UPDATE: I’m redesigning it again…
Hi. This is a temporary post to introduce you to the new design of CandidTam.com. I have so much stuff to put up here that it’s been overwhelming.
Evidence of procrastination continued.
I can’t seem to get a straight answer for any of these questions related to Occupy:
How can I trust a group who chooses GA over a democratic voting process?
How can I trust a group who says they’re for everyone but judges, character assassinates, and demonizes viable critquers?
How can I trust a group to national change and opinion when they can’t even respect the immediate community?
How can I trust a group who says they’re for everyone but slanders rape victims who say they were raped in Occupy camps?
How can I trust a group who says they’re for everyone but plants their camps on middle class and lower middle class neighborhoods holding illegal Lollapalooza style concerts? How is that supposed to “stick it to the man?” You’re sticking it to the working class, actually.
How can I trust a group who says they’re for everyone but encourages and supports drug use and harbors drug dealers and addicts? My neighborhood’s drug crime rate has dramatically gone up in the last month Occupy moved in across the street.
What are you really doing to change the system? How is free rent at the tax-payer’s expense going to change corporate greed? At this point how are you not doing exactly what the corporations are doing?
How can I trust a group who says they’re for everyone but abuses the law and twists the meaning of the bill of rights to only benefit one group over another?
How can I trust a group who says they’re for everyone but easily and ungratefully forgets how the cities have bent over backwards for you?
Our little community was fine with receiving you but you’re abusing the generosity.
How can I trust a group who says they’re for everyone but threatens violent reaction if the cities try to regain the public land you’re taxing and the neighborhoods you’re abusing?
How are you actually for the people? Honestly.
Today a friend of mine put two links up on their Facebook page along with a quick post indicating some sort of outrage – and here’s exactly why …
And you can follow the links, for the time being, as of this post to see for yourself:

My Thoughts:
I love how in the Reuters planted NATO story, NATO gets to say “Oh yea, they were violent first.”
Reading that I still thought – “Uh yea right NATO – who are you trying to convince? I am so sure the protestors threw the first stone. “”Poor defenseless NATO”" … NATO peacekeepers MY ASS.”
And what do you know?
I click on the second link and my suspicions … confirmed.
Not that I can read cyrillic languages but the photo cropping lie tells the whole story. Does it not?
Clearly yellow journalism is afoot … OR is this Reuters’s quiet cry for help? As in “Help the world ruling class is twisting our arm to lie to you – please take notice by putting the pieces together.”
Not entirely sure. I’m leaning more towards the former but I do take into consideration that this centuries cold war is in misinformation. Anyway – I’m also sending this on over to Reuters and my own representative and demanding no more yellow journalism. No more capitalizing on information. Etc …
I suggest you do the same – and if not, at least share the fuck out of this posting. Mmk?
We’ve got to work together and let these asshats know we’re not going to be coddled and lied too.
For your quick emailing reference I put together a short Reuters Company Directory together – since they like to hide their contact info and make it hard for the public to obtain. Have fun kids!

On external directories he is listed as the Vice President. On Reuters’ own site he is listed as: “Senior director of Enterprise Sales for the Tax & Accounting business of Thomson Reuters and oversees Sales and Business Development for the Enterprise market.” Whatever the fuck that means. Just email this suit.

Or if you’re not in the U.S., then write your Political Ministry etc … (there really should be a centralized site for that too … I have a lot of info on international ministries – maybe I’ll get around to writing up a post on it.)
Waaaaaah! You don’t like the service you got at nasty ass Dennys from the girl who makes poverty of a living.
This rant is in response to a fucking hideous post and comments I saw at that affiliate sales driven, “advice website,” wisegeek.com
If you were making POVERTY for a living – and knew no one in your entire country gave a shit about your survival, even though you’re getting your ass kicked paying taxes and working for a living, would you give stellar service too?
Believe it or not, some people still do… AND Oh My Fucking God, YES – some people do not! FYI, retards who think tipping should be debatable, it’s just like ANY OTHER INDUSTRY.
Let’s broaden this spectrum for the simple minded…
Regardless if it’s food, construction, an office job or fucking investors over – there are dicks in every industry and every job across the world. It’s been this way forever – and no amount of stiffing your fellow human-being will change it. And think about it FFS – whose to say that the employee is the problem? Seriously, how many bosses have made doing your job suck? How many managers have made their employees look bad? How many cheap ass business owners make employee’s lives shit? How delusional do you have to be to judge and punish one person because you can’t handle minor daily disappointments? And if you do judge – honest to God, who the fuck do you think you are?
Tipping a waiter is not a “nice thing you’re doing for them.” Tipping a waiter is YOU actually PAYING the living wage that American restaurants are too cheap to pay out.
Tipping a waiter would be a “nice thing to do” IF the restaurant was actually paying your server enough money to pay their rent, let alone buy groceries, health insurance, car payments, student loans, cell phone bills, credit card bills … ect … but they’re not. So no, your tip is not a “reward” for good service. Your tip is sustenance for a working human being.
Also it’s none of your business why a person chooses to wait tables – so don’t get all up on your high horse and start preaching about what people choose to do for a living, lest you are Stalin, a Republican Tea Bagger, Fred Phelps, or Satan himself. (And no one in their right mind listens to those assholes.)
ANYWAY – tipping a waiter is a non-negotiable debate till you get off your ass and tell your politicians to stop shoving special interest money up their gaping assholes while allowing “some” industries to pay human beings a inhumane wages.
Till that day happens …
1. HOW DARE ANYONE DEBATE A PERSON’S RIGHT TO A LIVING WAGE.
2. HOW DARE ANYONE PLAY WITH A HUMAN’S ABILITY TO SURVIVE BASED ON YOUR OWN SHALLOW, SELF-ENTITLED DEMENTIA.
If I met anyone who didn’t leave a tip I’d smack the shit out of them and then I’d go to their job and proceed shred 20 – 95% of their paycheck into non-existence -Because I’m pretty sure 100% of the evil, self-entitled, undiagnosed schizos who do condone treating another human like an insect – aren’t fabulous at their desk, construction, political, or sex jobs either.
I’m pretty sure you would STFU about how to treat a waiter if your own boss docked 20 – 95% of your pay based on their own perception (be it correct or seriously incorrect) of your performance …
ANYONE WHO THINKS TIPPING IS A DEBATABLE TOPIC, (including Denis Grosz and wisegeek.com,) has their head so far up their asses that it’s amazing they can even breath.
And that’s it for my rant. Fuck off.
Reposting from a commentator on the Yahoo news forum in relation to today’s black shroud that’s descended on Wisconsin … soon to taint the country:
Union Busting
by: The Patriot
It seems that bashing unions at the expense of union workers has become popular and the sport of politicians everywhere, all under the guise of ’saving taxpayer dollars.’ Yet if it’s truly about saving tax dollars and not merely strong arming union members and taking away their right to collective bargaining, then why hasn’t one politician at the federal, state, county or city level brought up the subject of reducing the salaries, benefits and pensions of all the politicians and appointed high level govt. positions? Some of these same Government leaders greatly contributed to the fiscal collapse we’re all facing, yet lazy and irresponsible voters have rewarded them by keeping them in office.
So what does a Governor, Congressman, Senator or State Senator, HUD Secretary, State Attorney General, District Atty, Tax Collector, Comptroller, Treasury Secretary, Judge, Obama Czar, Education Secretary, City Councilman, Sheriff or Property Appraiser earn, and how much of their pre-agreed upon wages and benefits are we going to be taking from each of them? What about the support staffs of the upper level politicians or how about the Dog Catcher, School Superintendant or Principals and others on taxpayer payrolls – how much do they make? And please tell me what justifies giving a Senator a pension for life after 4 years in office? Pensions which often include free medical care for life! And why are these pensions then passed onto their spouses upon the politicians deaths?
Also, no one has mentioned anything about going after the ‘non-union’ govt. salaries, benefits and pensions – which are very often based on what the union members have negotiated – and sometimes it’s even more – especially when they get to vote for their own raises. Attacking union bosses I suppose I can understand, because some of them act like gangsters on par with the crooked and inept politicians they’ve used union member dues to purchase. But attacking unions as it is being done is mostly hurting the union members and their families who are just trying to get by like everybody else. So if it’s really about saving taxpayer dollars and not merely a veiled attempt at busting unions for big businesses, then let’s go after all of these other groups mentioned here so we can really save taxpayer dollars – and since they’re so vocal on the idea of saving taxpayer money, let’s begin with the wealthy politicians bent on harming union families by cutting away at their negotiated paychecks, pensions and benefits.
Breaking News in Lulz!!!!
Before I send this over to www.damnyouautocorrect.com I wanted to post it here first. This shit had me laughing out loud for a good 30-minutes. Almost non-stop.
And let me just say a few things:
1. I have never typed anything about “titties,” “tatas,” “boobs,” or anything that great in my phone ever before and -
2. I’m late to the party in that I just learned there is apparently a whole big world of “Sexting” I’m missing out on and -
3. I had just met a couple of cool chicks at the bar downstairs and was texting them “Have a good NIGHT” so we had each other’s numbers …
And this is what happened:
Yea.
Exactly.
It’s an Android.
Me too.
And that’s about it. The future is amusing some times.
So if you missed the prank call of Wisconsin Gov. Walker’s office like I did till just now, then you’re in for an interesting listen. I also suspect Walker had a clue he wasn’t really talking to Koch somewhere towards the beginning because he was sticking more to talking points than an actual flowing conversation. Or maybe partisans really are thoughtlessly talking automatons.
Anyway, talking points aside I’ve learned more about mental retardation in the last 20 minutes then I ever cared to know in a life time. I mean, don’t get me wrong – I love to hate on Democrats as much as the next guy but professional Republicans really are a special breed.
There are soooo many things about this conversation that make me cringe. Mainly the fact that apparently these people are really THAT out of touch. I just figured they were all really good overpaid actors trucked in from Sherman Oaks, Beverly Hills and Bel Air. So other than what I mentioned above, I learned:
1. Walker and “his people” actually perceive people who make money to have more open minds than oh say… the ones who don’t make money? I didn’t know being rich made you more open to the world!!! When did that memo come out?!
2. Walker believes people who have the time to get out and protest are the very “unionized” kind of pricks who should get pink slips for skipping work to protest. Apparently all protesters are work ditching badies because clearly if you’re out protesting, then you’re not working. I’m wondering what his stance is on draft dodging ? I digress – no one should be allowed to not be working if all they’re going to do is spend their free time protesting! Protest? Utter non-sense. Fire those wage slave shills!
3. EVERYONE IS EQUAL!!!! You know? It’s logical to feel excusably justified in making everyone suffer equally. Just not the other way around, of course. If “Sally bus driver” is having hard times because of the original Republican/Libertarian fair economy crushing policies – then no one else should be doing well. OBVIOUSLY! So fuck you people who aren’t as affected by the last 10-years of the Fed in bed with Goldman Sachs/Enron! Right? I mean are you with me on this people!? Who do these average working assholes think they are?! Doing moderately better than the rest of us poor saps…. grumble, grumble, grumble … and so on.
4. Apparently Republicans refer to each other as “One of us.” Almost like it’s some really serious club for hair loss or impotency.
5. Air traffic control were bothersome symbols of communism. Air traffic safety and clean water. I mean really WTF is that other than a huge waste of money (over human life.)
6. Politicians really do hire fake protesters and agitators! I suspected that but it is now confirmed.
7. They really are in bed with big money jizz-buckets like Koch. Next time I’m calling Obama claiming to be Oprah. We’ll see how far I get.
and
8. They’re more right/correct than anyone else. Because they say so. I guess I knew that one.
Anyway – Give the calls a listen yourself. It’s beautiful, beautiful….

INBOX: Calin Paunescu via LinkedIn (7K) Calin Paunescu wants to stay in touch on LinkedIn
This was a boss of mine in 2004 whom I reported to Illinois Dept. of Human Rights as he tried to force me to grope him and make out with him while we were out on a business call.
1. Yes THIS is what women deal with in the work force every fucking day in the 21st century.
2. WTF is wrong with this asshole?
