    minimum wage police work...firefighting...

    What is most likely to happen is the city is going to file bankruptcy, but in the state of PA cities can't file bankruptcy so the state will take over. The state is controlled by one of the most anti tax governors out there so the taxes wont go up but they will have to sell off the cities assets...

    minimum wage police work...firefighting...

    The mayor isn't getting paid. The problem is the city has $130,000 to last the rest of the year and they have a loan due now that they can't pay. The mayor has put forth multiple plans from selling assets to raising taxes but the city council either votes no or doesn't even vote on the plans...

    Sit down with my landlords...OOH DRAMA

    I have learned a lot from this experience like the case search website that I now use with everybody new I deal with to see what I am getting myself into. My old landlord now has 54 cases on there most in the last 10 years. I wish I can buy but a cheap condo is about 10 times what I make in a year.

    Sit down with my landlords...OOH DRAMA

    I have been in touch with 2 Lawyers the city and county landlord/tenant affairs offices (the county can't do much but the city is fully behind me and my roommate) and looking to get a lawyer to represent me since the lawyers I have been dealing with are no longer practicing in the area (they...

    Newsflash: Jim Demint is a dick

    Have you noticed over the last few years McCain has been saying we need to go to war with whatever country that is pushing against the US, but at the same time is pushing for lower benefits for the military.

    Obama tonight

    Rendell's (the former Governor) plan was to throw money at Philly that was raised by raising the car registration fee and making all the interstates toll roads. Needless to say the rest of the state didn't go for it but it did get him re-elected because he was able to carry Philly by a huge margin.

    Obama tonight

    Well at least some of the bridges and roads along the Susquehanna will be fixed now that they are destroyed. PA's problem is they had a governor that didn't want to fix anything unless it was in Philly, now they have a governor who only wants to help his cronies.

    And right-wingers wonder why

    The funny thing is according to the CNN article its cut taxes to the wealthy so they can hire more people, hmm sounds like trickle down economics to me. So the repubs won't vote for it just because Obama came up with it.

    Are you at NIST? The building I was working at evacuated for about 10 minutes but now nobody is doing any work like a bunch of slackers.

    medical examiner confused...

    They did more in a small town not far from my hometown most of the police force is being prosecuted (the police chief is being held with out bail) for covering up a hate crime (illegal immigrant was beaten to death by a bunch of teenagers). Than again the FBI and DOJ are all over the area due to...

    yo nerd herd/brain trust! should I worry about this?

    Most of Walter Reed is moving to Bethesda Naval Med. I should know since I deal with the road work in front of Bethesda and see the work on the hospital grounds on a daily basis. It's not a soft target.

    Define "pornography" b*tch.

    The one thing that I find funny about this whole freak out about sharia law is because of the part of the constitution they DON'T like (the whole freedom of religion thing) it will never happen in this country. I saw somewhere there was a group of Muslim investors trying to put in a shopping...

    The solution to global warming is here

    idiocracy in full effect here. It still amazes me (I know it shouldn't by now) how stupid some people are when it comes to science. Then again he probably thinks that there is no climate change.

    To hell with 'professional' jobs

    I work for an odd company the owners are ultra conservative, the setup for my department is office style but almost everybody is in t-shirts and jeans or more casual (I have worn board shorts and flip-flops). If you asked any of my coworkers if they wanted to be doing something else instead of...

    Official commuter thread

    Thanks for the info. Where I work there is no showers so all i have for freshening up is wet ones and applying deodorant, which does get rid of the smell. I think I'll just have to stop and lose some layers, there are a few spots that I can and not lose time if I time the lights right, at...

    Official commuter thread

    This is my first spring riding to work how do you seasoned commuters deal with the temp change that happens this time of year? Do you strip layers off (hard for me to do because I don't like stopping), dress for the warmer temps and deal with the chill, or do you dress for the colder temps and...

    ```April Fools GMT LOL```

    I have a coworker/friend who likes to pull little harmless pranks on me all the time. So this morning before he got in I changed his desktop to a screen shot of a BSOD, hid his icons and task bar and reversed his mouse buttons. He shows up logs into his computer and all he sees is the BSOD does...

    It's finally spring. What are you looking to buy?

    Getting a Surly Cross-Check to use as a commuter. Unfortunately my mtb doesn't get used enough to justify upgrades (hoping that changes back to the way it used to be but not counting on it). My road bike is in need of some parts but not sure what I want to do with it since I plan on getting...
