Dunn and Dog
by Too Old For IT September 21, 2006 8:09 AM PDT
My money id on Dog the Bounty Hunter getting his life back to normal quicker.

All Dog has to do is find out which Mexican official needs his palm greased.

Dunn, OTOH, has to deal with a criminal justice system not so easily bought off.

Business ethics and Dunn
by kchenderson September 21, 2006 9:03 AM PDT
Her praise from business leaders coupled with the recent results of a poll that showed that business school students were the most likely to cheat shows the sorry state of business leaders in this country. Pathetic!

We are all behind you Patty Dumb!

Problem is Patty is a typical female, sneaky, catty and catch the mouse any which way they can, even illegally. But of course following suite of HP anything goes in the business world. This why business's have to have laws limiting why a business can not have total control over an employee. Like telling an employee they can not sky dive or scuba dive (I know from one extreme to another). Business' only pay for 8 hours a day and that is all they are going to get. On the other hand, want to pay for 24 hours, then they can have total control of my actions off work.

Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow.

Toasted for breaking the law? Pardon me while I find a nice corner
in which to throw up.

Tip of the iceberg

You've got to believe this happens all the time in corporate America
and HP just happened to get caught. What's hilarious is all the
other CEOs still honor her because they honestly can't see anything
wrong with what she did. Then she has the nuts to make a crack at
the pope and his anti-Muslim debacle. Are all business leaders paid
millions upon millions because they are just experts at talking
bullsh*t?!

a bad taste of humor
by chnyoo September 21, 2006 6:56 PM PDT
"Dunn capped her speech with a joke as well. She said 'it wouldn't hurt if the pope continued to make controversial comments'"

Now I know Dunn's taste of humor. Seems like she enjoy watching our christian brothers & sisters in the Middle East & Asia suffered because of the Pope's comment.
I know it wouldn't hurt you, Dunn, but it is a matter of life or death for us...

Dunn: "I'd like to thank all of those people..."

That made this award possible:
Richard Nixon
J. Edgar Hoover, Oh and J. that is a beautiful gown you have on tonight.
Al Capone
All of you in the KGB, you know who you are
The NSA and Homeland security
AT&T
And last but not least
George W. Bush for without his ethical leadership I would not have know it is acceptable to break laws and violate other's rights when you think it needs to be done and you're as high up in the food chain as us.

Thank you all and copies of your phone records and activities for the last year are available on the table on your way out tonight.
