Dealing With a Freeper Boss |
|
My boss was in my office today telling me about a trip he took to Atlanta this past weekend. He had visited a site of a Civil War battle and was talking about war re-enactments. Speaking of a WW2 re-enactment that was in Pennsylvania recently, he said, "You know, the easiest battles to re-enact are the battles the French fought. Just throw down your guns and run away."
He obviously could tell I was a little irritated, because he stopped laughing at the "funny" he made long enough to look somewhat concerned and say, "You're not part French, are you?" I'm not, but maybe I should have said I was.
Then, he starts going off about the war in Iraq and how he doesn't see what the big deal was and now "everyone's just accusing everyone else of lying." Then he goes into a rant about how "it was okay when Clinton lied" but now "all of a sudden, lying is some kind of impeachable offense or something."
And THEN he says, "I guess that's the problem with a democracy when you've got two or more parties trying to knock the other out of power. A dictatorship would be a lot better, I mean, you wouldn't have all the checks and balances, but sometimes I think we have too many checks and balances."
Now, I don't want to lose my job in a Bush economy, so I didn't, like, slap him or anything. But AAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!

1. No, nobody ever said it was "ok" Clinton lied |
|
Neo-cons have such a mental disconnect, I wonder how they can get through the day.

2. Gee, teacher, how did fascism spread so easily in Germany |
|
Why did Hitler, who was such a bad and evil man, become so popular and remain popular despite his atrocities?
I used to wonder that, but I sure as hell don't anymore!!!!

What kind of idiot would like to live under a dictatorship? Just ignore him, he's either just talking out of his ass, or he's baiting you to get a reaction.

4. I Don't Think He's Baiting Me |
|
I think he maybe left Fox News on a little too long, and it fried his brain. Maybe he was just agreeing with Bush, who thinks that a dictatorship would be cool as long as Bush gets to play dictator.

First: Find another job. Second: Tell the a-hole to shove it.

6. You lost a great chance |

You should have instantly put on your freeper costume and become your boss's best buddy. You'd be in a position to do a LOT of mischief! :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

8. Indeed. "Gee, boss, I saw the Light, etc, etc." |
|
"I read this AWESOME book by Ann Coulter and it OPENED MY EYES!!!"
Then the fun begins. Tape recorders are your friends. USB memory sticks too. Be creative.

10. Yeah, I Didn't Really Say Anything |
|
This time. I think he saw that the French comment irritated me, and I didn't say a whole lot when he was going off on his Iraq tirade. I tried to think of a diplomatic way to get into the whole Iraq thing but I figure he's pretty much a lost cause anyway, so...
But maybe a couple "Hitlery" comments will get me a raise. If I throw in an "Al Gore claimed to have invented the Love Canal in the book 'A Love Story'", I'll probably be Executive Vice President by the end of the year.

9. Me and a co-worker.... |
|
We both agree that the most infuriating thing about working for/with moranic assholes like this is not that they're morans, but that they get paid almost twice what we do....
Just can't bring myself to start watching FAUX and acting like a Dildo-Head in order to advance my career.....
(I know it's spelled "moron", but that mullethead w/the sign we see here doesn't)
