Though not perfect, this small town school district at least honored its veterans properly with a district-wide assembly, which was open to the community.

I ...The government pay article is startling to me. I had to check my pay first to see where I stood, but I'm still not quite in that bracket yet..assuming they are talking about pay and not "total compensation." The article mentions physicians and defense department personnell but doesn't say what any other jobs or job titles are or where they are located. <br /><br />The article is not very good with details at all. It says civilian counterparts make less. Except there aren't civilian counterparts for a lot of jobs (like mine). And it depends on where you are working too. A prosecutor in Los Angeles making $170K is making less than half of what he would working for a private law firm. In other states, however, that would be far better than local lawfirms.Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15285043747501470199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-47900921318072924932010-11-12T14:27:37.143-06:002010-11-12T14:27:37.143-06:00Jim “Beam Me up” Traficant was my favorite Democra...Jim “Beam Me up” Traficant was my favorite Democrat. I would have voted for him just for the entertainment value.<br /><br />I really don’t understand why people think that Palin quitting the governorship is such a negative. Time has shown it to be a wise decision to my way of thinking. The Dems would have had a field day bringing up false charge after false charge, which they were ramping up to do. That would have been bad for Alaska and a nuisance for Palin.

Even the MSM drones were going after him about his loss of clout and the resulting loss of U.S. influence on the international scene and Obama was none too happy about being asked tough questions. <br /><br />Incidentally, in the same press conference, he said he planned to cut the deficit in HALF by 2014.
