I live in the United States of America, the "land of the free and the home of the brave," yet I am watching my country slip out of the hands of its citizens and into the hands of the few.
We have allowed our government to take over and we've done nothing about it. We fail ourselves by continuing to elect the same people who got us into this mess. We immediately blame the president for our debacle but we fail to realize that it was Congress who allowed our situation to get so bad.
How many times has Ted Kennedy been elected to office? How many times has he failed us?! I only use him as an example because he has been in Congress for much too long and demonstrated on more than one occasion that he is unfit to represent the people of these United States.
I don't understand why we, the general public, continually fail to realize that we really do have the final say. Power is only granted through consent. Have we become so apathetic that we have consented our rights away?
Those in power are only there because WE ALLOW THEM TO BE!
I passionately urge the American populous to remind our elected officials that they are nothing without us. To parallel a common parental colloquialism, "We elected you into power. We can elect you out."
It's time to start replacing the representatives that do not represent. We CAN make a difference. Yes, we can! We CAN send a message. Yes, we can! We CAN say NO to Obama's so-called healthcare bill. Yes, we can! We CAN stop the constant rape of the Constitution. Yes, we can! We CAN replace the all-too-comfortable long-time incumbents who turned their backs on us through our power of the vote. Yes, we can!
We can take back America from the socialist regime. Yes, we can!

Double Bullshit!
I could not log into my Blogspot account because I thought that I had forgotten my password.
Then, after trying to reset and failing, I clicked on the link and was granted immediate passage.
That's bullshit number one.
Number two is even worse.
The second bullshit is that I can't seem to make some simple decisions. I taste a lot of wine to potentially add to the RCL wine list. I try to remain objective but the wines from D&E appear much more favorable than those from the "competitor."
I have learned how to read people and I maintain a skeptic mindset which has triggered subtle, yet noticeable, reactions to the verbiage used by the wine reps from the competitor.
That being said, my next post will be a notice to my "competitor" rep...

When a POS is a POS
Some notes I left in the manager's log as well as some Blogspot-only exclusive material. Names have been changed to maintain anonymity:
Just when we thought that V1 couldn’t possibly get any worse, a brand new @$#!*&%$ -up comes along. When "THE BOY" added the Chef’s Table Exclusivity fee to the check, well, you all will just have to look at the tickets I left in my box. They pretty much defy explanation. It has to be quantum physics at work.
Speaking of V1 costing us money, Ms. "ANONYMOUS" (woman who thought “we” were racist for saying ‘y’all’ many years ago) called us out on our Club discount procedure. "SHE" spent nearly an hour explaining the workaround that we have had to use to properly apply Club discounts. Ms. "ANONYMOUS" eventually got it, but mentioned that she would send "GM" an e-mail about it. I beat her to it. At this point, her complaint could only serve to strengthen our case that V1 has failed us miserably. Just because we understand it does not mean that the rest of the world does or will be so patient as to sit through an explanation (read: excuse.)
Maybe I’m out of line for saying this, but , logically speaking, if "FA" thinks our way of doing business is responsible for our POS problems, then maybe we should change the way we do business?! Regardless, these errors are unforgivable and I’m confident that we have nothing to do with them. You all remember Richard Pryor in Superman III? Brilliant!
Poster's note: V1 is the name of the POS system we use at my place of business. Apparently, any math outside of the 3rd grade level is much too advanced. This is only a conclusion that I have drawn based on hard-copy evidence and repeated offenses. There does exists a contingency of people who defend the program with the argument of "I know you are but what am I?" but I'm pretty sure that my physical evidence will overpower the stance of the defense...
