I edited the posts for obvious reasons. The fact that they are Catholic, Black, Orange, Midgets, Jewish, Fat, Women, or NFL Team owners shouldn't matter.
That being said, I feel for you. It sucks, but if you're going to lose a job, you're in the perfect time to get a new one. The economy is turning around; come January 1st, department budgets are renewed and everyone's looking to hire after the 1st of the year. You should be able to line up quite a few interviews.
