My pastor said it was OK. Yeah, she tried to get him a job at the U of C Hospitals, but all the "gimme" jobs had been taken by wives... Like my dress? Well, it does make your ass look big...maybe if you removed your head, you betcha... HTH, R OTOH, ya gotta give some credit to BP, what with having the foresight to give a job to the guy who was married to the girl who, a coupla years later, would become the mayor of Wasilla...

The "no-show" job was a bribe. Plain and simple. Alaskan corruption is right up there with Mississippi corruption. But then maybe you don't read the papers about BP which right in your backyard has been getting away with safety violations at its operations in all the Gulf states. Violations that have killed American workers. Of course if a person didn't give a **** about American workers I guess they might consider bribing an industry watchdog committee member an exhibition of "foresight."

Dave These folks aren't conservatives, they are TORIES, I love it when a shot across the bow goes right through the wheel house. Frank Reid Well, if he hadn't fired before he checked where he was aiming, he wouldn't have a hole in his own glass wheel house... Not that facts have anything to do with it, but Palin went to work for BP about the same time he got married (about 20 years ago), and before Sarah was even on the Wasilla town council, much less on any "watchdog committee." I'd say that Sarah Palin's state political career may well have negatively affected Todd Palin's oilfield career rather than helped it as, IIRC, he was moved to a non-management position while she was on the "watchdog committee," and knowing a bit about the industry, I'd say it's likely he was sorta looked at, at least by the "rank and file," as "Mr. Sarah" rather than "Mr. Palin." He was never more than, IIRC, a production supervisor or superintendent (basically, a "blue collar" mid-level manager) and from all I've heard, he basically worked his way up to it (and it isn't all that far a trip). Anyone with the least bit of familiarity with the industry would hardly call his employment history and "rise" to such a position in 20 years unusual. As to "safety violations," I know a fair number of people in all phases of the petroleum industry, from roustabouts and tool pushers to upper management and company owners, and pretty much universally, they support the industry's treatment of them. And it certainly isn't in the self-interest of the big multi-nationals like BP to ignore safety. Much of the supposed "violations" are "worker-choice" rather than "management directed" - look at the mess/explosion at Texas City with the tower start and blowdown system. Even if you assume "management" doesn't care in the least for any of the workers (which I know not to be true), it simply isn't in the company's interest to blow up the company's facilities. Last I heard, even the steelworker's union wasn't accusing BP of anything - it was just a series of mistakes, some made by contractors, that led to a tragic accident. Plus, many are OSHA reg violations that "management" has little control over in actual daily practice, such as personnel failing to wear appropriate (and provided) safety gear, just as it is in a lot of the construction industry. For example, I've personally seen gang boxes of fall arresters and harnesses sitting unused on both wellsites and jobsites, due to workers not wanting to wear them rather than "management" not providing them. They are literally ordered to use them, they wear them until company safety and/or OSHA leaves, and off they come. HTH, R |
