Suggest legal,nonviolent yet creative ways to drive out the Bushies with Civil Service protection.

[Ken Burch]

They can't be fired, but there have to be ways, within the bounds of the law and (mostly)good taste to make them er, DECIDE to mosey on along.

Get innovative here.

Nobody will likely get the chance to do these things, but there have to be some ideas we can dream about.

If nothing else, you can get in touch with your inner "OFFICE SPACE" character and device various methods.

1. A friend asked this.

If they attempt to follow wrong policies they fail, and eventually they're out.

And depending on the agency, some/many will just be unhappy with the 'ambience.'

[Radical Activist]

2. Drive them out of what?

Are you assuming that Bush tries to stay in office?

[TheWraith]

3. No, he's talking about Bush loyalists hired in civil service jobs.

Not being political appointees, you can't just fire them because of their political opinions.

[Lasher]

10. A point of clarification, if I may:

We're talking about burrowing. The administration has so far converted at least 20 positions from Schedule C, the categorization of presidential appointees, to the permanent civil service.

That way these individuals don't have to worry about the annoyances associated with actually qualifying for civil service positions. They were merely appointed as political operatives, and now they are morphing into civil servants before our very eyes.

4. Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow on an endless loop as the elevator music. nt

[Ken Burch]

7. Keep hassling them about not chipping in to the office coffee fund.

Also, introduce "Casual Vegetarian Potluck Fridays".

[LiberalFighter]

11. Block all feed from FOX on tvs in the building. Prohibit Limbaugh radio in building.

Just a thought.

[Ken Burch]

18. And, if they try to bring up right wing websites on their office computers

Use a variant of "Ricking" and rig it so they always end up with "Democracy Now!"

[LiberalFighter]

21. Or to get them into trouble have it set up so it brings up porn and then fire their ass.

[Swamp Rat]

5. 24 hour surveillance.

They are bound to fuck up at some point in time.

[Ken Burch]

6. Keep taking the cherry-red stapler off their desks

And use their office for storage.

[LiberalFighter]

13. Let's see now. What could be done?

Disable their phone. Change the height of their chair for a week. Empty their stapler every 3 days. Use one of those Annoy-a-tron gizmo.

Put pictures of Obama in their cubicle. Then put pictures of Hitler in their cubicle.

[Ken Burch]

17. You forgot the pictures of Bill Ayers and Saul Alinsky.

And a Koran autographed by Obama's dad.

[TrogL]

8. Fire them for cause

If the top down policy is such-and-such and they do everything in their power to defy that policy, their ass is grass.

[Lasher]

9. Reorganize.

Then it's, 'Oops, whoda thunk it. Your position doesn't exist in the new departmental structure. Buh bye!' It's done all the time in the private sector.

[LiberalFighter]

12. Considering that they probably don't have much seniority...

And Republicans are all for reduced government...

Do like General Motors does to their workers to make them more efficient.

Either add work from the job(s) eliminated to those kept or outsource it.

[pipi_k]

14. Forget it!!!!

Legal, nonviolent, and within the bounds of mostly good taste?


You've just taken away all my fun!


wahhhhhhhh

:cry:

[Ken Burch]

19. I said "Mostly good taste"

There's some wiggle room in there if you know where to look.

[SwampG8r]

15. window seats

they call it in japan
it is a job of so little consequence that no one wants it
inventory manager of office supplies something along those lines

[leftofthedial]

16. RICO prosecutions

"enemy combatant" status

[rvablue]

20. Keith said last night that the reason the Justice Dept lawyer in Pittsburgh

is holding out is so that Holder will have to fire her and then the Bush people can say, "Look! See! The Obama administration is doing political firings, too."

I can't remember the details, but she was responsible for hiring that blond Monica chick that was involved in the Justice Dept. firing scandal.

Their dirty tricks to avoid responsibility for any of their fuck-ups never ends............
