Any Friday off is a Good Friday in my book! ;)

I've been riding the unlimited OT train pretty hard the last few weeks, but that ends this week. As of Saturday, it'll be 35 days in a row that I've worked at least a couple of hours. Sure will miss those large paychecks, but it'll also be nice to have actual days off.

Today is Thursday, March 29, the 88th day of 2018. There are 277 days left in the year.
Today's Highlight in History:
On March 29, 1943, World War II rationing of meat, fats and cheese began, limiting consumers to store purchases of an average of about two pounds a week for beef, pork, lamb and mutton using a coupon system. (The Associated Press noted, "From the customer viewpoint, the unrationed oasis of food will be the restaurant or other public eating place.")
On this date:
In 1638, Swedish colonists settled in present-day Delaware.
In 1790, the tenth president of the United States, John Tyler, was born in Charles City County, Virginia.
In 1792, Sweden's King Gustav III died, nearly two weeks after he had been shot and mortally wounded by an assassin during a masquerade party.
In 1867, Britain's Parliament passed, and Queen Victoria signed, the British North America Act creating the Dominion of Canada, which came into being the following July.
In 1912, British explorer Robert Falcon Scott, his doomed expedition stranded in an Antarctic blizzard after failing to be the first to reach the South Pole, wrote the last words of his journal: "For Gods sake look after our people."
In 1936, German Chancellor Adolf Hitler claimed overwhelming victory in a plebiscite on his policies.
In 1951, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were convicted in New York of conspiracy to commit espionage for the Soviet Union. (They were executed in June 1953.) The Rodgers and Hammerstein musical "The King and I" opened on Broadway.
In 1962, Jack Paar hosted NBC's "Tonight" show for the final time. (Johnny Carson debuted as host the following October.)
In 1971, Army Lt. William L. Calley Jr. was convicted of murdering 22 Vietnamese civilians in the 1968 My Lai (mee ly) massacre. (Calley ended up serving three years under house arrest.) A jury in Los Angeles recommended the death penalty for Charles Manson and three female followers for the 1969 Tate-La Bianca murders. (The sentences were later commuted.)
In 1973, the last United States combat troops left South Vietnam, ending America's direct military involvement in the Vietnam War.
In 1984, under cover of early morning darkness, the Baltimore Colts football team left its home city of three decades and moved to Indianapolis.
In 1992, Democratic presidential front-runner Bill Clinton acknowledged experimenting with marijuana "a time or two" while attending Oxford University, adding, "I didn't inhale and I didn't try it again."

Ten years ago: Anti-American Shiite militia leader Muqtada al-Sadr (mook-TAH'-duh ahl SAH'-dur) ordered his followers to defy orders from the Iraqi government to surrender their weapons. Zimbabweans voted in an election seen as the biggest test of Robert Mugabe's 28-year rule. (Opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai (SVAHNG'-ur-eye) claimed victory, but the Election Commission ordered a runoff; Mugabe claimed victory in that contest, which was widely denounced as a sham.)

Five years ago: President Barack Obama promoted a plan to create construction and other jobs by attracting private money to help rebuild roads, bridges and other public works projects during a visit to a Miami port that was undergoing $2 billion in upgrades paid for with government and private dollars.

One year ago: Britain filed for divorce from the European Union as Prime Minister Theresa May sent a six-page letter to EU Council President Donald Tusk. Thirteen people were killed when a small church bus collided with a pickup truck on a two-lane road about 75 miles west of San Antonio. (The driver of the pickup has pleaded not guilty to intoxication manslaughter and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon causing serious bodily injury.) Two former aides to New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie were sentenced to prison for creating a colossal traffic jam at the George Washington Bridge for political revenge, a scandal that sank Christie's White House hopes.

I was seated on a jury once and will say it was interesting to see the legal system operate up close.  Luckily after the morning testimony the perp changed his plea to guilty, and we got to leave at lunch.  But as excuses to miss work go it beats the stomach flu.

I agree.  I would be happy to do the service.  But the being put on hold for a week then if called in, sitting in that room for a whole day....maybe getting called to sit....then in my case being dismissed every time because the lawyers (defense) don't want a person with my profile.

This was just for petit jury.  One week on hold, one call in during that time and done.  (trial if paneled could last longer).

two months ago I call the county about a large pothole in the road in front of my driveway, they said they would send someone to take a look at it. I come home from kayaking and a contractor is paving the road. milled it last week. now that's service.

quit kayaking after a few idiot boaters who don't understand no wake zone about swamped me. one of them got stopped by Fish & Wildlife.

two months ago I call the county about a large pothole in the road in front of my driveway, they said they would send someone to take a look at it. I come home from kayaking and a contractor is paving the road. milled it last week. now that's service.
So your suave style and sweet talking isn't reserved for the ladies....
Who says the bureaucrats he's dealing with aren't ladies?
Good point.  Dean just can't stand seeing a hole go unfilled.
you guys are rough.
equiptment must have broken down, paver hasn't moved since I got in the driveway and the tackcoat truck had to fire up his burners again. I know there are 6 trucks lined up with material on them waiting. if the wait much longer the loads will be too cold to use.
That paragraph is so ripe with opportunity I don't know where to start.
Lol, it would take a scientist to break down all the jokeable parts there.
Also, 6 trucks? How big is this friggin' hole?!?

Nope.  "analysts compared the 50 states across the three tax types that make up state tax burden — property taxes, individual income taxes, and sales and excise taxes — as a percentage of total personal income in the state."

NJ is combined 6.6% (8th highest), Texas with combined state tax of 8.2 % (6.3 state, average 1.9% local), #4 highest is Washington with combined state tax of 9.2 %  (6.5% state plus average local of 2.7%)

Louisiana is highest at 10%  ( 5% state, average local 5%)
Tax burden comparison requires inclusion of income and property taxes along with sales tax. Unsurprisingly, commie states over-representative in the top 25%. 
https://wallethub.com/edu/states-with-highest-lowest-tax-burden/20494/#methodology (https://wallethub.com/edu/states-with-highest-lowest-tax-burden/20494/#methodology)
Agreed, but these numbers were only state and local sales tax.  My guess is that if these states have this high a sales tax, property and income taxes would be parallel.
Bottom line is in either case, we're gettin' raped.
Nope.  "analysts compared the 50 states across the three tax types that make up state tax burden — property taxes, individual income taxes, and sales and excise taxes — as a percentage of total personal income in the state."
Though, on this one, Dave is right. #7 is high enough on the scale we can put it in "rape" territory.

If that's the case, sounds like we need to recognize Texas as our newest commie state. ;)
At #34?  Careful, Mr. #13.
#34 by your list, #2 by Dave's. Truth is, I think TX is probably the least-commie like state we have, if there is such a thing, FormerlyTXDave's whining about people from CA invading notwithstanding.
I would put Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Arizona, Oklahoma, Dakota's come to mind.
AZ could be put near the top of that list, based solely on that crazy-ass former sheriff they have out there.

That crazy-ass sheriff represented the sentiments of his constituents well.  Lot of people in Arizona believe that convicted criminals and illegal immigrants aren't entitled to the "blessings of liberty" the rest of us pay for.  That's not such a crazy notion, come to think of it.

To answer the original question, you already know what he's done, but I understand that from your point of view, you don't think any of it was despicable, you just think he was Making America Great Again before that was a thing.

That crazy-ass sheriff represented the sentiments of his constituents well.  Lot of people in Arizona believe that convicted criminals and illegal immigrants aren't entitled to the "blessings of liberty" the rest of us pay for.  That's not such a crazy notion, come to think of it.
He must've represented them well, since they voted him out in 2016. Now THERE'S a notion that's not crazy.

Well, politicians need to be changed like dirty diapers and all that. But they voted him in for 24 years. It was only when he started the birther bullshit that people voted him out. That what gets you riled at him? The birther thing?
The birther thing just makes him look stupid. And I don't get riled at him, because he didn't represent me. The things he did were despicable, but we have enough bullshit going on closer to us for me to worry about a has-been sheriff who thinks it's still 1875.
I reserve the word "despicable" for crimes like taking bribes or genocide.

What despicable things did he do, in your opinion?
Think he's gone for the day.  Hold that thought for tomorrow.
He was, but he's back online from home to do some OT.

To answer the original question, you already know what he's done, but I understand that from your point of view, you don't think any of it was despicable, you just think he was Making America Great Again before that was a thing. And that's fine, but there's no need rehashing what we are already aware of.
You presume way too much, Dave.  I know a number of things he's done, some I object to, and some I don't.  But I asked you a question.  Are you afraid to answer it?  What is it YOU find so despicable?

I'm starting my weekend now. The inaugural release by Hendrik Kelner, Jr., "Smoking Jacket" is the first cigar created in his newly opened Kelner Boutique Factory. And so far, I prefer it to his dad's blends.

NJ is combined 6.6% (8th highest), Texas with combined state tax of 8.2 % (6.3 state, average 1.9% local), #4 highest is Washington with combined state tax of 9.2 %  (6.5% state plus average local of 2.7%)

Louisiana is highest at 10%  ( 5% state, average local 5%)
If that's the case, sounds like we need to recognize Texas as our newest commie state. ;)
At #34?  Careful, Mr. #13.
#34 by your list, #2 by Dave's. Truth is, I think TX is probably the least-commie like state we have, if there is such a thing, FormerlyTXDave's whining about people from CA invading notwithstanding.

Nothing. I think he's a great American, and hope that if he gets elected to the Senate, he finally blows open the birther story once and for all.

Not that fancy. Definitely less fancy than a Davidoff. I like it. Very nutty.

I think he objects to the idea that countries the US has borders and the right to enforce them. Just a guess.
