Are you from Portland Bareboards? Cause if so, there are eight of them in PDX, and one in Vancouver.

Maybe it is a West Coast thing. There's one in the next town over, in the state of Washington.
I've never eaten there. I like good pizza. You don't get good pizza from chains, I've noticed.

From this Business Week article on Cain's tenure at Godfather Pizza, it sounds like the company performed adequately. "Godfather's didn't go out of business; neither did it become a major combatant in the pizza wars." However, his success in rising to prominence within the Burger King organization seems more concrete and more under his control: "His region went in three years from the least profitable for Burger King to the most profitable."


Anyway, it still seems fair to say that if liberalism had successfully trained him to blame others for his problems and reject careerism, he would probably still be living in the impoverished environment of his youth.

Am I the only one who thinks Cain would be better off as a liberal complaining about how life's not fair?

"His mother was a cleaning woman and his father, who was raised on a farm, was a chauffeur... Under Cain's leadership, his region went in three years from the least profitable for Burger King to the most profitable. This prompted Pillsbury to appoint him President and CEO of another subsidiary, Godfather's Pizza. Aiming to cut costs, Cain over a 14-month period reduced the company from 911 stores down to 420. As a result of his efforts, Godfather's Pizza finally became profitable.

That's a pretty slanted synopsis, at least as far as Godfather's goes. They used to be a huge chain, producing top quality pizza at a top price. Now, there are two left in my town...they apparently cannot even pay an amateur web designer to put together a functional webpage (their page is a nightmare to navigate through), and it takes over an hour (and probably an extra call or two) to get a pizza delivered. At the rate they're going, they'll be direct competitors of Ceci's or Pizza Kitchen in another couple of years, if they're around at all.

I think I'd put it more that he made them profitable in the short term, buy gutting the business and selling of anything of value...just like any corporate raider or Wall street banker. No great surprise that he supports them, he -is- one of them.

Haven't seen Rocky or the godfather. I'm practically president material.

Warburton playing the straight man, WTF?
Also I've never seen the Godfather.

That would be me, my friend. An I dotter and a T crosser. My little accountant soul shines through it all....

In reply to this comment by Peckinpaw:
^^Yo bareboards2-These dot the I's and cross the T's types...gotta watch out for em-!

YAY! Rewarding self linking people who can't be bothered to read the huge warnings that you have to click through in order to sift your first vid! Great news for the sift. How noble!

There was nothing autocratic about it. Someone called *ban and someone else *banned.

What if it is was a friend of the York? Who was chatting with his/hir buddy, said it got booted, and thought he would do a solid?
I just checked the rules. Doesn't say anything about friends posting friends videos.
"The video is associated with your account on the video host (i.e., you uploaded it to YouTube, Google Video, etc.).
You played any role, no matter how large or small, in any aspect of the production of the video.
You are in any way responsible for or involved in marketing, promoting, or any other manner of proliferating the video.
You could receive any form of compensation (monetary or otherwise) as a result of the submission or subsequent views.
You are somehow represented in the content of the video (whether photographically, artistically, audibly, or metaphorically) without the approval of a site administrator."
Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. Of course, I am a complete noob on the whole banning thing -- perhaps being autocratic really is best for the Sift.
I went and looked at the YouTube comments -- certainly this guy is a complete asswipe with a crap personality, based on his response to the banning. So maybe you are right. It's interesting that his first two comments were deleted -- I don't know by whom.
The whole thing fascinates me. I am such a noob....

It was the same video posted from the same YT account by a new VS account created within hours of the first account here being banned for the same exact sift.
Things that don't go in it's favor:
Zero comments. Posting a sift instantly upon account creation. No votes for any sifts (including their own).
That video has 96 views on youtube. What do you think the odds are of two different people doing the exact same thing with new VS accounts on the same fucking video that has such little views (and most of them probably coming from VS)?
