This job seems somewhat less than mindless ...

My dad still maintains contacts within the gov't so he gets heads up on job opportunities and the such ... anyway, he just forwarded me this job opening:

8. SAIC - Entry-Level National Security Analyst
The Special Weapons Programs and Analysis Division (the Nuclear and WMD Planning and Response Department) of SAIC and its parent organizations support the U.S. Government examining critical issues affecting U.S. national security. From offices in McLean, Virginia, our organization conducts a broad range of sponsored and independent research. Current projects under DoD contracts involve analysis of programs and problems related to U.S. nuclear weapons, counter-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD), strategic planning for U.S. national security, including policies, plans and technical training for emergency response to terrorist activities as a part of homeland security, and the political, economic, operational and technical aspects of U.S. and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) decisions concerning nuclear weapons. We believe that we have a vibrant organization making significant contributions to national defense. SAIC is an equal-employment opportunity, employee-owned, multi-discipline, international corporation of 40,000 plus employees, with annual revenues of more than six billion dollars. Approximately fifty percent of SAIC's business is conducted with the Federal Government, and approximately thirty percent supports the Department of Defense (DoD).

Seems interesting enough ... not exactly my field, but I figured that maybe I can play up my economics degree, policy/history classes, and submit my resume for the hell of it

I wonder if I'd have to resign as vice-president ...

Of course ... this means working for the gov't, intrusive, inefficient bastards

Posted by DaveSZ on Nov-26-2003 00:42:

Isn't it a bit of a step down from the Vice Presidency? Well, you don't want to put yourself under too much stress with your heart condition and all...

It was only a matter of time until we started seeing postings about your "job" status and "job" opportunities.

Are we really supposed to be surprised that you "might" consider working for the government?

Let's see if I can beat you to the punch on your "possibilities" for career positions. Stop me if I'm getting a little far ahead...


First you apply for Entry-Level National Security Analyst,
then comes, say, Senior Level NSA,
then, oh I don't know, say, National Security Advisor,
and then you'll probably tell us that somehow, someway, YOU'RE THE FREAKIN' VICE PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!

Fess up, man. You, by chance, currently working for Halliburton, aren't you? I saw the way you defended them in that Dean Economic thread!

Happy Early Turkey Day Dick!

LOL you sniffed it out. The only thing stopping me from absolute tyranny is the lie detector and background checks into my somewhat less than ... exemplary ... past


Posted by Yoepus on Nov-26-2003 18:25:

oh you didn't mention that.. don't you know that any western intelligence service won't hire shady characters these days... damn now that we know your a freaking criminal you'll never be able to provide us with valuable life saving information... damn man haven't you heard of don't ask don't tell??


and yes the French sux - even with their namesake mustard.

Come on, he's the vice president already. Obviously his shady past was not that much of a setback in his career advancement.

I don't know...I kinda liked their mustard. Haven't tried the zionist one, though, so I really can't say which is better.

It was funny to see how so-called "patriots" started boycotting French's mustard even though it's a US brand and manufactured in the US. :P

So basically the job entails looking at and reporting false information to the public, and trying to get everyone in such a state that they won't even go outside their house without a shotgun and chemical suit and mask. Then you'll attempt to take away their civil liberties slowly but surely and be seduced by such small benefits as a 401K plan, a 25 year retirement plan, and a mediocre retirement pay. Then you'll undoubtedly subject yourself to all the normal propaganda and spread the word, and get this. Actually truely believe it and prepare for the next "terrorist" attack with "WMD". Hell you might even get a chance to make it where we'd end up having martial law when the "terrorist threat" gets to high and we think we need large weapons and soldiers in the streets enforcing curfews and whatnot. Shit, you'll be part of the history books just like the SS.


Take it!

Ahhh sarcasm ... I know how to combat that.

No actually the job would entail," analysis of programs and problems related to U.S. nuclear weapons, counter-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD), strategic planning for U.S. national security, including policies, plans and technical training for emergency response to terrorist activities as a part of homeland security, and the political, economic, operational and technical aspects of U.S. and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) decisions concerning nuclear weapons." I must have missed the part about shot guns and chemical weapons suits ...

Who is they? Who is we? Are we still talking about this private company that is not in any way directly associated with the NSA other than government contracts? Are you speaking of the latest medicare reform bill that was endoresed by the aarp?

Oh really? Just like the SS? So who are the substitutes for the SA? What compromise was rendered to the wehrmacht? How was Hindenberg appeased? I'm anxiously awaiting some kind of historicaly reference/correlation to 1933 so please let me know!!!

Bah ... I'm thanksgiging drunk!
