I have three pictures side by side in my house: John L. Lewis, Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Jesus. I draw Social Security on account of FDR. I draw a pension on account of John L. Lewis, and I'm going to Heaven because of Jesus.

Neiman Marcus Employees to Keep Their HeadsIt's nice when OSHA issues a big fine before someone gets their arms or legs or heads cut off. OSHA has cited OSHA issued the $93,000 willful citation for failing to enforce "lockout/tagout" procedures before employees enter a machine. The citation was levied against the Austin, Texas, Neiman Marcus "Last Call" discount clearance center. The Last Call stores offer the same upscale Neiman Marcus merchandise at 50% to 75% off retail. Wouldn't want to jeopordize the discounts by taking the time to shut down the compacter before someone crawls in, would we? Go To My Main Page
