Thank you Mr. President! 24 Dec = day off

[darin]

President Bush on Thursday ordered executive branch agencies to close on Monday, Dec. 24, giving most federal employees a four-day Christmas weekend.

Agency heads still have the authority to order some essential employees to their posts on the day (before) Christmas, according to Bush's executive order.

Historically, presidents have granted an extra day or half-day of vacation when Christmas falls on a Tuesday or Thursday. Last year, when Christmas fell on a Monday, no extra time off was awarded.

No. With everyone. You refuse facts, reason, or bi-partisanship. You scold and stand on false-moral-ground time and again, and try to play it off as you being 'secure' in your opinions, when exactly the opposite is true.

It's not funny. Your reply in this thread was retarded. It was juvenile at best.

i'd call it a fact, not retarded at all....

and i did say it, because i knew, based on other coversations we have had on similar subjects, that it would either make you mad, or you'd see the humor in it.

lighten up!!!

No - it's a retarded reply. It's not a fact. It's an opinion. What you COULD have written: "Yay! What a great way to thank our Men and Women in Civil Service!"

Nope! Instead you chose to reply with some bullshit about our "deficit". Your implication is this: "If Fed employees WORKED on 24 December, our nation would somehow have a better (smaller) deficit". Now, you didn't specify which deficit bothers you - but the word sure makes you feel like you have a flying frack's worth of a clue about our Country.

Your reply is a CLEAR indication of a "Huge Deficit" on this very board. A deficit in Liberals who are reasonable and rational.

Do you say the same thing about welfare?

Its actually probably going to save money and alot of unnecessary consumption of energy and fuel for day.

[Hagbard Celine]

Do you say the same thing about welfare?

Yeah, that would be ethical. Put thousands of people out on the street in the middle of winter. That's a pretty typical tidbit of shortsightedness from the conservative mind.

Very pathetic - you are transparent. When confronted with your own personal bullshit, you dodge, dip, dive, duck, and...dodge.
