It depends on the employee. Elected officials, sure, cut their pay. Emergency workers...no, I don't think cops and firemen should take paycuts. Period.

Cue Ben Shapiro naming Nolan the new "most overrated director."

When I was in college, my School of Ed. peers would come back from their student teaching appalled at finding "rubber rooms" at the schools they were placed in. But try to bring it up to anyone who's been in the system for a few years, and they act like you are accusing them personally of molesting kids instead of pointing out a flaw in the system. But yeah, they're there for the kids, right?

Nice, I like it.

Really looking forward to this!

Love ya, Larry! Even though I don't get to listen live, I do podcast them. Shout out to the Chat Pack! :)

I agree. At least in Phantom Menace, Jar Jar didn't bother me. In fact, it was a nice break from the thoroughly unbelievable Anakin/Padme romance.

Thank you so much for featuring this! My blood STILL boils when I think of it!

This is what I was thinking while watching "Leatherheads" last night. Hollywood has officially abandoned the notion of the honorable soldier, even in a movie that supposed to be "about football," they decide to take down a Sergeant York-straw man.

"Are these industries gouging the customer? No. They are trying to stay in business."

The same is true of most companies today - particularly insurance companies. Insurance is one of the most highly-regulated industries in the country, and consequently it is also one of the most expensive. Regulation ALWAYS means higher prices. Always.
