The Wild Wild West - USA!
Haliburton with Impunity!
Halliburton and KBR, its former subsidiary, were the largest defence department contractors in Iraq. Critics allege that huge contracts were won in part because of ties to George Bush's government, particularly to his vice-president, Dick Cheney, a former Halliburton chief executive who left the company during the 2000 presidential campaign with a $36m pay-off.
The Texas-based firm has a controversial history. In the early 1990s it was fined $3.8m for breaking trade embargoes on Iraq and Libya. Last year, a former KBR president, Albert "Jack" Stanley, pleaded guilty to overseeing the payment of $182m in bribes to win engineering contracts in Nigeria.
Critics allege that Halliburton/KBR won a contract to plan oil-well firefighting in the Iraq invasion because no other firm was permitted to bid.
The Pentagon's auditor found Halliburton/KBR was linked to "the vast majority" of fraud cases investigated by the defence department in Iraq. Furthermore, a civil servant who oversaw contracts accused Halliburton of unlawfully receiving preferential treatment over contracts for work in Iraq, Kuwait and the Balkans. The firm reportedly severely overcharged the Pentagon for fuel deliveries to Iraq. Halliburton is headquartered in Houston, Texas but has recently opened a new joint head office in Dubai

Stupid Idiots!
Stupidity on both sides!
Men in general are stupid. This stupid Dutch MP comes in to the UK and start causing trouble and he doesnt know what he is talking about. Now the other side,so called Muslim men wanted to bring Sharia law to the UK. I see what kind of Sharia Law are we talking about. Their version of Islam right whereby the chopping of hands, oppression of women, suppression of freedom of speech.
It makes me so angry when people talk before actually knowing all the facts and understand the reasoning behind it. So like the Bible doesnt teach about an eye for an eye. I ask these so called Muslim men why is it that we are not allowed free speech without being threatened Shariah Law. And to the Dutch MP, do you know what you are talking about? Truly!

Perakian says "Some people are so smug!"
Ms Pease set back the cause of women's rights back a few decades. Excessive maternity leave and eye watering payo outs. Well not everyone is privileged to have a nanny to look after their brood like Ms Pease. For her to say that there are no sexual discrimination then either she is deemed an equal within her male cronies or they dont find her a treat or even worse sexually attractive. Men in general especially in power would love to assert their authority in every way they can.
Mind you I will not say this is as prevalent as a couple of decades ago but still the old school prevails. Women like her coupled with a couple of giddy school girl types set the cause of equality for women back a couple of generations behind.
It angers me tremendously to hear a highly successful women to talk nonsense. I like so many women in lower paid, middle management and even upper rung of career have had run ins with the seamier side of our career. One of my so called male colleagues actually said it is the perks of his job to have a few gropes with the female colleague. I took him seriously even though he insists that it was said in jest.
It is about time that we in the society treat women as equal as possible. Should the women decided to take time off to look after the baby and I personally dont think that a year is too long then so be it. I would say that should their partner, wishes to take time off and let their wives or partners go back to work then it is a good thing too.

Lehman Brothers - A nice place to resign from!
Lehman Brothers, a good place to work!. Ex UK staff join queue to sue Lehman for more than $100m in lost earnings and bonuses. Top bankers who worked for Lehman Brothers' UK division are suing the bust firm in claims amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars.
Six former bosses of the European operations are claiming more than $100million between them.
Among them is Riccardo Banchetti, former joint CEO of Lehman’s Europe, who is after $26million despite spending just a few weeks in the job.
Top share dealer David Bizer, who was co-head of equity sales, has filed for $21million in lost deferred remuneration. Within a couple of months he was hired by Nomura's European arm.
Within weeks of the bank's collapse Nomura had also hired Kieran Higgins and Georges Assi, Lehman’s' co-heads of fixed-income, both now filing for $18million each.
Other claimants include Giancarlo Sarrone, Harsh Shah, Conservative party backer Jeremy Isaacs (former European chief executive) and Rachid Bouzouba, former head of equity sales.

How wonderful is it to be an ex Lehman employee. Not a care in the world. Let us sue Lehman. They have gone bankrupt I hear you say. Well who is going to pay for that? I know! You will, I will and the lady down the road will and the guy next door will, people like you and me who will foot the bill. Who gives damn? Us, the taxpayers who will be paying for it, that’s who. Damn it is good to be Lehman Brothers ex employees.
Most of us will be living just above the bread line wondering whether we are going to have a job tomorrow? Whether we would have enough to pay for this month’s mortgage plus the proverbial bills. These so call money experts who gambled with our money and brought the world almost to the brink of disaster and in some quarter right into the black hole, these are the same people are calling for a pound of flesh to be sliced from the tax payers’ chest without anaesthesia. These the ones who felt aggrieved enough to sue the bankrupt Lehman Brothers and by proxy people like us whose tax money pays for their bail out.
I am angry and I hope you are too. What are we going to do about it? Well we should write to our members of parliament and tell them about how we feel. Get these so called members to work for their living for a change. Some of them do but for those who are still minging about the fact that the newspapers are invading their privacy then get that proverbial cattle prod well not literally but figuratively on their behind. Get thee to work as they say. Raise hell but of course use the proper channels. Ask questions and again and again until the government does something about these leeches. I don’t have a problem if these so called bankers gets bonus if their company performs well. However if your company gone kaput last year but because of government’s bail out made out phantom profit, shouldn’t it be us the tax payers be profiting from it. Increased public spending, tax cuts or something. This is definitely not on. You can’t squeeze blood from stone and expect the taxpayer to pay for your mistakes.
