None of George Bush's offspring is more his father's son than George W.
Bush. George Jr., or "Shrub" as Molly Ivins refers to him, began his own
Texas oil career in the mid-1970s when he formed Bush Exploration. Like
the business dealings of his brothers, George's company was not a
success, and it was rescued in 1983 by another oil company, Spectrum 7,
run by several staunch and well-heeled Reagan-Bush supporters. But by
mid-1986, a soft oil market found Spectrum also near bankruptcy.

Many oil companies went belly-up during that time. But Spectrum had one
asset the others lacked -- the son of the vice-president. Rescue came in
1986 in the form of Harken Energy, just in the nick of time. Harken
absorbed Spectrum, and, in the process, Junior got $600,000 worth of
Harken stock in return for his Spectrum shares. He also won a lucrative
consulting contract and stock options. In all, the deal would put well
over $1 million in his pocket over the next few years -- even though
Harken itself lost millions.

Harken Energy was formed in 1973 by two oilmen who would benefit from a
successful covert effort to destabilize Australia's Labor Party
government (which had attempted to shut out foreign oil exploration). A
decade later, Harken was sold to a new investment group headed by New
York attorney Alan G. Quasha, a partner in the firm of Quasha, Wessely &
Schneider. Quasha's father, a powerful attorney in the Philippines, had
been a staunch supporter of then-president Ferdinand Marcos. William
Quasha had also given legal advice to two top officials of the notorious
Nugan Hand Bank in Australia, a CIA operation.

After the sale of Harken Energy in 1983, Alan Quasha became a director
and chairman of the board. Under Quasha, Harken suddenly absorbed
Junior's struggling Spectrum 7 in 1986. The merger immediately opened a
financial horn of plenty and reversed Junior's fortunes. But like his
brother Jeb, Junior seemed unconcerned about the characters who were
becoming his benefactors. Harken's $25 million stock offering in 1987,
for example, was underwritten by a Little Rock, Arkansas, brokerage
house, Stephens, Inc., which placed the Harken stock offering with the
London subsidiary of Union Bank -- a bank that had surfaced in the
scandal that resulted in the downfall of the Australian Labor government
in 1976 and, later, in the Nugan Hand Bank scandal. (It was also Union
Bank, according to congressional hearings on international money
laundering, that helped the now-notorious Bank of Credit and Commerce
International skirt Panamanian money-laundering laws by flying cash out
of the country in private jets, and that was used by Ferdinand Marcos to
stash 325 tons of Philippine gold around the world.)

If any of these associations raised questions in the mind of George
Bush, Jr., he had little incentive to voice them. Besides getting Harken
stock through the deal, Junior was paid $80,000 a year as a consultant
(until 1989, when his wages were increased to $120,000; recently they
were reduced to $45,000). He was also allowed to borrow $180,375 from
the company at very low interest rates. In 1989 and 1990, according to
the company's Securities and Exchange Commission filing, Harken's board
"forgave" $341,000 in loans to its executives. In addition, Junior took
advantage of the company's ultraliberal executive stock purchase plan,
which allowed him to buy Harken stock at 40 percent below market value.

Such lavish executive compensation would suggest a company doing quite
well indeed. But in reality, Harken had little going for itself. One
Wall Street analyst called Harken's web of insider stock deals and
mounting debt "a lot of jiggery-pokery." Harken was not making money and
could not have continued into 1990 without at least some means of
convincing lenders and investors that the company would soon find a lot
of oil.

Why don't you give us a short story about "why" this person wants only
this one size can. You say it's none of our business, but it sure would
make understanding your requests a whole lot easier!

There is no simple questions with Julie. On the surface they look simple
enough. She originally posted about the problem finding pears in small
cans because someone has issues with other sizes. For a normal person,
the problem is easily solved by opening a larger can and using
containers. Most of us have enough experience with the attention whore
that is the Bove to realize that was just the opening salvo for the
reasons that reasonable solutions could not possibly work.

I said I knew that other sizes were available. I did not look to see if
those sizes were on the shelf because I wasn't going to buy them. I did buy
some of the little plastic cups but they did not get eaten. I just found it
odd that the stores I have checked so far had all other form of fruit in
that size can but no pears. I had not thought of what Doris pointed out.
That pears are not in season and perhaps they have run out of that size can.
Actually *my* pears should probably be ripe sooner than normal with all this
heat. But they are very undersized and haven't gotten decent water so they
might not make for good eating.

Like I said... I did not check to see if those sizes were in stock as I did
not want to buy them.

Little cans of pears do not need refrigeration. I can keep most of them out
in the garage. Cottage cheese in this house is also eaten plain or with
other things. Not just pears.

So? If one container is eaten per day, then those would be gone in less
than two weeks. If I buy them elsewhere, I am paying anywhere from 60 to 90
cents more per container. This one is a no brainer.

It makes perfect sense. Just because it keeps for a couple of years,
doesn't mean that somebody wants to can a ton of it and keep a ton of it. I
would presume they would can what they know they can sell. You just want to
argue.

Yes they sell them but they are expensive. And years ago we could get more
things in small cans. I well remember traveling with little cans of kidney
beans. They are still available but I think Walmart is the only place
around here that sells them. I do not buy that size for use at home because
I do eat a lot of beans and I know that what I put in the fridge will be
eaten in a day or two or I can just use the beans to top dinner salads. But
they are handy for traveling because there is no waste. Just open the can,
drain and eat.

I do buy some small cans of green beans, corn and peas but not many and
generally only when they are on sale.

That's what they always do. They don't have the answer so they try to make

No. I asked a seemingly simple question. The reason why I want this size
is glaringly obvious to me. And you of all people are one I am not giving
any more information to. You just love to take the pot shots. Done now.
I'm going to QFC. Maybe I'll find them there.

Really? Who would have thunk it? Perhaps we are friends with the poster?...would that make our advice more valid?

Well, then, why should we even bother to ask? It's maybe not
available to them and she couldn't get it anyway. Let's ask someone
in Hoboken if the cans are available there -- that makes more sense.

Don't ask me to explain her thought process. I know from personal
experience that if it's not in the distribution center, they can't
order it. Period. Sure we can submit a request, but it will be an
exercise in frustration. I posted a link for pears in 8.5 oz cans.

Bove must be so proud!! A whining, wheedling, self-absorbed,
narcissistic, simple-minded "princess" who complains about nearly every
aspect of her life and throws toddler tantrums when she can't get her
way. What a lovely presentation . . . . NOT!!

Yes, and notice when she's missing for a few days that some of these people
don't know what to do with themselves, so they start threads about her or
talk about her in their posts. Laughable.

Yes, and even when she's not posting, someone will invariably start a thread
so they can attack her. It boggles the mind, what sad little characters.

Yep. There must be a global conspiracy solely directed towards bove and
her family. Everyone is in collusion to corner the market on 8.5-oz
cans of pears throughout the Universe of Bothell just to deprive its
'princess' her convenience.

I've been buying them up by the caseload to feed the cat stealing raccoons.
Hence, the shortage.

It's only common sense to ask the store about their stock, isn't it?
Bove has often stated that she can't be bothered to ask any employee at
any store/vendor/etc. such a simple question because she doesn't want to
speak 'customer service', regardless if it's by telephone or in person.
Bove always has multiple, pathetic excuses why she "can't do this,
won't do that" . . . ad nauseum. At least that's the impression bove
frequently provides here in RFC. Oh, poor bove . . . queue the violin
music!

Bove's inane and asinine posts do provide some degree of entertainment,
albeit nearly always idiotic.

Just imagine bove laying flat on the floor, holding her breath and
banging her hands and heels on the floor just like a little spoiled brat
because the 'princess' didn't what she wanted? When this happens, bove
has to resort with the inelegant reply, "Shut up." Such a charming,
mental image of 'princess', heh!

as I said, I've always had my requests filled. I understand about the
warehouse. How much effort is it to drop a note off at the customer
service desk? Surely that should be the first thing you do.

Do you see the subject line? I thought perhaps someone might have heard of
a canned pear shortage. There was a canned pumpkin shortage a couple of
years ago.

I do know that I can buy them online but that is an obscene price and I will
do without before I pay that.

As I said... There were SEMs at the stores that normally carry them. So
there would be no need for a special request because the SEM means it is a
regularly carried item. Now it may well be that there is more to this story
than I know or that anyone at store level would know because these stores
are swapping things out like mad after the buyout. One day there was an
Albertsons, two days later it was a Haggen. Little warning to the employees
either. So they don't even know what is going on. I will try Winco when I
go there which probably won't be till next week.
