Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for April 14, 2014

So much for the complexities of women’s fashion, Cathy (I wonder if men can claim purchasing business suits so they can run a proper meeting?!). Actually, if I am right, certain required clothing can be tax deductible… ;)

not funny, not amusing, not even enough to make you think. this comic is a waste of ink (computer ink that is)

Make EOE Department a policing organization. Give them legal authority to fine severely violations of the Civil Rights Act on discriminating women and minorities in the workplace such as promotions, sexual abuse and other areas. Look up EOE records on federal agencies as evidence for expanding access of these groups in private sector.

That’s true, ORMouseworks. Required work uniforms may be deductible. Cathy’s suits and dresses, however, do not fall under the definition of “uniform.”

Sorry, Cathy, but you choose to overspend on your wardrobe. Thankfully, only one more day of the tax theme (I hope!).Good morning, Cathy clan! So happy – I am done being on my neighborhood’s HOA board! One thing (almost) off my to-do list…

I’ll be happy when this tax theme is over and the unknown lady is right. A woman can mix and match to make several different outfits. And unlike most women, I don’t need a ton of shoes.

Hello, Cathy clan!

Put America to Work1.Balance Trade legislation. For example, China would not permit auto industries to export cars. Demanded cars be manufactured in China. Such arrangements led to the trade deficit with China and other countries. Good video is the Arrow Shirt CEO said he cried with American workers because he had to move operations to China to have company survive.2.Dirty Word – Trade tariffs. Both parties have never discussed this means to protect American jobs and industries. Moreover, tariffs would be a new income source for the American government.In 1971, after the Spiro Agnew scandal, the big newspapers were out for Nixon. His White House Communications Director, Herb Cline, developed a PR plan to recruit small weekly newspapers, “Grassroots Media) for support. Robert Griffin, the second most important Republican during the Nixon years, recruited my father, Valley Journal, Freeland, Michigan. There is only one stop light.My father’s best editorial was read by Griffin on Congressional Record. It was about my college graduation. It talked about the American family and their hopes for a better America, a better world. Like one of his readers said, your Dad knows about America.You must touch the heart of the people. You must make them believe you know how to bring a better America, a better world. That is what wins elections.

My first week at Navy OCS was a foreign land of technology. I was a newspaper man among a bunch of engineers who knew what was going on. I was waiting for someone to tap me on the shoulder and tell I was not supposed to be there.In Navigation, I was called up and told the commanding officer wanted me in his office. I thought I was gone.“Normally, we have no visitors, but Admiral Kaiser requested that his friend, your father, visit this evening”My father told that he had arranged for to be stationed at Washington DC.NO. When the dream sheets came out, I volunteered for Vietnam.Cookie Bob. His mom sent cookies to him. He said, “Are you crazy? Everybody does not want to go to Vietnam. You don’t have to.”I wanted freedom.I went to the Fleet, heading to Vietnam, beyond my father’s reach.

Baby Generation is the new minority of the Civil Right Issues. Job protection will be hot issue for this largest voting block. Moreover, because of the need for employment to supplement social security is growing. Thus, there is the need for civil right protection in this area. Because of the shortfalls of Medicare, seniors face financial meltdown, caused by illness. Reasonable priced housing is a hot issue for this group.

Thinking of you, Susan Newman, during Passover. I hope you are okay. From your friends here at Cathy

Nice try, Cathy. Better luck NEXT time!!!!!

Hi, rgcviper!

Hello and Happy Monday, fellow “Cathy” fans. Hope everyone had a really nice day today.

By going to Vietnam, I found the freedom to find somebody who love me unconditionally. Despite not speaking each other language, I found someone who was just happy being with me. She did not try to change me. She deserved the Cinderella wedding with Naval Officers crossing swords as she entered into marriage.She gave me two bright children. I did not have any grand plans for them. They blazed their trail in life. They are happy people.We are an old couple, 40 years together. She wanted to see the gardens in Victoria. She is a lover of flowers. She grows everything. I said why not go up in a train. I like trains. Yes, I have seen the world as a sailor. But womanizers are not tourists. I will smile and tried not to be cheap.I just want her to be happy. She deserves for living with such a grumpy bear.

[Sigh] That is all.

HI, MOM. Thanks for the pics … especially the one of Homer. My favorite TV show.

Greetings, Clan.
