Low Tech Election Fraud on Electronic Machines

Can you imagine having someone change your ballot after you filled it out? If they did this, long prison sentences are very appropriate for all involved. Paper, I like the paper ballots at my polling location.

Godspeed, my friend.

I hope you now have found peace Marty.

Double Header on Teacher Comp

The CSM ran a double header of articles on teacher incentive comp.

It's difficult to figure out who to reward with how much. I strongly believe in compensating everyone fairly as possible ewith available resources be it in government or business. Some folks will work just as hard no matter their compensation, but that doesn't mean they don't deserve what they are worth. I also offering everyone the same compensation can motivate some excellent folks to search for alternative employment. Bonuses are good as long as it doesn't turn out to be a game of favorites. Giving bigger raises to folks who work harder and/or deliver more is also good, again, as long as it's honest. I only have my experiences with the employee-employer relationship and am always interested in learning the stories of other folks.

Jon Stewart Gets Serious - Again


Last time, Jon took the media to task over holding politicians feet to the fire by begging for an honest public debate.

He's done it again and I think everyone should see it. (NSFW! F-word alert!)

Part 1:


Part 2:


Part 3:


Jim Cramer seems to me a financial expert desperately trying to bring financial knowledge to the masses. I Tivo'd his show for a while but the non-stop gags eventually drove me away. I agree with Stewart when he points out it is unfair to make Cramer the face of the mess we're in. But I also believe the points about most professional financial media and reporters falling down on the job are very, very valid.

Secrecy Indecency

Would someone please explain to me how a copyright treaty can be "classified in the interest of national security pursuant to Executive Order 12958"? when requested by someone utilizing the FOIA? It's a copyright treaty for crying out loud-- or is it?

Link between watching TV and Asthma

Really!

I wonder if computer/phone/personal device time has similar consequences? I expect they do.

January Unemployment at 10% in Green Bay

"We continue to have a lot of workers that have, at best, a high school education, and if they want a decent job, they have to do better," [Golembeski] said.

If that's true then we need to ensure our schools are ready to get folks trained for industries that are or soon will be growing and hiring.
