  • Now that "Sandy" has hit, I wonder how this will effect the election? If I had no power or worse yet no home to go to, I don't think voting would be on the top of my list of things to do..

    CJW, who're you calling dirtbag?

    Those statistics came from sde.idaho.gov That's Tom Luna's department. If it came from a visionary like Tom, it's gotta be valid.

    Union thuggery?

    My grandma was a teacher, and I didn't see her display any thuggish behavior.

    Well, maybe one time when I hit her in the head with a stick of kindling that I had thrown through her kitchen window.

    You're using a broad brush.

  • Bazookaman,

    I totally agree, we need to fire them all and start over. Unfortunately we have too many people who will vote party line no matter what.
