President Obama, flanked by his Coffee Czar and high-ranking members of the Federal Emergency Coffee Acquisition League (FECAL) held a press conference this morning to comment on the Starbucks’ White Chocolate flavoring outage which started in the Midwest over the Holidays and has now, pandemic-like, spread to the NorthEast.
He was quick to take full responsibility and went so far as to say: “The ‘Bucks stops with me. We failed to connect the cups. We thought the Omaha area outage was an isolated incident. I had assurance from officials in Seattle that the system worked.”
Obama went on to say that a full investigation was necessary and most likely, the monies to support this investigation would be available through the sure-to-be-upcoming TARP III.
Harry Reid-D Nevada added: “TARP III, in addition to this pertinent White Chocolate distribution investigation, will also devote billions of federal dollars to discover why the sky is blue, create a scientific panel to turn all this freezing cold snow a beautiful green shade to get Al Gore to quit pouting & appoint a team to figure out why on Earth David Axelrod is still wearing a mustache in the year 2010.”

GREAT! Now we’ll never know! I just got off Skype with Rahm & he says they’ve bagged the White Chocolate Investigatory part of TARP III and just decided to blame it on Cheney and Rove. They figure no one in Press will question it.Turns out they needed those tax-payer $$$’s for Nancy’s next round of Botox and to purchase QuickBooks Premier so Timmy Geithner can try and pay his taxes this year.

You won’t need to read it because your fierce, fearless NotSoSoccerMom said about the same things (perhaps more funny- you decide) waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back on March 24th 2008 (see Article in March Archives “Grump & Snore+ More (My Take on Jon & Kate“)

When I’m not reading the complete works of Tolstoy or teaching my kids Latin I might be found watching a few reality shows. Just a –cough- few…. COUGH COUGH….Scuze me, I must have choked on a piece of organic fruit leather.
I got sucked into Jon & Kate Plus 8 by my girls, mostly cuz it’s one of the 3 shows left on TV that you can watch with children in the room. Read the rest of this entry »

I just figured out that Jerry is “that guy”. He’s the guy in the airport Starbucks line on his Blackberry yakking to someone about “the customer’s needs” and ‘transparency’ (hot new biz buzzword) while holding several 3 ring binders and a few managerial self-helpy business guy books like “Leading Change” and “Confidence”. The other day a package arrived at the house and he said. seriously, “It’s a present from my manager.” The girls and I got excited about a possible tin of popcorn or maybe, a little outfit for the baby? It was yet another book like that. Throws it on the pile right next to “Game Changer- How You Can Drive Revenue & Profit Growth With Innovation.” Scintillating.
Here’s a few more, ahem, lesser-known titles and adaptations to some already popular Managerial Guy books….. You’ll wanna run right out and get them for everyone on your Christmas List.
