This just in: my local school district gives 15 days sick time per year. It can roll over, up to 210 days.

So, if you use the 4 more normally given, in 19 years you have the max 'saved'. Then when you retire with 20 years you get 1/3 pay for your sick time, a bonus that at 60K would be over $16K.

I wonder what took him so long to figure out that he had this option.

Now both sides are orchestrating recall votes on an unprecedented scale.

"Formal recall campaigns have now been launched against 16 state senators - eight Republicans and eight Democrats. That's everyone in the 33-member Wisconsin Senate who is legally eligible to be recalled this year."

They could sell tickets to this circus.

Lol!

But in Ohio, it's going down. Looks like we might beat WI to it.

Btw, anyone see Hucksterbe on Rose? I only caught a bit of it. He said, the reason public unions were intolerable was, there is no competition, where in the private market competition keeps things from getting out of hand.

I just hope this leads to an all out class war.

I would have no trouble watching a reality show of the rich and famous houses burning. We could call it, Backdraft, The Wall Street Edition.

There is some truth to this assertion IMHO. OTOH, now that Huckabee has said it, it has been summarily discredited.

If it all goes South, who do you think will be afforded protection?

It's poor slobs like you and I who will be burned out.

Personally, I expect to see WWIII within the next 10 years. Lotta hate in this world, and it's gettin' worse by the minute.

And with that cheerful thought, I think I'll just get drunk and be somebody.
