oh cute. Gawker's called out my alma mater two days in a row. I'm thankful this last mention was a positive/funny story. Tho i have a feeling that the jordan kid just wore you down with all his 'tips.'
in other news, I wish outbreak was on right now. I can't go to sleep and no matter how many times i've seen it, I can't turn the channel. Seeing Dustin Hoffman and Morgan Freeman argue over quarantines is one of the most stilted, idiotic things I've witnessed.
@Pope John Peeps II: It's responsible for the mutant comedy stylings of David Steinberg, Monty Hall, Deanna Durbin, Sir William Stephenson, and Neil Young too.
Utter plug: If you like this , you'll Love the documentary about The Yes Men, 'The Yes Men Save the World' It's playing in NYC right now, going to Chicago and Boston its absolutely delightful!
The guy from the Chamber really stepped in a bag of flaming dog shit on this one. It's too funny to stop spreading.
The happy comedy accident of business cards as credibility is comical. So many funny moments-
Can I see your business card? I have my business cards outside/this man I can assure you does not have any business cards, and is not legitimate.
How embarrassing for you.
Anyone else want my business card? #theyesmen
They are exposing these fools for what they are--empty suits and straw men hiding behind the legitimacy of a government organization that no longer serves the people who pay for its existence. #theyesmen
I'm quite fond on the WTO Labor Management talk in Finland. If you would like to see the solution for labor management in an era of globalization jump tp 5:55. #theyesmen
This is the next level. I wholeheartedly support more of this.
They can do a Fox presser where they fire Beck and Rush for being crazy racists and turn over a new leaf as "truly fair and balanced" #theyesmen
@ande8502: I'm not a legal expert, though I imagine there is a case here. But it would be sort of ironic to sue for libel when it's the Chamber's embarrassing position that is pushing away their corporate members. Legal proceedings would only make it higher profile. The messier the situation for the chamber, the less inclined corporate boards will be to associate themselves with a group that is slowly being marginalized by the WH, anyhow. #theyesmen
from farce to reality, in less than thirty minutes:
RBC chief defends bank's oil sands work
Royal Bank of Canada's chief executive officer, Gordon Nixon, faced a tongue lashing by two environmental activists today as he answered questions at an industry conference in Toronto. ...
He defended his bank's "balanced approach" in taking such investment decisions, adding the industry would continue to finance energy, mining and forest product companies.
"Look, when it comes to financing oil and gas companies in Canada, all the Canadian banks and basically all large banks, globally, are active," Nixon said.
"I think it is important for any financial institution to ensure that they get the right balance in terms of their decision making, between what's in the economic interest and what's in the interest of society – whether it is environmental, whether it is health care or anything else.
damn that sounds expensive...
but what else comes to mind is the fact that giving the heads up to NYPD and UN may cause some asshole to declare that section of the river off-limits during the meeting... i expect some sort of shenanigan that way if only in the name of fighting terrorism :p
