oh really??!! is this a challenge?

i think i know a button or two. but you are too dear in my heart for me to even try.

now... why is dev mad at me. she is only paying me .78 per yer dollar. hmmph!

Daniel

I guess I better offer full cups of beer and whiskey chasers to keep you sweet. Maybe a bowl of pretzels and nuts too.

what's with the beer, pretzels and nuts. i prefer some wine and cheese. we are meeting at Napa aren't we?

Daniel

I can't remember!

I will select some fine cheeses and the finest wines known to humanity.

millionaires do not do beer & nuts.

'zactly what I am saying. see my deares rkl? dev is with the program. she is still in the running to be one of my assistants(but still at .78 cents per dollar).

Daniel

can't remeber???? oh man. i was going to hireyou and dev as assistants. but if yer memory is going, we will have to find you a more suitable employment.

of course we are meeting at napa. that is where the civilized folk meet.

Daniel

are you flying me up on the lear jet or the gulfstream?

we will go gulfstream. lear jet just had a mishap and i do not want to risk loosing any of you.

Obvs she has less than stellar tastes & therefore would make a bad assistant. I already have the champers chilling for you, Daniel.

blah blah blah blah your source stinks but mine are golden blah blah blah

um,

LOL...Again, you miss the point. I've posted plenty of pieces from what are traditionally right leaning think tanks. The issue is whether the source you get your info has a reputation for reporting accuracy. You can do better.

this story has actually been reporting widely in other sources - I read it somewhere (either the IBD or the New York Times) but I found it also in the National Review (right wing but not known for being hacks)

Maybe I should just say 'all' his women employees are underpaid. Seemed to work for your earlier, with no source needed!

The topic was wine and cheese, Steven. Get with the program....

And my contribution because otherwise I'll say something nasty to someone who treats most people with condescension:

National Men's rate. Well, since I am coatal, it has to be specific to coatal men's rate. also, since we will be working in Napa, that is a premium.

So, wait. Is the topic what Obama pays his female staff members, or is the topic something new? I don't understand how someone can hijack a thread that the OP has hijacked themselves.....

A watchdog group called LegiStorm posts online the salaries for Capitol Hill staffers. "We have no political affiliations and no political purpose except to make the workings of Congress as transparent as possible," its website explains. Parsing LegiStorm's official data, gleaned from the Secretary of the Senate, offers a fascinating glimpse at pay equity in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body.

The most recent statistics are for the half-year from October 1, 2007 to March 31, 2008, excluding interns and focusing on full-time personnel. For someone who worked only until, say, last February 29, extrapolating up to six months' service simplifies this analysis. Doubling these half-year figures illustrates how a year's worth of Senate employees' paychecks should look.

Based on these calculations, Obama's 28 male staffers divided among themselves total payroll expenditures of $1,523,120. Thus, Obama's average male employee earned $54,397.

Obama's 30 female employees split $1,354,580 among themselves, or $45,152, on average.

We all know California is full of those blasted liberals so you will receive the most liberal Senator ever's rate. Which is LESS.

yes, but for being there only 3/4 of the time, it is fair.
