I've been here before, but have been remiss in not attending regularly. ;-) Thanks for the advice on the Glucosamine. As for education persons starving, an interesting read is the Middletown-Times-Herald-Record's spreadsheet publication of teacher's salaries in the Orange-Ulster-Sullivan counties. It's located on the front page of: http://www.recordonline.com Also of interest are the salaries at SUCO, found at my site. I find it fascinating that the President of SUCO makes $220,000/year, takes in $4,500/month in housing allowance, gets a car and gasoline, as well as health and pension bennies of 35%. See you down the blog, Al Czervic "The Catskill Commentator" Matt,

I didn't think for a second that it was a partisan post. That's why I described it as the NEA lobbying for "their preferred candidate" instead of something tendentious like "shilling for the Democrats" - I considered this politically neutral. I wasn't sure whether Stephen meant that you were a smear artist or I was for reposting it. Eh, it's probably both! My question is... do the Rethuglican operatives pay you via PayPal, certified check or money order? They put stacks of bills in lunchboxes for me. Mark,

You can go ahead and trust that I didn't work for my son's inclusion in any mailing lists. Good grief -- everyone is a conspiracy theorist.

They can lobby how they want just like any other business or union. 19 efforts and then yelling at us about how underfunded schools are, and how NEA members are day-to-day bootstrappers? That's what I disapprove of. That’s the NEA lobbying for their preferred candidate – no gripes there. They can lobby how they want just like any other business or union.
