Thurs Sept 16: Mid-Term Times of a Civil Servant

Its been a pretty scary lead up to this November's Midterms. I must say there are some folks who have a good

On the 408 yesterday after reading the news

chance of being real live US Congressmen and US Senators. I have already spoke about that US Senate candidate Joe Miller who wants to end Social Security and UC Benefits. So its good to see a Democrat take charge and call out the folks who would protect Wall Street and the folks making OVER 250,000. Oh yea remove health care and shut down the goverment to achieve THAT goal.
Here is a REAL Democrat who is not a wimp. Meet Alan Grayson Congressman from Florida. Lets get real and lets fight for our beliefs.

We got some far-right folks that are go far over that some Republicans are not pleased. We got the newest far-right tea bagger Christine O'Donnell who is now the US Senate Candidate for the state of Delaware. Even Karl Rove questioned her qualifications. He later of course did back down under the FOX and Tea Park blitzkrieg and now is calling O'Donnell a good candidate
Meanwhile Jon Stewart comments on the Mid-Terms in his own way. He calls MSNBC lightweights in slanted news compared to the mighty FOX Republican network.
In other political news, there is a growing push to cut public sector benefits and pensions all across the good ole USA. New Jersey seems to be leading the way with a 50% in increase in retirements. I have heard that many state employees will leave in Jan 2010 after our LAST contracted pay increase kicks in in the month of November.

On this wet night and early am, it seems that the way its gonna be.
