They nailed a public-payroll janitor for sleeping on the job. The guy got canned, and fined. Good. But I wonder when the elected dipshits in places like Albany and Washington DC will start receiving the same treatment for essentially the same infraction. I don't begrudge people a work week that starts on Tuesday afternoon and ends on Thursday morning, except when you and I are paying their fucking $174,000-a-year salaries.


As Will Rogers is supposed to have said, "Be thankful we're not getting all the government we're paying for." Personally, I'd consider it an improvement if legislators took our money and then--like the janitor--did nothing but sleep, get high, and watch television.
