Modern News is Bullshit

Pulled this from one of my favorite sites, JibJab. Yes, it is true, the modern news is Bullshit. What ever happened to presenting facts to viewers and readers and letting those viewers make their own decisions. Instead the “news” shoves politcal agendas down viewers throats to herd them like sheep…and it works.
==================
Celebrities in rehab, political punditry and a mauling at the zoo – this is what we’re calling news these days! This funny satire on broadcast news features Larry King, Bill O’Reilly, Geraldo Rivera and the rest of your favorite talking heads. This just in: modern news is a joke!

Don’t Blame Me…Ass Clown!

Watching TV today I seen a blurb on the news, were a guy and gal blamed “the man” and “society” for keeping them down and working their fast food jobs for 10 years. Damn ass clowns!

I don’t understand why do people want to always blame their short comings on others?

For instance, one decides to slack off in school and fall in with a slacker crowd. They barely pass high school and have no desire to go to college or join the military or provide some other social service. They are forced to take a job at the local McWendy’s and various other restaurants in the local community over a span of about 10-15 years. Lets not even get into why they had to work at various ones over that time.

Parenting Means Responsibility and Accountability

Parenting is one of the greatest responsibilities one can be given. Actions you take and things you say to your children can haunt you and affect them for a lifetime.

I am sorry to say I have been guilty of saying things that I wish I could take back on occasion, but once the round is fired down range it is gone and there is no bringing it back.

Accountability…yea that very, very dirty word in today’s vocabulary. Accountable for one’s own actions, how absurd that concept is. In fact asking someone in today’s society to be accountable for their actions is such a major paradigm shift that you would think it was asking for a nuclear holocaust to come.

 

At the top of the accountability ladder is leadership. A leader is accountable for everything his people do or fail to do PERIOD. Don’t blame it on your programmer, your supply chain or your installer. As a manager or leader you are responsible for your actions as well as the behavior and performance of your employees (on the job of course).
