 0 and 4 and the rest of the season isn't looking so hot for OS.

Do you suppose the big guy's ever going to give up?

You know, this absurd chasing-the-rainbow for a free ride somewhere.

After all, he doesn't have that much longer to go, before those monthly checks'll flow to him automatically, and he can sit back and live the life of Reilly.  All he has to do is hang in a few more years.

No.  He might get his 'free ride,' qualifying for it after he can retire.

[GOBUCKS]

The big guy needs two things: his resume rewritten by DUmmy rsmithnumbers, and a shave.

[Duke Nukum]

I, for one, would like to thank Socialist Steve. He embodies every single one of Marxism's infinite list of failures and is the living poster of why not to do, what beliefs not to choose to believe.

No I don't think he ever will. He has been at it for so ling and refuses to stop.  Probably going to keep going till his dying day or untill he hits the motherload.

[franksolich]

No I don't think he ever will. He has been at it for so ling and refuses to stop.  Probably going to keep going till his dying day or untill he hits the motherlode.

But the big guy's going to hit the motherlode whether he wants to or not, in less than nine years, when he gets to retire double-dipping from both social security retirement and the generous pension the taxpayers of Omaha are going to pay him.

Nine years isn't that long to wait for the free ride to come chugging into the station, stopping to pick him up.

For his own well-being and the sake of his health, the big guy should just sit back, relax, get mellow, and wait; one after all doesn't burn up calories chasing after rainbows.  All he needs to do is humbly and diligently apply himself to his work, being respectful and obedient to his bosses, getting along with his co-workers, and nine years will evaporate faster than the snows in March.

There's lots and lots of people who've done a lot more, and gotten a lot less, at the end of the trail.

[GOBUCKS]

The chances of the big guy living another nine years are very, very slim.

For the taxpayers of Omaha, and society in general, that's a good thing.

[franksolich]

The chances of the big guy living another nine years are very, very slim.

That is always on the back of my mind, and a concern because I'm rather fond of the big guy.

However, we all make our own destinies.

I wonder how many 4x4 posts he has in the basement of his house, supporting the first floor above.

Damn.

We both know that Frank but OS isn't;t going to be satisfied with just a pension and retirement. He wants to be as rich as Warren Buffet and not have to deal with anything that would stop him from getting richer then he could ever deserve. Call it greed or something else OS wants it all and will do anything to get it. He seems to think he has answers to problems that don't exist and runs for office only to fail. This while trying to scam for disability and his piss poor attempts at attention makes me think he won't stop at getting more and more of what ever it is he wants.
