As I write this, nine men have been rescued from the bowels of the earth in Chile. This is a miracle, man-made and otherwise. The whole world, except for the Muslim nations, came forward to help accomplish this rescue. Where was this help during the Gulf Oil Spill? If this had happened in the United States, the government red tape would have prevented this type of successful outcome.
Does Will County need to be disbanded? Remember the Riley Fox case? It was rushed to a conclusion right before an election. They were wrong and paid millions in damages. Drew Peterson has been a circle jerk for three years. That caser will not end successfully. Now comes the police officer arrested for the shooting spree in Illinois and Indiana. Once again they rushed to an arrest right before an election. They released him. They determined they were wrong, again. What a bunch of jerks. A monkey with ears could do a better job as the head of police and prosecution in Will County.
Do you know what a ‘purple squirrel’ means? It is a term used in the employment recruiting industry and by human resource people. The term is synonymous with ‘ideal candidate’. It refers to a person who is a perfect fit for a particular job.
THE PURPLE SQUIRREL
Most recruiters know that a Purple Squirrel is a very rare, highly sought after, almost extinct species of candidate. In other words, it is the hire that requires very specific knowledge and qualifications. Perhaps the one above or below qualifies.
Experts are not sure how this squirrel got to be purple. It could be genetics. It could have fallen into purple paint, they just don’t know. They cannot catch it for a real good look. It lives outside of a school in Hampshire, England, or at least it did.
One clue is that he frequently pops into a building where old printers are stored. TV wildlife expert Chris Packham said: 'It is possible he has been chewing on a purple ink cartridge and then groomed that coloring into his fur.Next time you are watching squirrels eat or play, give the purple squirrel a thought. He just might brighten your day. If pictures did not come through, google 'purple squirrel' and click result experts baffled.
