Daily Doozy - .ffws

FFWS or FFTLD (usually seen as .ffws or .fftld) - Is a Duckieism for a Fake Freakin' Web Site. Sometimes we have a company, organization, or location in our world that would be a place that would have a website  but they aren't important enough for us to actually go out and build the danged thing.
Make sense? Nah, not to us either, but that's the way our boss wants it to work.

Daily Doozy - The Acronym 1CR

1CR is a shortcut for The One Class Rule.

Having nothing to do with social class implications, this rule is what normally defines the key difference between government bureaucrats and corporate bureaucrats.

A government bureaucrat at least CLAIMS to have attended one ethics class in college, or university, or whatever the hell they call the school they went to.

Whereas, it's become obvious of late that most modern American business schools* (aside from teaching frat boys how to loudly change "No Means Yes, Yes Means ****," are proud of the fact that they don't let ethics muddy the waters or obscure their focus.

*Not such a big deal, we're pretty sure that the Swiss and other European business schools have been ignoring ethics for generations. (Though, we are happy to report, this may be changing.)

Daily Doozy - EvCross America

First: OK, we missed yesterday. Even though we do believe in paying our fair share of taxes to support things like streets, bridges, protecting people from nasty chemicals, thieves, and dangerous workplaces... and the billion other good things our tax dollars do, when we can keep then out of the hands of the freakin' lobbyists and investment bankers...we're still always rushing at the last minute to get the things filed.

Ergo, no Doozy yesterday. But here is one in the -- shall we say spirit -- of things for today....

EvCross America is market slang (this IS America) for Evangelical Crossway, the huge organization that recently partnered with the huger organization Acolytica to form the MTLTA SuperPAC. Between these two organizations, MTLTA has committed over $3 billion, give or take a .5 or so -- after all, this is almost real money -- as SEED cash for supported candidates. Learn more about MTLTA SuperPAC.
