I'm so sorry. I fucked up bad. I made a series of mistakes that resulted in my incapacitation, mistakes I shouldn't have made on a raid night, especially not with my shitty attendance in these past two weeks.

It’s the largest city audit of stimulus dollars to date, and the results aren’t pretty:
CITY CONTROLLER RELEASES AUDITS OF HOW LOS ANGELES HAS USED FEDERAL STIMULUS MONEY
$111 Million in ARRA Funds Has Only Created 55 Jobs So Far
Continuing her efforts to ensure that taxpayer money is spent efficiently and effectively, City Controller Wendy Greuel released two audits today of how the City of Los Angeles has used American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funds. The audits looked at the how the two departments that have received the largest amount of ARRA funding so far – the Department of Transportation (LADOT) and the Department of Public Works (DPW) – have used those funds and how many jobs were created. Los Angeles becomes the largest City in America to conduct an audit of how ARRA funds have been expended.
DPW has received $70.65 million and created or retained 45.46 jobs, though they are expected to create 238 jobs overall (the fraction of a job created or retained correlates to the number of actual hours works). LADOT has been awarded $40.8 million and created or retained 9 jobs, though they are expected to create 26 jobs overall. Overall, the Departments have received $111 million in federal stimulus funds out of the $594 million the City has been awarded so far and created or retained 54.46 jobs.
$111 million for 55 jobs. That’s $2 million per job.
Even if you look at the number of jobs they expect to create (“or save”), it’s only 264. $111 million for 264 jobs is about $420,454 per job.
Hey, can you guys create a 56th job for me? I could use $2 million.
Failing that, can you return my tax dollars that you wasted?
UPDATE: Thanks to Instapundit for the link, and congratulations to Drew for getting his comment quoted!

| FRIDAY ULTRAPUG 9/24 @ 6:30 PM || ICC25, 11/12 Hardmodes |

This is a Casual/WLPH hosted 25 Man Heroic ICC25/Normal RS25(If there's time) weekly raid.
This is a HEROIC MODE clearing group, you will be expected to know the fights, have strong DPS, and have the awareness to not die to stupid stuff all night.
Invites start at 6:00, run starts around 6:30. If you are late or afk, don't expect your spot will be held. We may still need you, but if your spot has been filled, too bad. We aren't going to sit there and wait for you to log in or get on the right character.
IF YOU SUDDENLY CAN'T GO, DON'T EDIT YOUR POST, REPLY TO THE THREAD AGAIN OR I PROBABLY WON'T SEE IT AND WILL BERATE YOU MERCILESSLY NEXT WEEK.
This run uses a Tally Loot system, the tallies do NOT carry over between instances. IE: Loot is reset between ICC and Halion. Fuckups are a tally. (Dying to beams, dying to slime, getting hit by ghosts, killing MCs, etc)
OFFSPEC IS PRIORITIZED. What this means is that our offtanks who normally dps but tank fights like Putricide or hybrid DPS who heal for Valithera/HM Sind will get their offspec loot before people who don't. This has no effect on mainspec loot.
If this is your first week here, you can't roll on 277 trinkets or tokens, everything else is perfectly fine to roll on.
LOOT WILL NOT BE LIMITED TO ARMOR LEVEL, EXCEPT FOR BOE ITEMS. BOE ITEMS ARE MAINSPEC ONLY.
First come, first serve, best skilled get the slots. I do armory people, I do check dps logs where applicable. Your 232/245 gear is not acceptable here, most people in this run are half 277, some are nearing BiS.
If you are not pulling your weight, you will be removed and replaced with someone better. You are raiding with some of the best players on the server in this run on their alts, you are expected to play well here.

Marrowgar
Deathwhisper
Gunship

So who's gonna give it a shot? If so let's at least pick the same server, since it's fun to bullshit with you all.
If no one has a server to consider, I suggest Bodhum.
