Judge sides with man fired for posting 'Dilbert' comic at office
A judge has sided with a man who was fired for posting a "Dilbert" comic strip that made fun of managers on an office bulletin board.
David Steward was fired from the Catfish Bend Casino because management found the cartoon "very offensive," human resources director Steve Morley testified at a recent unemployment benefits hearing. The casino had challenged his claim for unemployment benefits.
"Basically, he was accusing the decision-makers of being drunken lemurs," Morley testified. "We consider that misconduct when you insult your employer."
The rest of the article describes the Dilbert comic. It sounds to me like "drunken lemurs" was a simile....
Katrina was because God hates us for tolerating the Jews?
Because New Orleans is a hotbed of Jewish cabals and Mardi Gras is one of their religious holidays?
Y'ALL! I WAS JUST NOTIFIED THAT LITTLEST SISTER JUST GOT ENGAGED!!!
Really brightened up my day! I'm getting a brother in law!
Congrats, DJ's sister!

That explains all those dreidel-shaped Mardi Gras beads I kept finding on Bourbon Street.
You know what's a bummer? Getting a phone call from the front desk that there's a package for you...a package right before Christmas...getting all excited and going down to pick it up...and then discovering that the "package" is, in fact, a folder full of recommendation letter requests. D'oh!
YAY!! Happy new member of the Jane clan day!

It's a Christmas non-miracle!
Very happy day! She's been dating this guy for years now so he's already practically part of the family.
Of course now things that Mr. Jane used to get first dibs on, he'll have to fight over with Mr. Littlest Sister.
New Orleans Hillel actually does have a very Mardi Gras-themed Purim. (What? It's about the same time of year, and the big parts of Purim are get drunk, dress in costumes, and make noise. It was lots of fun. Also, since the Hillel house counted as a private residence, drinking age there was 18 rather than 21, and there was an open bar.)
