They're not having any luck over there, huh?!

Like anybody, these news folks should be able to donate to whomever they wish and up to the legal amount. Where I had a problem with Olberman was that it almost appeared that he used his campaign donations as a "payoff" to get them to appear on his show. If Joe had any of those on his show, then I would believe in some sort of disciplinary action.

Most companies have ethics clauses in their contracts and they can twist it into almost anything if they were inclined to.  Didn't answer your emails?  Forgot to clean the coffee maker in the break room?  Scratched a car in the employee parking lot?  You're fired.

You forgot one fireable offense:

Used all the toilet paper in the stall and didn't replace it? You're fired.

Hey, maybe you not being a woman and all (apologize to high Heaven if I'm mistaken) BUT when a woman sits down at the toilet and, umm, does her thing, the last damn thing she wants to find out is the ****ing toilet paper roll is empty.  And yeah, one should check first, but sometimes the exigency of the situation precludes this.
It's bad enough that in my household not a single solitary other adult seems to know how to load a roll of toilet paper when the previous roll runs empty.

Can't you just "shake your booty"?

Nope, I am not a gal. And I can relate.

Mrs E, I swear to God, she'll get down to the last SQUARE of TP and not change it out. It got to the point that I thought there was some kind of freakin' conspiracy.    We actually had a discussion about it. She swore she was innocent of all charges. 

In a pig's ass.

Did enough of THAT out on field exercises a few decades ago.  I'm a middle aged woman who insists on basic comfort these days.
