Same sort of scams here in the U.K. If a Member of Parliament, (M.P.), gets voted out we give him full salary for the next three years to tide him over the period of getting a new job. These folks normally have a couple of Directorships under their belts as well as being full-time, (ha ha), M.P.'s. So, you lose your job 'cos you're incompetent and we pay you full salary for 3 years to make life a bit easier ? Not means tested etc. You didn't do the job "full time" because you were holding down some Directorships, that paid handsomely and you probably claimed secretarial etc allowances when your wife/kids "worked" for you.  I sure wish I had worked for me, the taxpayer. Politicians generally become politicians for two reasons : power and to make a difference. In all too many cases that difference is primarily to their own finances. Same the world over, incl the old Communist Russia and China.  No no no, have to stop before the Rant Monster comes to visit. "Thank you nurse, a cup of cocoa would be nice and, perhaps, a chocolate biscuit ?"

Replying to: dtownfb (Dec 29, 2008 7:31 pm) The Dodge dealer within Harrisburg closed, as did the Ford dealer. A Chevrolet dealer in the western suburbs also closed. None of those dealers were replaced, or merged with another dealer. The Buick dealer in Harrisburg merged with the Pontiac-GMC dealer, and now the Buick dealership building is occupied by...a Kia franchise. The times are a changin'...

Replying to: grbeck (Jan 06, 2009 9:20 am) Dude, where did all the dealerships go?? Good question about the flag. The US flag is flying from the senior position (right) so that's right. Ordinarily the presidential flag would wave from the junior position (left). But it's probably set up for a visiting dignitary to ride in the presidential limo with the visiting country's flag occupying the junior position. Or maybe it is Wagoner's personal flag? |
