Always strive to learn something useful. --Sophocles

"[Obama] wants to hire more government workers. He says we need more firemen, more policemen, more teachers. Did he not get the message?"
—Mitt Romney

This just boggles the mind. Our education sucks, unless you have the $$$ to send your kids to exclusive private schools for grades K-18. Fire departments are being consolidated, resulting in poorer service, police departments have been chronically underfunded for ages. These are fundamental public services that more than 99% of the country cannot afford to buy for themselves. But I guess that's not the RNC's problem.

I so fervently hope that they get a real nasty slap upside the head in November and get thoroughly refudiated across the country.

"Jerry Thomas" worked for the Newark Liberty International Airport, supervised 30 security guards whose duties included inspecting trucks on the tarmac, and had access to all areas of the building. Unfortunately this Jerry Thomas was also a convicted criminal who was killed in NYC in 1992.

He probably got away with it because he was using the ID for nine years before 9/11, so he was already trusted. But the question to me is: how was a convicted criminal able to get a job as a security guard, then supervisor, at an airport?
