Dept. of Education Rewards Incompetence Just Like the IRS

Oh it's so fun and easy to poke fun at government and its bureaucracies.

Hopefully all of you have heard about the IRS agents that didn't pay their taxes that received bonuses. How about the Department of Education employee that gives advise on student loans that self admittedly made mistakes on her student loans?

The stupidity of this is astounding. Nicole Callahan released an article named "4 Mistakes I Made With My Student Loans and How You Can Avoid Them." This is not advise from someone in the public sector but someone that works for the government. Her position? Digital Engagement Strategist at the Department of Education’s Office of Federal Student Aid.

Yes. She openly admits she made mistakes on her student loans and yet gets a job related to student aid. What could go wrong?

So what were her four mistakes?

I should have kept track of what I was borrowing
I should have made interest payments while I was still in school
I should have kept my loan servicer in the loop
I should have figured out what my monthly loan payments were going to be BEFORE I went into repayment

Half of her problems were "I didn't do simple Math."

However she is only a "Digital Engagement Strategist" and hence she is just more web designerish right? (Don't let Obamacare roll out affect you judgement of government web technology experts) Let's blog-search her name.

Oh no!

So there may be a bit of advice coming from Nicole on about 120 articles? And how does she describe herself in the 4 mistakes article?

So while I don’t claim to be a student loan expert, I have learned a lot of lessons along the way, mostly through trial and error.

Admits not an expert. Is this government promoting incompetence or an individual covering their posterior?

Shouldn't the Department of Education use an expert to give advise on student loans? Why are they using an amateur?

Cops Caught Plotting To Frame Innocent People On Their Own Dash Cam

Thank God (or those ingenious inventors and law enforcement policies) for dash cams. Some cops (12?) have been caught conspiring to plant drugs on two innocent people on their second illegal search.

Follow the above link for the full story. All I can say is this reads as a horrendous case of "power corrupts."

The fact that there a quotes of what the officers said in the article:

the house is clean, there is no meth in the house

we're gonna spike that and we're gonna spike him.

I got the meth in the ------- car

leads me to believe that this was obtained from the video tape.

However, trial by press and public opinion is wrong. We do need to see where this goes and what the conclusions are. Bare out all evidence.

I prefer to think that bad cops are the few. But why would a cop do anything as nefarious as the above suggests?

Stossel, have you any ideas?

Five Ranchers You Have Not Heard About

Some people have mixed feelings about what happened at the Bundy Ranch. Some feel part of it was Bundy's problem since he didn't pay grazing fees. From here on the arguments and little details go on for a while. One thing is for sure and that is that the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) overreacted to the situation.

Even though Bundy might be in the wrong a bit, I'm okay with that because the government is in the wrong a lot. This push against the government is good even if done in a not so kosher manner.

If you play by the rules you might get trampled because the government does not play by the rules. Five ranchers are being trampled on in South Dakota^[1][2]. It's not the BLM this time but the Department of Game, Fish and Parks of South Dakota. Still, totally wrong.

These five ranchers have land that had, I repeat "had," a railway running though it. The land has been owned by their families but easement laws allowed some of it to be used for the railroad. So the tracks eventually closed and the railroad gave it back to South Dakota, except these are easements, not possessions. The railroad cannot give the land to anyone. Under South Dakota law the land goes back to the original owners once the easement is void which is the ranchers.

What actually happened was the state took the land and turned it into a scenic trail. It is now a 109 mile trail cutting through five ranchers' lands. The government has made a regulation no motorized vehicles can go on the trail. So now there is a line on their land the ranchers can not cross; a line that was illegal by state law to be made in the first place. A scenic trail is a piss poor use of easement laws.

In short the ranchers can not cross this line because of beautification, at least that is what I read "scenic trail" as meaning. We are not even talking about an endangered species anymore. Ranchers' way of living is threatened just so things can be prettier.

Are you kidding me!? This is why we should start breaking the rules because the rules are stupid. The rules are anti-human. Thank the founders for the Second Amendment. An aerobic exorcise of it might force the government to obey the law too.

So for now enjoy Joe giving a critique of the Bundy Ranch incident.

The Legalization of Gay Marriage : Alan Keyes 2004

This is an absolutely incredible video about gay marriage, the Constitution, irresponsible judges, and our future.

The Iditerod is Rasict!

The ultimate sport deserves the ultimate coverage. How about the ultimate diversity?

Currently we are lamenting that too few players in baseball are black. No one has mentioned the Iditerod. In 2014 there were 69 racers and only one was black. Newton Marshall.

Well, here's the rub. Newton is not an African-American. He is Jamaican. No extra diversity points for African-Jamaican. Are there White-Jamaicans? Or is it Euro-Jamaicans? No, Euro includes Spain which are Hispanic-Jamaicans and are not White Devils. Anglosaxon-Jamaicans? Anglosaxon excludes the Spanish, right? What was I talking about?

Only 1.45% of the participants are black. 1 in 69, a sexy number. Are you saying blacks aren't sexy?

All of those Harlem youths that latch packs of wild dogs to their Radio Flyers are having their hopes dashed. Why? So cruel!

Do we really have to import black people to race dogs in sub-zero temperatures? The only black man in the world to do this has to be Jamacian high?

Sad.

Tax Day! I Win! Procrastination Pays Off!

Woo Hoo!

Tax Day!

I Win!

Did I get a refund?

No! I owe!

I am sending in my forms on the deadline date.

Why am I happy about that? Because I gained income through interest on what I underpaid. Also, that means I probably underpaid my Medicare tax withholdings and Social Security withholdings.

I underpaid some taxes?

Don't worry. Those of you that get a refund overpaid your Medicare and Social Security taxes subsidizing mine. Thanks!

While you waited for your glorious return to enjoy the fruits of your labor I have already enjoyed mine. In fact, if I owe too much I can get on a payment plan to defer my debt over time.

You should set up your withholdings so that you owe at the end of the year because some day you will die. If you can die while cheating the government out of money, you win.

Equal Pay? Dept of Labor under Obama Admin Okays Women Make Less Than 6 Cents for Every Dollar Their Male Counterpart Makes

I can sensationalize through headlines too!

A group of female employees that work for the Oakland Raiders make about $5 an hour. That is $3 under the minimum wage mandated by California. The U.S. Department of Labor under the Obama Administration gives this a thumbs up because it is seasonal work.

These female employees only make $1,250 a season while their male counter part (I assume male, read to the end) makes $23,000 a season. He makes more than 18 times more. The gals make less than 6 cents for every dollar he earns.

Who are these down trodden females?

Cheerleaders.

Did you just suddenly discount their gripe? Don't. Time is money. Just because they are cheerleaders does not minimize their worth. They do train, practice, and are subject to fines like not having a proper tan color. Not the proper color? That's racist!

Who is the male counter part?

The team mascot. Honestly I don't know if the team mascot is a guy but the article [ here ] has a photo and it looks like that under the costume there is a guy. Maybe it is a bull dyke. I honestly don't know and don't care.

Let's face it, the cheerleaders are poorly paid. The fans need to do something about it, not the government.

So fans, what are you going to do?

Why can't our soldiers carry a weapon?
