SHIT! Another person terminated yesterday. NOt my department, but someone at the corporate HQ where I work, versus the plants. crap crap crap. I thought we might have a week without any. This guy was a nice guy too. more than 10 years with the company.
3 departments at hq have fired a single employee in the last 30 days for unknown reasons not connected to the big violation of core values firings that happened last week. If all departments were tasked with cutting some, then 3-4 more people will be going soon. They need to do more than one a week if that is the plan, because this cannot drag on for another month.
anything with the moon landing?
Award acceptance speeches? "You like me, you really like me"?
Hivemind, help me with a research project. Can you think of any impromptu speeches (i.e. not written in advance), or any speeches that could inspire empathy? Has to be post-1950 (i.e. has a chance of being found in a broadcast news archive) and nothing from MLK since we've already pulled all of his that we can use.
Controversial but the first thing that comes to mind-- possibly because I say a version of it to my cats a lot -- "I can hear you, the rest of the world can hear you and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon."

What about Tom Hanks award speech when he won for Philadelphia and talked about his high school drama teacher (Skyline High School in MY CITY, ahem) who was gay?
Thanks guys, these are good. (I wish we could use awards acceptance speeches, but we don't own the rights.)

Wait--did you mention this reason before? What counts for this? This is really kind of scary...
My sister forwarded me a NYT article on Obama disappointment, and I ripped apart the author's connection between the premise and conclusion, and now I feel bad because she really liked the writing. Ah, well. That's what older siblings are for--to remind you there's no Santa.
One of our GAs had a slice of King Cake that she heated up in the microwave.
Yes - she NUKED the Baby Jesus.
How about the speech Nelson Mandela gave at the beginning of his trial in 1964 where he said he was prepared to die?
or LBJ when signing the Civil Rights Bill? But I can't recall if that was considered scripted.

ita - I am pretty sure it was racial descrimination. There is a possibility is was gender descrimination or harrassment. Either way - it was a case or one person doing it, and a chain of people up knowing about it and doing nothing, so the whole lot got fired.
