Remember, you job doesn't want you to be the "creative, motivated, self-starter" that they advertised for. They want an <a href="http://headrush.typepad.com/creating_passionate_users/2006/10/knocking_the_ex.html">obedient robot</a> that can be micro-managed.<br /><br />You can't have a career without having a job.

I looks like the trial has turned into a parade of "Saddam looked at me wrong, now I get to whine" witnesses. In Iraq now, it looks like you're either a witness against Saddam or an insurgent fighter.<br /><br />This is what happens when you put on a show trial without input from Hollywood.
