Human Resources
by Bucktowndusty
A Human Resources department does as its title suggests – use available resources to satisfy the needs of human workers. The only prerequisites required of workers for HR coddling are that they be human. And, this is a crucial flaw of HR departments. They side with humans above all else, including corporate profitability, tranquility, and survival. With my HR department’s recent proposal to create a bilingual web site for our company, they’ve demonstrated the tendency of HR departments to muscle-in on corporate tradition and disregard sovereignty and the rule of law, too.
If our company’s web site costs, say, $10,000 to create, and takes 80-hours to complete, how much money and time is required to get a bilingual version? The answer is more than double.
Now, not only does my company need to have an English-speaking coder, it needs a Spanish-speaking coder to make sure the translations are correct. Now, there is a need for two project managers instead of one. Now, each and every change of the web site must involve a communication channel with double the chatter, which only increases the odds of errors developing. And, this increase in resources is caused by HR’s insistence on catering to illegal alien laborers who shouldn’t be in the country in the first place.
The law is simple; newly arriving citizens must have basic English skills. If our company is hiring lawfully, there should be no need for a bilingual web site. Alas, they aren’t, so there is.
Even top management jeers at such proposals, but they keep quiet as not to evoke the all too familiar accusations of racism.
Apparently, the Brown vs. The Board of Education case that made it illegal to have separate but equal schools has no bearing in the corporate world. No, there’s a quite battle waging within corporate America these days. The Bilingualists have positioned themselves into positions where they can create divisions, and thus, justify their existences as the only people qualified to step in and fill the chasms.
For now, these bilingual requests are merely that – requests, but as the recent demonstrations across America by Mexicans and South Americans reveals, these requests will soon become demands, backed up by the heavy hand of HR departments nationwide. And if the HR departments need additional help, they can always bring the Diversity Department folks into the fight.
Oh, how I wish I could press 1 and make it all go away.

Is This The Direction To Bash Bush?
by A. Hamilton
After twelve years of obstructionism, the Democrats now want to be bipartisan. The stage is set; they knew they have nothing to offer, so they are already setting up one of many excuses why they won’t produce any meaningful legislation. First, they’ll say that the Republicans are bipartisan obstructionists. But, their biggest excuse will be (they will claim), President Bush has got the country so deep onto the wrong path that they just can’t get us back on course again.
The “course,” of course, is what course they want to take the country on. They have said that Bush has taken the country on the wrong course and persists, “Stay the course.” That course, of course, is to defeat the enemy in Iraq. But the Democrats, who know the correct course still will not tell us the right course. Now, of course, they say, their course will be the new direction.
Even as a, “direction,” and not a, “course,” they haven’t divulged the new direction.
Of course, they have had lots of help this week from the Baker report on Iraq, which suggested 71 different possible courses/directions for Bush to take. But they’ll still bash Bush with, “Bush won’t even adhere to the Baker Report Course.”
What it all boils down to is that the Democrats don’t know and never did have a planned course/direction for Iraq, or this country to take, so they will spend the next two years doing what they do best – bash Bush of course.
