If You Don't Like Work Place Rules, Work Some Place Else

Work is work, NOT A CHURCH...simply stated, if a Muslim does not like the rules that ALL EMPLOYEES must abide by, then they need to go work somewhere else, as this is NOT THE MIDDLE EAST, the work day DOES NOT STOP so that you can pray to fucking MECCA. That is what churches, temples and your homes are. We do not, nor should we make accomadations for someone's religion! I don't want to hear a call to prayer in my neighborhood, and if I have employees, I expect them to put in eight hours of work for eight hours of pay, and NO THERE IS NO TIME TO STOP THE PROCESS SO YOU CAN PRAY TO FUCKING ALLAH! Give us a break, a job is WORK, pray on your own time, regardless of your religious beliefs or your religious denomination.

Muslim leader: 150 workers fired over prayer dispute in Neb.

OMAHA (AP) — About 150 Muslims were fired from a Grand Island, Neb., meatpacking plant that has been embroiled in a prayer dispute, a Somali-American leader said Friday.

Mohamed Rage, who leads the Omaha Somali-American Community Organization, said 80 workers were thrown out after an altercation late Thursday. He says when they tried to return for their shift Friday, they were fired, along with 70 others.

Police said were called to the plant late Thursday amid reports of a riot or serious fight. But when officers arrived, the situation had calmed, said police Chief Steve Lamken.

Muslim workers have been asking for accommodations with break times to allow prayer at sunset. The issue led to walkouts this week — not only from Muslims but from non-Muslims who protested such accommodations as preferential treatment.

McCain Seeks Meek Submissive Door Mat Reporters To Interview Palin

Are you a meek, submissive reporter who likes groveling at the feet of a Superior Female Goddess? Do you know your place, are you a butt licking, ass sniffing writer looking for your big break into the political scene? Can you lobe Sarah Palin cream puff questions that she can hit out of the ball park? If you answered YES to all three of these questions, you might just be on the short list of reporters who might actually get and interview with Sarah Palin, the snarky, mean spirited bitch that is McCain's running mate. Personally, I'd like to interview her husband, ask him how it feels to be wearing the panties in the family while she is out mounting a big moose.

Hiding Sarah Palin behind 'deference'

Media access to the Alaska governor and vice presidential nominee will be tightly controlled. Charles Gibson of ABC gets the first shot. There's a long list of questions he could start with.

John McCain's campaign essentially confirmed over the weekend what some had suspected: Media access to Sarah Palin, would-be vice president of the United States, will be tightly controlled.

Troublemakers need not apply.

• 

And how will we know those troublemakers? They will be the ones unwilling to treat the governor of Alaska with what campaign manager Rick Davis called "some level of respect and deference."

Deference?

The dictionary definitions I find begin with "respectful submission" and "yielding."

That might be the right approach for a reporter lucky enough to interview McCain's 96-year-old mother, Roberta. (If only our politicians were so plain-spoken.)

But it would be wrong -- and, dare I say it, even sexist -- to suggest that Sarah Barracuda is too meek for a little back-and-forth with the denizens of the Fourth Estate.
