If you are working, then you expect to get paid for that day.

Line up another job before you do that though....

...what they just don't know and fill their fear vacuums with blogosphere paranoia.

is going to make sure Barack Obama is a two-term President.

Maybe if they paid up front........ Nope. Still hate it.

I can't wait to watch that bite them in the ass when they try to turn on them both when/if Hillary runs. It's gonna be awesome.

.. who her top advisor would be.

Clinton/Warren in 2016....

Clinton/Warren has a nice ring to it!

Just imagine heads exploding on the right if Women held the top two slots in our Nation!

Holy S**T!

complaint. Are there any lawyers reading to give Dain advice? Good for you with the RWNJ bagger too.

I interpreted the OP as meaning that, for four days after Sandy, the company was closed, so no one could work, and they won't get paid for those days. My guess is that the employer can get away with not paying them for time they didn't work, unless there's a contract to the contrary (a collective bargaining agreement or an employee manual that a court would treat as a contract).

Some of the employers in the NYC area are paying workers for the days of closure, even though they didn't work. As the OP shows, that's a good move in terms of employee morale, but it's certainly costly to the employer.

Christie looks terrible, and I'm not sure he could hold up to the rigors of a campaign for president. And if he actually won, then he probably couldn't handle the stress of the presidency. His obesity is a major health concern.

They keep saying they are going to run Christie and win. But Christie can't run anywhere and he would represent all that is wrong with America and confirm what other nations think of us. We are greedy, overweight, bullies, with no self control.

I get this crap all of the time from Right wingers and I have started looking at them innocently and saying, "I'm a patriot so of course I support our president."

This usually shuts them up for a few minutes, but no guarantee with the fundies.

Never mind - it's probably beyond their comprehension level

Barack Obama will get, though not by much!!

If they can't win, they'll try and use a threat.

They don't accept not being able to have a baby as Gods will. They used to not have a choice. Now fundies will even use science to have a baby!

I have one word:
Quiverfull!!!

Click through. Don't worry. It's Wikipedia.

Ought to be entertaining to look it up in Conservapedia. For those wanting to tread down that path, here it is:
Quiverfull <==== Red Alert!!

Nota bene: Conservapedia is the product of Andrew Schafly, the son of Phyllis Schafly. Us women's right folk should all remember her.

Christie won't propose raising taxes which would help somewhat. Some of the problem is because of underfunding of public employees' pensions. He won't fully fund the state's share of the annual pension bill. Nor does he make any effort to pay the past due amount.

Those items should endear him to fundies. The problem is there are fewer and fewer fundies every year.

He has 62% approval in the state. He may be re-elected to the governorship. His biggest problem is that the state employees will be out in force to vote against him. In the last election, the state employee union members stayed home because Corzine instituted furlough days for state workers. The election that Christie won was one with low voter turnout.

we live in the United States of Stupid now, don't we?

that she is moving to Australia because our president is a Christian male who means what he says.

Christie will not pass the medical exam required . If he does not lose some weight and begin taking care of himself I doubt he will live much longer then 2020. I am not being snide, it is just the fact, he has a hard time talking without puffing , I wonder what two flights of stairs would do to him. If Hillary decides to run in 2016, it's all over for anyone, they might as well concede before the primaries!

a grueling nomination process let alone a presidential campaign. I'm not making fun of his weight, just stating the obvious. Being so overweight is very unhealthy and he has many potential risks such as heart disease, diabetes, breathing problems, etc. Not to mention the stress of presidential politics, it can take a toll on even a healthy person. Christie would need to get healthy before he could even consider a presidential run.

I don't care who the Democrates run. If Christie runs, he loses.

That should make her blood boil....(chuckle) Sorry about work situation, glad you got to stand by your beliefs.

Side note/question...is it the overall consensus that VP Biden isn't going to run himself, or do y'all think if Sec Clinton wants to run, it's hers for the taking? Just curious to see where folks are in this whole thing. I love them both, just was wondering...DU is the best place see what ppl think.

Wishing you all a happy, healthy, & warm holiday season & a better year than the last for you & yours.
