AMENDMENT: Would bar diversion of state employee deductions.
It will be up to voters to determine if the state should be prevented from doing something it's already not supposed to do.
""What this question boils down to is do you think that the money paid by employees and employers for worker benefit funds such as unemployment and disability should be used only for that purpose or do you think the governor and Legislature should be able to use those funds if they are needed elsewhere.''

Joe, from Toms River, thanks for a GREAT laugh on "Topic 'A,'" today. I was just making the turn off of County Road 571 (Manchester Township), onto Commonwealth Boulevard, in front of the Country Farms convenience store, when you congratulated Bob on getting his name on the WOBM building(The Bob Levy Broadcast Center). In a truly snarky, sarcastic vein, you asked Bob IF he ever got into a scandalous situation, did he think management would ever remove it?
Immediately, I knew you were making an analogy to the Ritacco Center, I only wonder HOW many, out there, caught it, too? I know it went right over Bob's head, but then, MOST THINGS DO!!!

My sincere condolences to the family of Bob LaTorre. For many years, Mr. LaTorre hosted a daily (Monday thru Friday) thirty minute call-in talk show on the Channel 8channel, the Adelphia Cable TV channel (now Comcast). Bob Levy and Bob LaTorre were EXTREME counterparts: "Topic 'A'" was VERY Liberal, and Mr. LaTorre's show ("In-Sight") was VERY conservative. I don't mean this to be derogatory or disrespectful, but I considered "In-Sight" to be the funniest show on television, without a laughtrack. Once, Mr. LaTorre (who was kind of short and heavy-set) crashed thru the director's chair he always sat in, and disappeared from view on live TV.
I ROARED WITH LAUGHTER!!! Stuff like THAT was ALWAYS happening on "In-Sight." Bob, I was laughing, but I was laughing WITH you!!! R.I.P.

Bill - in all fairness, I do think Bob knew that I was making a reference to Ritacco.

Also, gotta give Bob props for sticking up for me when some guy called in taking exception to my description of Snooki as a "depraved pig". The guy was somehow trying to compare what I said to what Nazis called Jews! Some lightweight who thinks that my calling a spade a spade is worse than the actual actions of the person who deserves the harsh label of "depraved pig".

Hey Obama, we got the KEYS back!!

You may think you have the keys. But you are still DWI. You stay on the side of the road and sip your slurpee.

BLACK MAN IN WHITE HOUSE said...

Are you saying that I have a tail? That could be a racial comment.But, thats not my tail. Also, why are you so interested in what is betweem my legs. Sounds like you have size issues.

BLACK MAN IN WHITE HOUSE said...

Do you get all your talking points from palin? Talk about a loser and a quitter. Just following your lead genius. Sorry I can't write such elegant prose as "whoot whoot" or "douche bag" But that's your game chris. Even when you win. You cannot be gracious in victory. So typical of a gop puppet. You are the one who can't debate the issues. Too blinded by the fog of religion. I pity the man who has NO TRUE TRUST in his faith.
