The federal government reported Friday that on average, its employees are underpaid by 26.3 percent compared with similar non-federal jobs, a 'pay gap' that increased by about 2 percentage points over last year while federal salary rates were frozen.
Got that, Mitt Romney, and all the other Republican talkingpoint-bots who like to scapegoat public employees?
It's all just a diversion tactic--to get people to focus on what's NOT important and to forget what IS: the increasing income gap in this country, the over-weaning power of corporations, and unemployment.

I thought I would watch the debate last night merely for its entertainment value, given how entertaining the Republican candidates have been of late.
However, it was so incredibly boring that I couldn't hang in long enough to watch the Rick Perry black-out live.
I wonder what it would be like to add George W. Bush to the mix. I imagine memory is being too kind and that given a podium on those stages he would fit right in.

I could have watched the debate live online, but I just read live blogs during the debate. Then, of course, the most entertaining snippets were broadcast immediately after the debate, so I guess I didn't miss much, either.
