Good morning all. I don’t have a problem with Smyrna allowing its police to take rent-a-cop jobs and to drive the cruisers to the job. Anything that promotes the visibility of the police is useful, may discourage all sorts of bad guys. The program works as a low-cost anti-crime effort, and supplements the pathetically low salaries we pay the guys. Cost-effective in the jbmlaw book. I suppose some crooked attorneys may attempt to manufacture a phony respondeat superior issue when something unfortunate happens, but we shouldn’t allow a fear of crooked attorneys to rule our lives.

As to the McKinney highway, I think total removal of the tie is inappropriate. I would respectfully suggest changing the name to “Corrupt and Bigoted Anti-Semitic Democrat Highway.” Remind us all where he came from, and what he stood for. On second thought, our friends RW and Buy Danish should invite my friend TFTT to select the name; that works, too, his pithy command of the language is what we need instead of some prolix lawyer-selected label.

Too bad for Obama, that Freakonomics wasn’t published early enough for his parents to save him the recurring problem. Then again, maybe it’s not a problem – no such thing as bad publicity? I think Paul Shanklin did a clever song parody, to the tune of La Bamba, back when Teddy Kennedy had his well-publicized difficulty recalling the name.

CDCP is a government solution in search of a problem, and it is starting to be an embarrassment; abolish it.

I’ll offer disagreement on Nardelli’s payoff. I don’t own stock at Home Depot (and after watching that Board’s performance, never will.) I don’t shop there. That’s just idiots paying idiots, no skin off my nose. Much like when Ted Turner gave all of his money to the largest corrupt organization in the world; I don’t watch any of the stations, I never had an AOL subscription, so I couldn’t care less what the mega-wealthy do. In contrast though, it is nice to remember that Mr. Sam drove an old pickup.

I plan to create trouble all day, so I may not get back; have a great weekend, all.

For those of you who missed it yesterday afternoon, somebody posted a well-received response to Filster yesterday to explain her theory about the disconnect between Democrats and Republicans, left and right, liberals and whatchyama-call-its. Whenever conservatives (so-called) preach “personal responsibility”, what I hear is “not my problem”. Amber illustrated this point nicely with a little help from Filster. Here, in its entirety, is Amber’s post from yesterday @4:40:

Filster wrote the following in his 2:04 post - “It strikes me as odd that those who express such outrage at the alleged erosion of their freedoms are undoubtedly those who have never had any such freedoms abridged.” This comment from Filster demonstrates a significant difference between the perspectives of those on the left side of the political spectrum and those on the right. The left take public policy positions to achieve a good life for all. Those on the right seem only to care about issues if and when they are directly affected by them.

For example, Reagan’s spokesperson, Jim Brady, changed his position on gun control after he was shot. Reagan’s wife became interested embryonic stem cell research after her husband was affected by Alzheimer’s. Orrin Hatch reversed his position on embryonic stem cell research after a loved one became affected with Parkinson’s. Dick Cheney, whose daughter is gay, is relatively liberal on gay-rights issues. Jim Webb, who switched from Republican to Democrat, wants to bring troops in Iraq home immediately — one of which is his son.

I’ve seen examples of this phenomenon among my own family and friends. My Republican father supported unlimited compensation for CEOs until Home Depot’s CEO eroded his stock portfolio while taking home the big paychecks. Now, Dad thinks a law should be passed. My brother was against PeachCare until he was divorced, laid-off and suddenly needed it for his children. Now he’s praying that it’ll be fully funded next year. A “governs best that governs least” friend’s mother was killed when a logging truck had an equipment failure and dropped its load into her car’s path. Now he’s lobbying for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to increase safety regulations. A staunch, “Medicaid is socialism” neighbor, now relies on Medicaid to pay for his wife’s care in a nursing home (after losing his house and life savings).

Again, those on the right must feel a direct impact before they’ll take action. Those on the left have empathy — even for people they’ve never met and are never going to meet — whether they live down the street or on the other side of the world.

If a tree falls in a forest with no one to hear it, then does it make a sound? To the left, the answer is yes. For me, this explains Filster’s confusion.

Some pretty pale stuff today. I was hoping you’d do a quick bit on this, from the Union of Concerned Scientists:

Scientists’ Report Documents ExxonMobil’s Tobacco-like Disinformation Campaign on Global Warming Science

Oil Company Spent Nearly $16 Million to Fund Skeptic Groups, Create Confusion

WASHINGTON, DC, Jan. 3–A new report from the Union of Concerned Scientists offers the most comprehensive documentation to date of how ExxonMobil has adopted the tobacco industry’s disinformation tactics, as well as some of the same organizations and personnel, to cloud the scientific understanding of climate change and delay action on the issue. According to the report, ExxonMobil has funneled nearly $16 million between 1998 and 2005 to a network of 43 advocacy organizations that seek to confuse the public on global warming science.

“ExxonMobil has manufactured uncertainty about the human causes of global warming just as tobacco companies denied their product caused lung cancer,” said Alden Meyer, the Union of Concerned Scientists’ Director of Strategy & Policy. “A modest but effective investment has allowed the oil giant to fuel doubt about global warming to delay government action just as Big Tobacco did for over 40 years.”

Hi Jim. I totally disagree with you on the rent-a-cop piece. I like seeing the cops directing traffic in and out of schools, banks, etc. They help the flow of traffic and if it helps their pocketbooks too, then so be it. I personally don’t think they (nor teachers for that matter) are compensated enough for what they do.

Now about Al Sharp-tounge, did you see the front-page picture of him, Jesse and Michael sitting at the funeral? Michael was the one I thought was most disgusting….. And Jesse holding his hand? Ugh…. The press shouldn’t have given them any photo ops.

I’m all for taking the McKinney name off everything. Those two clowns should be removed from society. But careful here….. the cry-baby liberals are going to eat you alive for going there.

I agree with you on Bob Nardelli. You make some good points about the view of corporate America. And according to the reports, Home Depot stock has declined during his tenure. I think that $210 million could have been better spent, and he should have been given a more reasonable retirement amount.

Love the ending with the excuse letter on Gasper. I had the same thought when the AJC had that picture of the lady signing a guest book right on the main page. Is Gasper going to read that book from beyond the grave or something? Give me a break…..

Trump gave the Subway Hero $10K. Was that for saving the guy who fell or was it a bribe to push Rosie in front of the next train?

The left wants to take away from others that have something for the good of the whole. The left has no respect for the individual. It’s all about the masses and the good of the village. Modern day Robin Hood libs like to stifle personal development and self-improvement, all at the expense of plundering & pillaging the results of success of others. As Speaker Pelosi and her fellow minions on the left say all the time, “Americans need to be equal”. Well why work hard to have nice things if it’s just going to be taken away and given to someone else who has less drive to succeed in life? With a few exceptions, the poor stay poor because of their habits and the rich get rich and stay rich because of theirs. Let the left raise taxes, demand companies big & small offer more and more benefits to minimum wage earners, and other lib philosophies that stifle economic growth. Sooner or later they will understand that the lower classes and minimum wage earners don’t run this nation’s economy. Then they’ll have nobody to blame but themselves.

Morning all. On the rent-a-cops, an issue on which some very intelligent and reasonable regulars and I disagree: If the officer is assigned to a particular place because superiors determine a law enforcement problem exists there, I suppose an argument can be made that the private employer is, on his own dime, fulfilling and extending a public good. But when a private citizen can “buy” a portion of the law and can then designate how it is to be used, and even I suppose who is to be arrested, I have a problem. Hire retirees or rent the cop, but not the uniform and not equipment provided by taxpayers.

It was refreshing to watch the new Congress take office yesterday with promises to enact no-brainers that should have been implemented long ago (minimum wage increase, lower prescription drug prices, ethics reform, 9/11 Commission recommendations, investigations into money stolen by military contractors, etc.).

But don’t lose heart, Georgia rednecks. While Governor Perdue and company are legislating tax cuts for each other and kicking special needs children off of Medicaid, Georgia Republican legislators are spending their precious time looking for roads to rename and ways to keep their black enemies in the news so that you won’t forget who you’re supposed to hate.

Referring to the McKinneys, Barbara wrote above that they should “be removed from society”. Great job racebaiters. Nicely done.

Bringing in the issue of how badly our law enforcement personnel (and firefighters, and teachers—-don’t get me started after seeing how Nardelli looted and plundered the HD coffers with the full aid and comfort of the morons know as the HD Board of Directors)are compensated has nothing to do with the heart of Jim’s point.

Brandon wrote that the “poor stay poor because of their habits” and “have less drive to succeed in life”. Brandon is a Dittohead who has bought into the right-wing con that the poor are lazy.

I hire cleaning ladies and lawn care workers because I’m lazy. The people who clean my hotel rooms, cook and serve my meals in restaurants, clean my clothes, empty my trash can at work, and bathe and wipe my Granddaddy’s a$$ are anything, but lazy or lack “drive to succeed in life”. The working poor wake up to an alarm clock every morning, catch the early bus, are on their feet for at least eight hours doing menial, boring jobs, have children to take care of and worry about, and they’re tired at the end of the day, the week, the month and the year. They deserve to be paid what they’re worth rather than to have their money stolen from them from the Bob Nardellis of the world.

By the way, $190 million of Nardelli’s $210 million severance package will come to him in the form of stock options. That means that he’ll pay a lower tax rate on all that income than most of us (and the working poor) since investment income is taxed at lower rates than work income. Also, the working poor have to pay payroll taxes; Nardelli doesn’t.

Two comments - first, there is a need for SOME private companies to rent law enforcement, and their cars and uniforms, if the presence is necessary for public safety (such as escorting large pieces of equipment and houses) and the department is reimbursed for their equipment. There must also be a clearly established standard that the officer, if he witnesses an action that requires an arrest, ceases to become a “rent-a-cop” and performs his sworn duties.

Secondly, and Jim, you didn’t touch on this, but what do you think Hillary Clinton must be thinking since Nancy Pelosi declared herself the most powerful woman in the country? I’ll just bet Hillary’s blood was boiling and she had a thought or two similar to “I’ll show her”. I have a feeling we may be lining up to see the ultimate cat fight.

Regarding the minimum wage,

While i think it should be set by the states and not the Congress, my question is what standard are they going to use to set it?

Will they set the minimum wage for a worker sweeping floors at the New Yory Stock Exchange or the guy sweeping floors at the megaplex in Iuka, Mississippi?

Even with in some of the larger states, what would a decent minimum wage be? Would you base it on Dallas, Texas or Pecos, Texas?

I can’t wait to see what “equal” means to these elites now in charge of congress, they might be better than the ones before or worse. I will not be holding my breath.

I say take away the McKinney name from that road. We can name it J. B. Stoner Parkway then. A great hero that knowed how to handle Those People.

As for the rent-a-cops, us people that attend the Church of Holiness pay a little from the offring on Sundays to get us out on the highway after services. I want the cops we hire to have big guns and use all the stuff our taxes pay for. And I want them able to blast away if some guy don’t stop to let us in. We run Ga. and have the right to use tax money to help us worship in the only true religion. If the libruls don’t like it they can move to a librul state.

I was telling my buddy Jim Earl I don’t know how that Nardelli fellow is going to make it without a job. $210 million just don’t go as far as it use to. Anyway, I’m a little scared about new managment at Home Depot. Some of us have been getting our spending money for years by returning lumber and other stuff we pick up on weekends. On the bright side, maybe those fellows that work there will come out of hiding now. I never see none of the people that work there around to help when it’s needed. I think they take turns putting one guy on the floor to anser customer questions while the rest go off on smoking breaks.

Well, I’m going to finish my beer run and then spend the weekend at a four-wheeler show and expo. All the good conservatives should enjoy their weekend. As for the libruls, I hope they crawl in a hole and die. Not that I wish people bad luck or nothing, but I hope they open their trailer door and find Nancy Pelousy with all her boxes ready to move in. And they better leave Sonny alone. I want him cutting Those People off Medicaid and state insurance and kicking the bums out of nursing homes. And be kind to TFTT. He’s ready to blow like Jim Ed did. And he’ll take a lot of you with him.

Yesterday’s pathetic apologetic ajc drivel written by some nonenity of a black demoNcrat GA state rep noisily braying “donkeyishly” about the fabulous state bill bravely demanding the leaching of the hated, hateful McKinney name imperiously imposed by noxious blacks/leftists on stretches of local motorway provided the racial spoils laugh of the week.

This oafish dishonest fool wilfully and utterly ignored the shameful McKinney KKKlan record of brutish thuggishness, divisiveness, racism, bigotry, corruption, discrimination, anti-semitism, arrogance, black snouts in the racial spoils trough sloganising and on and on - whilst conniving on the taxpayer dime in certain black/liberal districts.

Its divisive racial spoils like this which happily now has engendered such noble and selfless acts by concerned Republican politicians who are now simply busy doing the right thing for our state.

The McKinney crimes: criminal, moral, racial and political have undeniably manufactured an indelible human stain on the great State of Georgia. Thus just as the McKinney presence in public life has now joyously been terminated, any repugnant symbolic reminders of these worthless human stains also need to be expunged.

So its bye bye Sinthia and Billypecker McKinney. Parting sure is such sweet sorrow.

My understanding is that the “real” non-Reverend Sharptongue sleeps in an official XXXXXL New Yaaawk Fruits of Islam coffin, entombed in an exceedingly dusty crypt near YanKKKee Stadium all day, and is only fully active between dusk and dawn. The loathsome body double that slithers around noisily racebaiting all day long for cnn and wsb cameras is simply a very spiteful Sharptongue clone that was regrettably manufactured in the rather primitive Churchs Chicken laboratories to furnish any body parts that might be needed for its lamia like “mentor”.

The continuing existence of the likes of Inbred Redneck and its seemingly endless moronic ebonics squawking about stolen beer trucks and its AIDS obsessed homo lover BillyBob etc merely proves that Charlie Daniels is right … The Devil Did Go Down To Georgia.

Apparently Mr. Wooten doesn’t have any close personal friends who are police officers. My neighbor is a police Sergeant, a terrific person, and helpful to all the neighbors. He also works 3 extra jobs, at least 70 hours a week, just to pull in $50K a year. With his uniform and police car, he moonlights keeping the kids safe in the crazy morning traffic by the high school, and on Friday nights, keeps the drunks under control at a favorite local watering hole. Out of uniform, he busts his tail inspecting commercial vehicles, from which he ears a few dollars, but does a greater service to those of us who share the road with them. In 2005, he spent his vacation in Slidel, LA, policing the destroyed town so their officers could address their own broken homes and property. Maybe if he earned a decent living risking his life to keep us safe, he wouldn’t have to work 70 hours a week. But oh no! Not with Mr. Wooten’s tax money, right? UGH! expletives deleted

Al Sharptongue and Jesse Jackboot are two peas in a race-monger pod. There is nothing they can possibly do that won’t surprise me.

I sometimes question the actions and management policies of the various law enforcement agencies within Cobb County, including Cobb itself. I haven’t come across the Smyrna police, but I have had the misfortune to come across both Marietta and Kennesaw PD yahoos patrolling the streets looking for the smallest revenue enhancer… err I mean street infraction. If I paid city taxes in Smyrna, I’d get a group together and raise holy hell about my tax dollars being used for the gain of a city employee in a private venture.

Vick needs to be fired. Period.

The McKinneys are a bunch of circus side show clowns. I will never forget Billy McKinney’s reaction to Cynthia’s first congressional loss in 2002 right in front of a WSB-TV reporter: “It’s the Jews! Jews! Jews! J-E-W-S… JEWS! You’re not one of them are you?” To say these people are not racist and/or anti-Semite is laughable. I wonder how Cindy al-McKinney would have reacted to a black female capitol police officer who tried to stop her from going in? Would she have pulled the same Aunt Esther arm-flailing shenanigans? I think not.

Besides, what exactly did Cynthia al-McKinney ever do for her district? I do remember that brilliant bill she brought up that had to do with recognizing Tupac for something. Further, nobody ALIVE should have anything named after them yet, be it airports, roads, or buildings (and that goes for Republicans too). Isn’t that right KKK “Bring home the bacon” Byrd? Oh yeah, and I resided in al-McKinney’s district for two years, so yes, I have every right to speak my mind about the matter for any race-o-trolls out there.

Watching the Clinton News Network and Wolfman Blitzface overapologize wet their beds about the Osama-Obama confusion is hilarious. Besides, it was Ted “drunk U-boat commander wannabe” Kennedy that was the first to confuse the two (a lifetime of alcohol abuse shrinks the brain and makes that easy to do.. and gives you a red face and big red nose). I wonder, did the neoCommie News Network make any apologies to Scooter Libby when they prosecuted him for Plamegate when he obviously didn’t do anything (unlike say Sandy “Five finger classified document stocking stuffer discount” Berger)?

Did CNN bend over backwards when Cheney had a flashing big “X” on his face during one of his interview broadcasts? Not only no, but HELL NO. Nah, we know, the sickness of liberalism and a liberal bias in our mainstream media is purely a right-wing myth. I also wonder, did CNN, the al-Jazeera Constitution, and PMSNBC show so much euphoria and glee and multiple orgasms when Newt & Co. took over Congress in 1994? No only no, but HELL NO. Nah, there’s no liberal media bias whatsoever. The only biases are at FoxNews according to the left. That’s why there IS a liberal media bias… the liborats aren’t b!tching about everyone else being biased. Wake up and smell the sewage.

The CDC and yet another fine liberal arts “study” on risky college behaviors. Just more of your fine tax dollars being thrown down the drain of liberalism like the artsie fartsie funding. I wonder if they researched the risk of driving on metro Atlanta’s freeways? Or going to an ATM at midnight on Roswell Road? Or riding through Buckhead at midnight in a Hummer limo? Or eating at Taco Bell? Or getting your information on what’s going on in the world from Comedy Channel’s Jon Stewart ?

The Nardelli parachute is ludicrous. The only reason feel it’s ludicrous is because he didn’t improve Home Depot or increase it’s market share or stock valuation. He didn’t even improve the stores themselves. If he had’ve accomplished all that, then I wouldn’t have a problem with that pay. Then again, if he did do that, he wouldn’t be leaving either. In any event overall, the amount of the money is not what bothers me… it’s that Nardelli didn’t improve Home Depot and he still got a nice parachute.

I’m not one of those liberal quasicommies that feels myself and the government should have a say in how much someone else gets paid, be it floor sweeper or CEO. However, if you don’t produce and you still get paid obscenely, it just isn’t right. That’s the same principle as paying a window washer who does a half-assed job the same as someone else who does an exquisite job… that’s fairness for all no matter your worth like a good little neoStalinist liberal.

But it is still the right of the board of directors to do as they wish and make decisions on pay as they wish irrespective of what the government and the people in this nation thinks or does, especially those who never set foot in the store or own the stock (means a lot of flaming liberals who think a screw thread-count has something to do with dirty sheets). In short kinda like cut taxes that liborats scream about, it ain’t your damn money and never was.

Dear Mr. Wooten:

You conservatives tend to contradict yourselves somewhat in your wealth redistribution schemes. On one hand, you deny a minimum wage increase which would have long-term positive economic benefits for the US, and on the other, you lament the obscene payouts to the very ones who buy and sell the Republican Party. Big Business and Big Government are hand in glove in digging the canal between themselves and the rest of us.

Your comment, “Contracts like this incite voters against corporate America” is accurate, and well it should. One hopes that “contracts like this” and the President’s willingness to continually erode individual freedoms will incite the voters to tear down the wall which surrounds Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum, Big Buiness and Big Government.

You feint astonishment that you could possibly agree with a Democratic. Mr. Wooten, when good ideas are only a party prerogative, then it’s time to turn in your press badge. When you redistribute the wealth, Mr. Wooten, will the monies go only to conservative Republicans who think right, or will you include all of us on the other side of the canal, too?

Poor Amber, who posted some drivel yesterday to tug the heart strings of the sheep on this site! Her admirers confuse those apocryphal stories (of regret over prior opposition to government waste) with an informed evaluation of the utility of government, and thereafter deceive themselves into believing that only government is the solution. And that those of us who disagree, not only should not be allowed to disagree but also, must fund her beliefs. The national socialists don’t care what we think, they only want to take our money to fund their demands; certainly their demands would not stand up to free-market scrutiny. Free people making free decisions would excise most government programs.

“Jim’s A Distractor” @ 8:14, it would be fair to say that the left would silence all opinions contrary to the conventional wisdom? I don’t have a problem with Exxon researching or advertising alternative views, but I understand why the socialists cannot afford to have their theories subject to harsh review. It is a shame that the government funds only those who truly believe the leftist spin, but I suppose we should be used to that by now. In the meantime, I am truly grateful for global warming, whatever the cause. If it warms a few more degrees, we’ll be back where this planet was 1,000 years ago.

Markus akes a good point about the flap regarding the Nardelli parachute, retirement package, incentive or payoff.

It is too much, but it is Home Depots money. I think the lefties are upset because they think it all belongs to them. Conservatives are upset because it is excessive - overly excessive, might be why they and institutions are selling their Home Depot stocks???

Dear Diogenes @ 12:04, with all due respect, “minimum wage” legislation is not wealth redistribution; “tax and spend” is wealth redistribution. “Minimum wage” is merely introduction of government mandated inefficiency.

Additional note, to all, on the Home Depot parachute: turns out it is not a parachute at all. That is merely the unpaid balance of the contract the fools offered when they lured the guy to come to the company. Does not make the board of directors any less stupid, but it does make Nardelli a bit less evil. The noncompete is only a tiny fraction of the lurid headline.

In find Mr Wooten’s concern about the James Brown funeral quite touching. Truly, turning a funeral into an occasion for a photo-op is unseemly. It is on a par for poor taste with using a funeral to make speeches of scarcely veiled political maneuver, such as was done during the plantings of the dearly departed Nixon, St. Ronnie, and most recently, Pardoner Ford.

I remember well how upset Mr Wooten was in those instances, too, as those ghouls in suits clambered to stand and speechify on these occasions of grief and quiet contemplation.

As a citizen that pays City of Smyrna taxes and works for a local law enforcement agency as well (in a civilian capacity). I would like to say that the reason that private companies (banks, grocery stores) feel a need for the rent-a-cops is because since they are working private jobs in their jurisdiction, should something go wrong they have the ability to arrest, detain and/or investigate the issue as well as having the radio to call in for help. I love the idea that when I go to the bank on Saturday mornings I know that there is a marked unit sitting in the parking lot and a uniformed officer waiting inside. Who’s going to rob a bank or rob you in the parking lot when there’s an officer literally right there already. Pay for cops sucks and most officers that have take home cars are ON CALL due to specialized training such as the traffic/STEP units that investigate serious injury and traffic fatalities. They do have to enforce the laws as if they were at work for the city, a cop is a cop and a law is a law and they are sworn to uphold them. So I’m more than happy for my Smyrna tax dollars to help make me feel safe when I am out and I hope they keep this policy for now on.

That money belongs to underpaid employees who earned it, Home Depot stockholders who risked theirs, and working people who pay higher taxes rates to make up for the tax breaks given to Nardelli by his benefactors/whores in Washington.

Kevin @12:51, I agree with you on the stockholders part. You did however lose me on how the working people pay higher tax rates because of upper tax break cuts. You also lost me on how underpaid employees deserved that money. First, employees are paid based upon their merit. That means their worth to the company, the skills required for the job, their performance, and their ease of replacement [goes with their worth and the skills of the job]. Directing a company on what they should pay their employees is nothing less than a form of fascism. Second, those in the $25k-$65k working & middle class pay just 30% of the total IRS income taxes. How can they possibly have to shell out a higher share of taxes when those in the top 10th percentile and top 5th percentile already cough up nearly 70% of the share and 55% of the share respectively? Please explain.

Why does Wooten blithely ignore the fallout from the ghoulish behavior of the executioners of Saddam?

Perhaps it’s because he identifies with the Republicans—excuse me, Shiites—who run the Iraqi government.

Get caught on cellphone camera allowing al Sadr to use his own henchmen to hang the man who executed his father? Blame the press. Blame the people who filmed the debauchery. Arrest the leakers.

I’m curious. Are you on the record here condemning the murderous acts of the late tyrant?

Compared to the atrocities committed by Saddam, it was a petty and unseemly act of revenge but hardly a blib in the history of evil in the world.

Furthermore, you just blamed Republicans, fellow Americans who had nothing to do with the actions of Moqtada’s Mahdi Army, so you are guilty of the same offense of assigning blame that you are complaining about.

As an officer, I feel compelled to respond to some of the statements made in here by Mr. Wooten as well as some of the other posters.

On the subject of extra jobs:

Therefore, private companies do not dictate when officers take law enforcement action and when they don’t. If they tried, it could be considered obstruction of justice and result in them getting arrested.

As far as the person making the comment about officers “tipping” them off… You asked who they would answer to.. They would answer to their police department, the district attorney, and the courts for violation of their oath of office. They would be facing felony charges. It doesn’t matter if they are on-duty or off-duty, if they tip someone off illegally, it will result in the same action.

Now, the benefits that many people don’t think about:

As far as edge’s comments that we should only be allowed to take home vehicles if we are a commander or a specialized unit…

Many of our neighbors in Florida and South Carolina allow officers to run errands in their vehicles and have for years. They’ve figured out that the benefits outweigh the costs. As a result, many of these officers handle minor calls on their OWN time and save the salary that you would pay an on-duty officer for other more serious tasks.

Go the IRS website and look at the difference between income tax rates (paid on income from working) and capital gains tax rates (paid on income from investments). You’ll find your answer there.

Nardelli will pay capital gains rates on $190 million of his severance package. The rest of us have to apply the higher income tax rates to our compensation. Also remember, that Nardelli won’t have to pay 7.65 percent payroll taxes on all but four percent of his severance package. The working poor and middle class will pay 7.65 percent payroll taxes on 100 percent of our income.

Brandon — an appendum.

Poor workers, middle class workers and rich workers aren’t paid exclusively on their merit, skills and performance. That’s a myth. There are a million factors that go into where a person is financially in life, and merit, skills and performance aren’t as significant as you think. If they were, Georgia nurses would be paid $100,000 per year and Nardelli would be in the poor house.

We all know people who are where they are because of connections or family or a$$-kissing and not because of merit, skills or performance. We all also know people of integrity who work hard and do a great job, but are still struggling.

Our country, and certainly the rest of the world, is not the meritocracy that Limbaugh would have you believe.

Anyway, every job has perks. A doctor can write out a prescription to a friend at a neighborhood party, and he’s not cheapening his profession. A lawyer can provide free services or representation to his friends. A CPA or tax preparer can prepare for free, and legeally sign his friends’ tax forms. Bus drivers get to drive their school buses home.

Kevin, you have still failed to mention how the working class and lower classes are forced to pay higher taxes because of the top tier. I have not had one person show me how this happens. I can see why. Regarding your comment on merit, it is the value of your employment to your employer that determines your pay. If ten thousand people can do your job, you are easily replaced. If only one out of ten thousand people can do your job, then you are not so easily replaceable and become more valuable. Whether you are a nurse that saves lives, an airline pilot, or a top notch chef in New York City, your value to the organization is the ultimate determining factor of how much your compensation is. That’s the real world, and I don’t care what Limbaugh thinks or what leftists say. I live and work in the real world.

After the last election I have a Republican Governor, a Republican Lt. Governor, a Republican Secretary of State, two Republican Senators, and a Democrat representing me in the House.

Sounds like a net gain for my side and I even got to trade up from Cynthia McKinney to Hank Johnson in the House.

By Angela Tuck- The Atlanta Journal-Constitution- Published on: 01/06/07- Readers often ask why the newspaper cares so much about the compensation packages of local executives.

Yes, this is an excellent subject matter, a very legitimate question, we look forward to the answer:

….

.

….

.

….

.

Well?

Business reporters must be the watchdogs of corporate Atlanta

……

.

……

Nope, just like I thought, I can’t find that written in the Constitution or anywhere in the State or Federal law books.

Are you taking this private business oversight, this invasion of privacy if you will, upon yourselves as some sort of “Rent A Justice Department?”

When writing these nosey, none of your freaking business, who the F do you think you are anyway articles, do you wear white powdered wigs and black robes, wielding a gavel, much like a penny ante security guard will dress up like a cop?

It is odd that the ombudsmen of the Urinal would think these kinds of things, what with so much honesty and unbiased “news” coverage to stand watch over at her own job, I always thought you were the head up your keister, socialist reporters and the people in charge of the company were the experts who had worked their way up the ladder and answered to their respective board and government regulations for their actions.

Like Nardelli did.

And if you libs are such wunderkind in your self appointed plastic pistol and badge carrying kluster kop role why did you not find out the size of his severance package before he signed the deal?

It’s just too easy being a Monday Morning Nag, ain’t it?

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

J.Wooten, I saw the opportunistic Sharpton posing for the cameras in front of Brown’s open casket. I never saw Al standing beside Brown in his mugshots though. Just wondering why.

I’m not from Georgia and don’t know much about Billy McKinney. His daughter is a national joke. Just about every major city has a MLK Blvd. His legacy was deserving. McKinney’s is not.

By the way. Did Cynthia pose with the white beluga?

Unless you’re a crime scene photographer, nobody should be taking pictures of dead people because the dead can’t offer written consent and family has no right to do so in my opinion.

I agree with you about the police officers. As taxpayers we pay for them, their training, and their equipment. If any one of the three are damaged on their rent-a-job, who pays to replace all three? Play It Again Sam?

If you want to devalue the scientific community and the CDC, just have them render findings that any layman already knew without spending taxpayers money.

I remember a study some years ago where monkeys received blows to their heads with a hammer to determine if they suffered head trauma.

Well duh Einstiens.

No Tom, you are wrong as a typical liberal jackass. The Republicans lost because they didn’t represent true Reagan conservatives such as myself. If I wanted a bunch of liberal demoncats in Washington, I’d have voted for them. You jackals on the left think you won an election. No, the Republicans lost it, and quite frankly I’m glad. They needed a reality checkup. And if you don’t believe that, then let the Pelosicommies come along and try and shove their liberal agenda down our throats and see how long they stay in power. Clue: those voters that kicked the demoncats out of congress in 1994 are still around. Now swallow that reality pill, Tom.

Well said LuckoDoll. These jackass liberal neoStalinists are the first to b*** up a storm about cons getting into the private lives of others, but what do these pantywastes do? They get into one of the MOST private aspects of a private life: how much money someone has and/or makes. Then they use the quasi-Marxist guise of assraping the successful for the good of the working class and poor, as if rich people don’t work (kindly note these same jackals on the left keep their filthy sewers shut when it comes to Holly-woodhead pay and sports star pay and musician pay). They’re all a bunch of miserable j******* who will never be happy. I’m out to enjoy the day and blow an obscene amount of my money on me.

getalife, you are no doubt correct, but I would be willing to bet that when it is all said and done the only ones to be publically acknowledge will be athletes, rappers, and various other entertainment types. The so called christian, church going,family values touting “respectable” businessmen will get a pass just like they always do. Know why? The campaign contributions will start to fly and suddenly it will become too “politically sensitive” to mete out justice to them. It will not surprise me at all if these two “business women” who are only supplying the service sought out by these guys will ever see the inside of a jail or even have their names published.

Tom,

The Johns will give Campaign contributions to whom exactly? The Legal Aid Society?

LuckoDull,

This caught my attention -

*In October 2005, AJC reporter Matt Kempner and columnist Maria Saporta analyzed the company’s charitable giving and found that despite the generous track record established by Home Depot founders Bernie Marcus and Arthur Blank, the $35.5 million the company gave to charity in 2004 amounted to less than 1/200th of its annual sales.

Leave it to the AJC “business reporters” to base charitable giving on annual sales instead of looking at net profits - which were down.

Next, leave it to the beneficiaries of a corporations’s largesse to whine when they don’t get as much as they were accustomed to - as if it is some sort of government entitlement:

“We were hearing complaints from the community that the largess they had experienced in the past had dried up in terms of contributions and participation,” said Klibanoff. “We heard that not only from the arts, culture and philanthropy communities but also from the business community, which perhaps felt that Home Depot’s executive ladder wasn’t participating in civic endeavors at a level that was commensurate with its place in the national economy —- it’s in the Dow, it’s our biggest company by many measures, yet it was playing a shrinking role in the community.”

No good deed goes unpunished. Every donation will have to meet or exceed what Bernie Marcus and Arthur Blank gave in the past or you’ll be looked on as miserly.

By the way Tom,

Lisa Ann Taylor also goes by Melissa Wolf. It’s in the ninth paragraph of that super secret article I showed you, but I highly suspect that you can’t read for that long. Whatever you do DON’T do a google image search with your safe search feature turned off. On second thought maybe you should so you’ll better understand how she was able to sell her “services.” It’s pretty hard to see how she could get more than 5 bucks from the mugshot.

Thanks for the web site. It really illustrates how after taking a four week Christmas vacation the Democrats were able to go two whole days before going back on vacation. Well two half days really.

Yes RW. My husband and I both enjoy tormenting you right wing semi literates. We just don’t feel the need to use multiple computers and ghost surf programs. But congratulations for doing more to turn the country off of the Republican party than any other force. Cons like you gave this country back to them with your wacked out racist, bigoted, xenophobic, and fascist views. And until they send you packing this country will never take them back.
