    1 percent pay hike for federal workers, troops

    You need to be a Federal Employee in a foreign nation. Then the Obama aid to your Country (no matter which Country it is) will be FAR more than the 1% he will be giving you. It still boggles my mind how we can borrow billions, to give the exact same money away for NOTHING. There are strings...

    NPR - Miss Represents Facts - No Really

    Most of the media these days for some reason leans to the left. Some are radical to the far left. It is what it is. There is very little fair and balanced news that just tell the news without putting their own spin on things. In fact, the media and our government would love for us to believe...

    Plate scanners.......a step too far....?

    While everybody is busy complaining about NSA, controversal collection of data is right in your own backyard. While locally they "claim" your data will not be kept for an extended period of time, any data transferred to the Feds may be kept as long as the Feds see fit. But, when you use your...

    Repealing Common Core? Already??!!

    The dust still hasn't settlement from the Feds and the State trying to jam Common Core in where things usually don't fit. And this is like a triangle trying to fit in a square. Or was the intent of Common Core just another way of reinventing the wheel? But, it left more questions...

    Smow storm named Pax

    A storm named after our base might be an omen for us. Time will tell whether or not it will be a good omen, or bad.

    Nice restaurants?

    If you go to the Ruby Tuesday chain, be careful of their regular glasses. Their beer glasses are fine. But, the regular glasses have a horizonal seam that when you pick up the glass from the top two thirds, it has an established record of breaking in half. I watched as this happened to a...

    School Closings

    I was in a meeting with Dr. Martirano, Superintendent of St. Mary's Schools yesterday. He said St. Mary's, as in many Counties have already used up their snow days. However, St. Mary's will very likely be closed Thursday. And since this may last in to Friday, with a separate storm Friday... so...

    Parents Need to do Their Part So Teachers Can Do

    Teachers don't like the core curriculum. They are forced in to it. It sounds like she is sending you the "guidelines" to show you what she is forced to do. She probably agrees that 7 and 8 year old shouldn't be working on such abstract concepts. I know I don't. And I taught calculus in High...

    Nbc may have made its biggest blunder yet

    I suspect Jay Leno will be picked up by FOX. Give them a few months to negoiate the contract. After all, several other networks have a late night comedian. Why wouldn't FOX get in to it? If you think about it, FOX is also getting heavier involved with sports with its new Sports program. So, I...

    Parents Need to do Their Part So Teachers Can Do

    But, many of your teachers find time and time again they are used more as a baby sitter than an educator. Some parents don't take time for their own kids. So, they can't wait to drop them off to the teachers. But, there are many good, loving, caring parents out there. But, they seem to be...
