So... two closely-related people with cancer. Could it be their annoying electronic toys? Or... maybe... just maybe... genetics might have something to do with it?
Everyone in my immediate family has had cancer except me (so far). We all played with our sheepdog when I was a kid. Therefore, sheepdogs cause cancer. (I just happen to have sheepdog-immunity.) Yes, that makes perfect sense.
By the way, would you ask any other person claiming to have a serious health issue to "prove it and, by the way, don't bleed on my couch"?
Oh hell yes. If they really have all these symptoms, then someone needs to figure out what really is going on, rather than accepting their ridiculous claims of a malady that is entirely unsupported by evidence.
Sure... crush my hopes... which were admittedly completely unjustified. In other news, a rather-delayed letter from my former healthcare provider informs me that an unknown hacker accessed the parts of their system that contain "personal information, like name, address, date of birth, social security number, medical record number, Medicare or health plan ID number, and some medical information (e.g. medical condition, medications, procedures, and test results)." So, nothing important.
The DOJ accused USIS of faking background checks on 665,000 federal employees -- something the DOJ understatedly called "taking shortcuts."
Just wondering... Would that mean that those particular federal employees' information was safe from the recent OPM hack? (or were they part of a different system altogether?)
The City of El Segundo is located in Southwest Los Angeles County and home to numerous Aerospace businesses such as Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, Aerospace Corp and the Los Angeles Air Force Base. Our tactical team is in dire need of a armored vehicle for operational use.
Raytheon is pretty scary. But I'm not sure an armored vehicle would be much use against them.
To put it in another context, the officers' claim of misrepresentation by videotape is roughly equivalent to telling your boss when he's firing you for showing up for work drunk that he's "misrepresenting" the situation by "editing" down your work history to the day you showed up drunk for work. What about all the days you showed up sober?
Not to abuse the analogy, but I'm guessing there aren't too many days where these cops showed up sober.
It must be maddeningly frustrating to be an inspector general. We hear of these various agency scandals, screwups, and abuses, and woven through almost every story is "inspector general issued numerous reports over many years detailing serious problems and urging immediate action to correct them..." Yet no one seems to listen to them.
