institutionalized corruption

Corporations that fudged numbers, rating agencies that reversed engineered credit ratings, and S. E. C. members watching porn all day (with quarter million salaries); that conspired to rip-off IRAs and the retirement savings of an entire generation (sheep) and redistributed it with the help of young/fast cyber scammers--and got away with the GNP for the next ten generations, funny, huh; oh well, just print more worthless dollars.

Institutionalized corruption pays better than the mafia, and much better than the drug cartels.

non-human persons

Thomas I. White of the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics and Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles :

"Like humans, dolphins appear to be self-conscious, unique individuals with distinctive personalities, memories and a sense of self, who are vulnerable to a wide range of physical and emotional pain and harm, and who have the power to reflect upon and choose their actions."

To truly be at the "top" of the animal kingdom; then surely it is incumbent upon us to recognize non-human persons.

dexter the texter

The person that is useless to have a one on one real conversation with. Is so busy texting with either hand or both, or talking on a cell, and having a half-assed conversation, so you what ever and leave and they don't even notice or care even less.

My gf was being dexter the texter, so I just left.

short-timer's syndrome

Originally dating back to the Vietnam War. When one's rotation date (leave the country) was near, one lost focus on still being a soldier, and became a liability instead of an asset. Also, the period of time at the end of the 12th grade, when one has already been accepted into a college or the military, and is just waiting for the Senior Prom and Graduation ceremonies.

I wonder if Simon Cowell is getting short-timer's syndrome on American Idol?
