In the machine shop:
“Well, you know that guy King?, I’m a little worried about him.”
“What’s up? He’s been here a long time.”
“I know, but now he’s passing out this book, it has all kinds of porn in it, and shit about blacks.”
“A book?”
“Yeeah, I think it’s from France. He’s been talking it up for a while, all this immigrant shit. He hates Mexicans, but this is really somethin’ . I am going to bring it up with the union steward Monday night. That girl from India who does our CNC programming? I think she’s gettin’ scared of the guy, And Jamal over on the horizontal boring machine, he’s getting ready to murder him”.
“OK, I’ll have him in here and talk to him. That kind of talk violates our new contract with Eurometal. We can’t afford to look bad, it’d cost us!
I don’t know why nobody noticed it before!”
Same thing in the downtown financial skyscraper, and at the big buffet restaraunt, and at the suburban real estate office, and at the main library. There isn’t one private business with a HR policy and PR sense in the country that would keep this asshole, Steve King of Iowa, on the job. And he works for us!
Our “leaders” in congress haven’t censured him? The people of Iowa haven’t acted to recall him? Our national press hasn’t called him on it? He hasn’t been forced to defend himself?
Why has he been re-elected six times?
