California is broke. So says the news. So says Governor Ahnold, and the banks say they will continue to accept California' IOU'S for about another week. Then what happens? Here all my life I thought I could actually own beach front property in Arizona when California succumbed to the "Big Earthquake." Now it looks like they can offer tours to a ghost town. So much for my vacation property, now I may have to move to South Carolina.
I have a partial solution to California's money woes. The Los Angeles Unified School District pays almost $10 million a year to about 160 teachers and staff who are not allowed to do any work. You would think they worked for the state, (I think not working to get paid is a requisite to be a state worker.) No, these are teachers and staff that are subject to discipline but whose ponderous "due process" and appeals take years to carry out.
Case in point; Mathew Kim was fired by the school board in 2002 for allegedly sexually harassing students and colleagues, and is still receiving his $68,000 a year, including benefits. Because of the fuck wad assbite stupid bitches union contract interpretation he cannot be called on to perform clerical or other non-"professional" duties during the appeals.
We bitch, moan and complain about big government spending and paying too much for pork butts (who wants pork butts?) Look around people, look at your state and tell yourself we will make it out of this recession. I think I may move to a desert island. By myself!

I heard on the news tonight that the Wall Street guy who stole billions will start serving his 150 year sentence in a cushy prison in North Carolina. He will be your neighbor, probably. I don't know what that has to do with the Ahnold state or your ravings about their school teachers, but it isn't any worse. :)

All is not lost yet. Word on the streets of Youngstown have it that Lex Luthor, the world's greatest criminal mind, has perfected his plan to sink California into the ocean. Buy all the Arizona desert you can get your hands on.
Boy did I mess up my life leading my boring, crimeless life. I guess crime does pay.
Gah.
a desert island? can i come with you?
Take all superheroes and throw them in jail. They made me believe that good triumphs over evil. Why can't people be good and rich?!
Maybe I should become a teacher..
Max, I know we are getting Madoff here in Butner. Small town but it is by no means a cushy prison. He will love the six rows of razor wire as scenery.
lotgk, I think I will not wait on Lex Luther. He has done nothing for me lately.
Quirkyloon, I think it is sad that people like that are protected by Unions. Unions are a topic that make me sick. Nuff said.
Nooter, of course you can. Do you know how much fun you will have terrorizing the monkeys?
Order Soma Online, something about power and greed go hand in hand with money. I would not know since I have neither.
Unions had their place but now, in most cases, it's gone way too far!
Well, I didn't want to mention the town, or the fact you've found a new job as head matron at the prison. But I do know any prison where he is able to look out and see razor wire isn't dark and deep enough for him.
Ahhh yes, another reason I packed up my parents, kids and grandkidlets (with assorted pets) and escaped to the midwest. Southern California is Hell's own basement.
