Candidaturas espontâneas

Face à recusa do Governo em atribuir aumentos aos funcionários públicos com vencimentos superiores a 1000€, pelo segundo ano consecutivo, aguarda-se agora a candidatura em massa, por parte de centenas de milhar daqueles nossos bravos servidores públicos, a lugares nas empresas privadas, onde, como é do conhecimento geral, não há - nem pode por lei haver - despedimentos, os horários são reduzidos, os dias de férias sempre mais de 22, os vencimentos são altíssimos, as promoções automáticas, etc.

A bem da Nação!
"In North America the black bear was seen by [Samuel] Hearne swimming for hours with widely open mouth, thus catching, like a whale, insects in the water. Even in so extreme a case as this, if the supply of insects were constant, and if better adapted competitors did not already exist in the country, I can see no difficulty in a race of bears being rendered, by natural selection, more and more aquatic in their structure and habits, with larger and larger mouths, till a creature was produced as monstrous as a whale."
