ATTENTION ALL RECRUITS
RE: SPECIALIZED DEPARTMENTAL EVALUATION


Namaste.

I am pleased to announce the release of the sixth assessment in the Dharma Initiative’s Volunteer Recruitment Program is now available at www.dharmawantsyou.com.

This latest assessment has been specifically designed around the results of your previous examinations.

It is a multiple-choice exam and aims to determine your suitability for a number of departments within the Dharma Initiative.

Additionally, a select group of talented recruits have contributed to this examination. The outstanding efforts of these individuals stand as an example to us all.

The following recruits have been officially promoted to ‘Instructor’ status;

Bboepple, DanyWho, Ellenh, Iseibert, Lost4evr, Mattabramson, Orangemoonbeam, Sawyer78, Wrinkledogs.

Instructors will receive an official Dharma Initiative Instructor t-shirt for their efforts.

IMPORTANT: SECURITY UPDATE

Please be aware that investigations are continuing into the latest security breach discovered around the Volunteer Recruitment Program. Measures are being implemented to preserve the integrity of the program and to ascertain the identity of ‘Black Swan’. Additionally, assessment data is being analyzed in order to determine which recruits may have exploited confidential information.

Recruits found to have benefited illegally from this material will be dealt with appropriately by the Dharma Initiative’s Recruit Evaluation Panel.

In the meantime, I urge all recruits to avoid contact with the material being distributed by ‘Black Swan’. The integrity of the entire Volunteer Recruitment program is at risk.

Namaste.

Bag of Randomness

  • If I were Mark Cuban rich, I would sooooooo have an ICEE machine in my house.
  • Oh, how I miss Tim Russert right now.
  • I am now dumber for watching Knight Rider the other night.  I didn’t intent to watch it, it just happen to be the next show on after whatever we were watching.  I don’t mind the campy acting, that’s to be expected, but when the car actually starts to transform in a completely unrealistic way, I can’t believe what they are trying to sell me.  At least the original show kept the realm of realism into play.
  • The first 15 minutes of that show was soooo absurd.  Somehow KITT, guy, and girl make this escape and some sort of heat seeking missile hits KITT, and not only does KITT survive but the missile had some sort of special chemical engulfed KITT in flames and continued to burn and heat up the inside no matter how fast KITT was driving down the road.  In order to stay alive, guy and girl had to strip down to keep their bodies cool until KITT would go into some kind of vacuum chamber to suck out all the oxygen to extinguish the flames.  It was like the writers were just trying to find an excuse to show some skin . . . not that I’m totally complaining about that.
  • However, that girl in the lead role could be the best looking thing on television.  Feel free to Google her, Deanna Russo is her name.
  • I noticed a lot of background noise during Bush’s address to the nation the other night, as if someone in the background was moving stuff.
  • I didn’t realize that the Commission of Presidential Debates has only been around since 1987.
  • Finally . . . Survivor is in HD.
  • Ray Boltz has updated his website.
  • Sarah Palin swimsuit competition video if you are interested.
  • I noticed that the comics on Yahoo! Comics that I read (Luann is my favorite) are now in color.  I prefer the black and white.
  • I watched the University of Texas and Arkansas game Saturday, and during the game you see commercials from each university.  UT sure is lucky to have an alum like Walter Cronkite to do the voice over.
  • Cronkite turns 92 this November.
  • His voice also introduces Katie Couric for the CBS Evening News.
  • I’m so thankful that I’m not a North Korean, I mean, have you seen their video arcades?
  • Frog eats bird
  • Gwyneth Paltrow has launched her own lifestyle website: Goop.com.
  • I’ve noticed how all documentaries now a days turn certain objects in still pictures 3-D’ish.
  • I don’t like reading websites using RSS feeders.  I understand why many do, but I simply prefer checking out the websites themselves.
  • After watching the Amazing Race, I now know three people named Starr, but I haven’t met any of them.
  • The Cowboys lost, which means this will be a long work week.
  • Looking at the box score, Dallas running back only rushed 8 times.  Actually, all those rushes came from Marion Barber.  Felix Jones didn’t get one carry, what’s up with that?
  • I think I’m going to the State Fair this weekend with my best friends.  I only have been once, but didn’t get to check out any cool stuff like the car show because of a concert.
  • I’ve been on a Michael Buble kick as of late, which lead me to this thought . . . if he and Norah Jones had a child I bet that kid would be on heck of a crooner.

Pastors to defy IRS

During sermons this Sunday, some 35 pastors across the country will tell their congregations which presidential candidate they should vote for, “according to the Scriptures.”

Their endorsements represent a direct challenge to federal tax law, which prohibits tax-exempt organizations from engaging in partisan political activity.

The clergy have embraced that risk, hoping their actions will trigger an investigation by the Internal Revenue Service, which would then enable a Christian legal advocacy group to take the IRS to court and challenge the constitutionality of the ban.
