this politician took 30 friends to Israel for 7 days to accomplish what work for her tax payers that elected her back home,nothing.its a vacation.she could have visited most of europe in 7 days instead she waited until she thought it was cool to nail the taxpayers back home for an all expenses paid vacation w/her friends to one small country.why don't she visit africa where genocide is taking place everyday or visit new orleans and the surrounding area to help w/the mess junior bush left behind.no screw the taxpayers again,7 days in israel,its a vacation,don't be fooled,vacation folks.

12 months vs 9 months,yea put them back to 9 months because too much school time will hurt them.look american children are being passed by every other countries school system because education is year round.face it folks your kids are dumb,just ask them 3 or 4 general questions tonight about the world and get ready for some really dumb answers.most don't know the 50 states,most think africa is a country,most can't make change for a twenty dollar bill even when the register tells them the amount,and 99 out of 100 don't know the 3 branches of our government,yet this woman wants her dummies to go to school less because her's are so smart. people lets face it we all love our kids but education in this country is now a business not the learning institution it once was it is purely a business where the teachers and their unions have all of the say,stand up for your children and give them the best to compete with the best.this downward trend in educating our children did not happen overnight it has taken years to get this bad and if your children have to stay in school and learn well remember they have to support themselves someday so why not give them a great education to start with and give them a summer break like spring break and Christmas break.i would have expected the kids to gripe a little but for the mom to be complaining proves she is a knucklehead.someone please buy this lawsuit nut a tivo so her kids can see all of the tv they missed while they were in school.lets give our kids a chance at a great life,quit saying average is good enough.

what a joke vegas construction is,so much for hiring so called union workers because of the so called quality of the work.these union workers must be from the bottom of the barrel to have installed 15 floors incorrectly.yet they are not being held accountable.what a joke,these union workers have no self pride or they would admit they are not qualified to carry a union card.can't blame this one on non union workers. so much for their business agents to,everyone involved should give back what they were paid since they did not do their job,lowlifes.

how many made more then $100,000 last year,yea poor firefighters. If they have a problem w/their jobs and the wages paid then shut up and go get a real job.Just make the decision and close a few stations and fire some of them,unemployment might change their minds.these public,yes taxpayer paid public employees run around calling themselves heros and demand overtime,yes demand overtime based on seniority have really given us all a clearer picture of how nice their compensation package really is and its too much,let them pay for their health insurance.and cut back on paid days off and cell phone misuse.they are not heros they are just lucky people who knew the right people to get the job and its lush benefits.the only hero i ever knew jumped on a grenade and saved the rest of us,he was a hero not these self proclaimed heros.real heros don't call themselves heros,most are no longer w/us.save millions,cut the jobs now,they have no say or position,end this power they think they have now.

mccain is the last guy to mention here,this guy has gone out of his way to extract sympathy from all of us based on his story telling of his time as a pow.first his daddy was an admiral,second he has told more stories about how he was treated then all of the other pows from vietnam combined.real men,real soldiers don't talk about their experiences in public,some don't even talk to their wives about their experiences,mccain has spent his life talking about how bad he had it.we should not lower ourselves to torturing our captives and then complain when it happens to one of ours,we're better then that as a nation.semper fi

One thing that employees in the education business,yes it is a business and yes they are employees,never want to discuss while they are complaining about their dire working conditions on a daily basis is their income and benefits.They want us to believe they are sacrificing themselves for the good of mankind, however their main goal is to extract as much money from taxpayers as possible.The students are the secondary issue,their income is priority one.And their income is what is bankrupting our education system,especially for people who do not work year round.Let them leave there are plenty more to take their place,if they need to actually fill those jobs in the first place,most could not hack it in the private sector,not enough days off for them in the private sector,plus they might have to actually put in a full days work.

the mayor should be worrying about all of the defective work being done at the city center project and not worry about the president of the usa.peoples(tourist)lives may be in danger as a result of all of the failed steel inspections on this casino where several construction workers died yet i haven't heard or read one word from this mayor with regard to any of that. and yes mayor corporations who fly to wash,dc and ask for billions of dollars should not be visiting vegas or going to the superbowl,where is your brain.
