Bernie Madoff: They had to know.

Thursday, February 17, 2011

COMEDY OF ERRORS… It’s tax season, and Squid’s in a foul mood because Squid’s accountant doesn’t agree that whiskey is a business expense. It is. If it weren’t for whiskey, this column wouldn’t be written on a regular basis. Regardless, Squid’s considering downgrading to, say, glue. But first, Squid’s checking in with the Monterey County’s assistant auditor to see how it’s working out for him. 

It seems the county’s system sends out the W-2s as individual print jobs, and the printer that accepts those jobs requires a button press for approving each of those jobs – some 5,500 or more of them. The solution: hiring someone from the printer manufacturer to write a code that would simulate a button press every few seconds so the county wouldn’t have to pay someone to push that button 5,500 plus times. “This made printing the W-2s take quite a few hours,” says Squid’s tipster. “I wonder if it would have been [faster] to pay someone to push the damn button.” 

But that wasn’t the only issue with the W-2s, which brings Squid back to (huffing) glue. Apparently the glue that seals the W-2s didn’t work out, either. So the assistant auditor and his wife and a cast of others had to manually take each W-2 and press the glue out to make sure they were sealed. 

After the W-2s were finally printed, glued and handed out to county employees – but not proofread – someone noticed an error: an incorrect California Employer State ID number. On Jan. 31, the county notified employees: “This letter is to inform you that you will be receiving in the mail a new W-2 form… ” it begins. It doesn’t mention the glue.  

BIRTHER BRETHREN… Squid’s smart enough to stay out of photographic range, especially in this era of Facebook-as-permanence. So it should be no surprise that a photo surfaced in The Herald last week, showing Monterey County Republican Central Committee Vice Chairman Tom Dominy posing with former California Secretary of State candidate Orly Taitz, a leader in the birther movement.  

Unearthing old photos of crowded cocktail parties is a low blow indeed, and Squid can’t help but feel like the GOP’s had some rough breaks in dealing with its past lately, after the Weekly uncovered financial reporting shenanigans dating back as far as 2005. Squid abhors sunlight, but a Salinas P.I. sagely put it, “Sunlight’s the best antiseptic for thievery and lying.” 

One GOPer spouted wrath at the old photo, “I wouldn’t wrap a fish in The Herald out of respect for the fish.” Squid’s advice: take responsibility for the past instead of pretending it didn’t happen, and get over the unfounded doubts about Obama’s origins already. That’s so 2008.

I am Orly Taitz, who was named by the media "The leader of the birther movement". Recent polls show that 60% of Americans and as much as 72% of all Republican voters believe that Obama was not born in this country. Governor of HI could not find the original BC, Recently retired Senior Deportation officer of the Department of Homeland Security, John Sampson, stated in his sworn affidavit that the CT SS number Obama is using was originally issued to another individual in CT. ObamaFraudGate needs to be prosecuted just like Watergate was prosecuted and a number of senior officials in the government and in the Democratic party will end up with prison terms. Idiots writing for this paper do not understand, that posing for pictures with me adds votes and popularity to Republican candidates. You can get more info on my blog OrlyTaitzESQ.com If this paper wants to stop defrauding it's readers and wants to start writing the truth, they can call me for an interview at 949-683-5411 or write at orly.taitz@gmail.com

I am NOT Orly Taitz. Since she has decided to darken the door of this publication, readers can now see for themselves that she is utterly unprofessional, resorting to name calling, invented polling, and non-existent "evidence". Taitz has lost every law suit she's filed. She was sanctioned $20,000 by a federal judge for outrageous conduct in his courtroom, and this sanction has been upheld by the United States Supreme Court. Hopefully, the State of California's Bar will do something about this woman. Such a move is long overdue.

Dr Obly Taitz says : John Sampson, stated in his sworn affidavit that the CT SS number Obama is using was originally issued to another individual in CT.

No he didn't.

His affydavids are posted on her own site as http://www.orlytaitzesq.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Affidavit-of-John-Sampson-03.08.2010.pdf and http://www.orlytaitzesq.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Affidavit-of-John-Sampson-09.23.10.pdf

He states that the number purportedly issued to President Obama is in a series NORMALLY issued in Connecticut, and that President Obama has no direct connections to Connecticut.

The SSA site itself warns that the association of SSN's by state is unreliable.

TJH

ps It's illegal in California to post individual's SSN's, but Dr Obly persists in doing so.

Dear Squid....

For amusment and giggles may I suggest you mosey on over to the forums at The Fogbow where for your personal delectation there is a wealth of Orly-ness and general Birfoon insanity.

Gasp at the legal insanity of "The Worst Lawyer in the World " (allegedley)

Moan at the ongoing details in a lawsuit where Orly and others are being sued by a former adulterous lover of Orly...for "stuff"

Laugh Where you see the 80+ lawsuits the Birfers have tried on being lovingly archived and analyzed

Giggle in wonder at the cast and crew of the barking mad who are the seditious Birfoon tendency
