Can you imagine having 5 weeks of vacation ??!!
I know one person off the top of my head that gets five weeks of vacation a year.

For someone who dislikes the French as much as he does, shrubby sure has adopted their vacationing ideas.

1. My mom does
she's been at her job for 25 years though. She also gets paid way less than the shrubster despite the fact that she's 10x smarter.

19. 24 X 7
I saw a comment somewhere that called the chimperor the 24 X 7 president 24 hour a week 7 months of the year and even that may be charitable.

4. Don't forget thats 5 weeks in a ROW.
I know a few folks here, that have 30+ years in who get 6 weeks. But they are so damn knowledgeable and important, just getting one week off is a huge pain in their ass as far as project responsibilties go. But to get 5 weeks in a row, impossible.

8. Not while I was on the government payroll
Hell, I never even got to take the 30 days (that includes weekends and holidays, if you take leave over them) I got a year. I lost more leave than that fucker chimp ever earned!

18. Working?
WORKING? That would imply some effort, right?

I've seen nothing of that sort. Posing for smug shots does not apply.

15. After recieving a 100% pay raise! Bush was the first to Benefit from a
100% pay raise given to all future Presidents by Bill Clinton. Only with the Fascist Republicans does America get 1/2 the President for Twice the money.

Tommorrow every American needs to go into work and tell their fascist overlords. I want a 100% Pay Raise. Then come hell or high water. I'm taking the next 5 weeks off. There are people down south that need help.
