Good Old New Jersey Corruption

Never heard that comment from a public figure. You sure you are thinking of the right guy?

Yet.

If I were black I'd be morally obliged to vote along with my race.

yes, yes he is.

Wasn't it a pizza menu? In any case I believe it refers to his whole no bill in congress would exceed 3 pages.

He owned a chain of pizza restaurants. Godfather's Pizza.

Where as most in politics are vampire attorneys. Hunting down victims at night and sucking the money right out of them.

Wasn't he appointed CEO by Pilsbury as Godfather's Pizza was one of their companies?

Yes.

So he didn't own his own chain of pizza restaurants then?

from the article....

"Gingrich's lead quickly began to evaporate as super PACs sympathetic to Mitt Romney and others spent over $4.4 million in negative advertising on Gingrich"

but let's keep blaming "the media" anyways...

those evil ***!

Godfather's pizza was failing and he helped make them profitable again.

No. He did what M&A companies do.

He closed 200 offices, fired employees, and made it look appealing on paper to another firm who bought it. All within 6 months.

That is how business works. Anything else professor ?

Exaggeration of what he actually said:

No. That is not how business works. That is how *** work.

As others have pointed out, totally unelectable.

In most states they can get their voting privileges restored.

I just <3 circular firing squads....

You keep jumping around man... first he owned the place now he's returning them to profitability... pick a point!

Yes, he did indeed return them to profitability and that's all he really did, return them to the status quo and in doing so he also shut down hundreds of locations and laid off thousands of workers. Pilsbury didn't even want the company after a couple of years and they sold it to Cain, senior management and investors in a leveraged buyout.

Don't get me wrong it's an achievement in itself turning a company around but it's not like he made the company into anything it wasn't before.

So how much pizza could Chris Christie eat ? And would it have to be from Godfather's.

On principal alone, I agree with his philosophy. BUT... PotUS has no control over the length of bills and it's unbelievably naive to think that complex legislation could ever fit onto a 3 page bill.

So you are telling me people read the bill before they pass it ? Never.

To be fair in the business world you can't always keep every store open if they are underperforming. Sometimes you're just in a market that didn't work out for you and you have to pull out. It doesn't make sense to hemmorage money because "it's the right thing to do". He did do more than just that as well.

It would be interesting to know if they actually analyzed the markets or just shut down the ones that weren't bringing in enough dough! ha ha!

Like I said though. It was an achievement but just not as grand a one as some would like you to think or that he did it all by his lonesome.

I'm sure Google has never bought any company... never.

Hmmm...I seem to recall a deal struck on both ends this Fall about "not baiting" and many people on all sides having to turn the other cheek at the request of the mods. So...

Please excuse my JFK Jr. suggestion. I'm just sparing Nik the hassle.

Anyway, I should probably Google the part about whether his remains were found or not. Better yet, we could Bobbsey Twin this! You know what else we should look into while we're at it...

If they reopened the inquest, we may as well debunk my Beanie Baby and Elton John theory.

Let's just set Dodi Al Fayed (sp?) aside for a minute. You have to admit, they shuttled off that merchandise pretty quick! Like, seriously! It's kind of suspicious how Elton John banged out his tribute to Diana so quickly after her death! "Goodbye Norma-Jean" to "Goodbye England's Rose"? It was done in a flash! I never understood why MI5 or Scotland Yard overlooked this!

Have you seen the Beanie Baby guy?!? Looks creepy! He had to be in cahoots with Elton John! HAD TO BE!!!

If we're going to look into either of these, you can't wear the skirt! Or better yet, do wear the skirt! I bet you can get some serious intell from the Beanie Baby guy! Like I said, he just looks WEIRD! I bet he would dig it!

AND HOW DOES MOTHER THERESA FIT INTO ALL OF THIS?!?!?

We have our work cut out for us!

I want whatever it is you are on.

I'm pretty sure there was an analysis done to determine the profitability of each store at the time and in the future. Don't expect them to give you the details though.

But what you said, I couldn't have said it better myself.

It was the franchises he closed down or let fail, depending on who you ask/read.

I would like to think he ran data analysis, but who knows. There are probably public documents/articles available but unless this has been used as a case study you probably won't find that information easily available.

There is also a difference between being an *** and running a profitable business. Sometimes things need to be cut, sold, trimmed, etc. However, I haven't read anywhere that there was no profit, just not as much as they would like to have. Specifically, the article above says sales and profits fell, but not that it wasn't profitable, just not as profitable as before. (Overall profitability, not individual stores as quoted above)

Edit: that looked confusing. Here is the quote i'm referring to
"When sales growth and profits fell, Pillsbury appointed Mr. Cain as president."

So, he returned it to profitability by muscling out franchises in order to minimize short term costs on the corporate level. So, long term profitability is still questionable.

That is the textbook definition of gutting a company.

Why? It's a great idea! One of the biggest problems with both parties is who they have to work with. Some of it is the process, for once they have clawed their way to the top of the party they're usually covered in blood.

That's why obama looked so good he hadn't DONE anything to ANYONE yet.
Hilarity has her gigantic enemies list with the "sevens". Mitt had his binder full of women. Newt is walking bomb. Biden is a punch line, Ted Cruz is a robot.... the short list for both parties looks like a police line up...

Wow how did we get on Herman Cain, we are never going to be able to fit our laws on 1 napkin.
