What does the "O" care? It's not like it's his money or he knows anything about running a business?
They're all overpaid to begin with, and their work is always late. Yet they get paid on time.

Anyone need a hammer for $500?

I will. Ask me tomorrow after Bill O'Reilly tells me what it is later tonight.

Bill O'Reilly will prolly be outraged. Sean Hannity will cry and say it is the death of the country.

Sean Hannity is going to be too busy packing his bags to really develop an opinion on this proposal.

Too bad Bill O'Reilly's great bulbous intellect didn't translate into listeners on the radio.

...and if Shawn or Sean Hannity tells me one more time about shoveling shiite at the Barnum & Bailey circus or building the great pyramids in Vegas, I' going to switch over to the angry retard Ed Schultz until I puke blood.

People should get paid based on the work they provide.
Not according to WHO the work is for.




I hope I'm not confusing anyone...

Well if you HAVE to get back on topic (I found the smack talk about radio dj's more entertaining), many of the contracts the Fed put out for bid barely paid above minimum wage- much to the chagrin of folks with an agenda who live for stories about $80 hammers and $200 toilet seat and other such mostly apocryphal or exaggerated nonsense.

Having said that I know that no-compete open contracts that waste billions paid to folks who set-up broken websites and who contract for dangerous and uneccessary arab incursions. Nothing like fighting the Taliban in a Ford leather seated RV and having your laundry done by a contractor for $10 a load. Whistle

Was referring to political talking heads but WOW that brings back memories. Grease and Howie and Opie/Anthony, etc. I think Imus went off to his ranch for kids with cancer but whatever happened to the rest of that gaggle? Disappeared in Sirius?

Wonder if any of those radio guys got Government jobs or are making minimum wage now.

Btw, in a similar vein, I'm sure Obama will raise the minimum wage (pun intended) at the State of the Union tonight & he'll probably get booed by some Repubs.
