I referenced the article containing those comments yesterday but found what Brooks said much more relevant and pithy. Try to keep up. Altman was put in that position, by his player, of having to say something, which he hates. He hates the distraction. Drives him absolutely nuts. The worst thing any player can do is cri...

Realize that the unfunded liability is mostly not about the retirement system at all. It is about massive errors by actuaries and bad behavior by politicians. Cleaning it up is a multi-billion dollar mess that local agencies are responsible for technically. The amount of money can potentially swamp their budgets. T...

But by 8th grade we're nowhere near the bottom, which suggests the longer children are in the system, the better we're doing! This is all based on standardized tests that measure a very small part of what children are/are not learning.

Speaking of unions, I remember Begich on TV bragging about getting the ENDOSEMENT of the Police, Firefighters, and Teachers, and then after he became Mayor we find out that 10 Anchorage Police Officers are making $93 an hour overtime to provide security at the Ben Boeke arena. That's called PAYOLA for the ENDORSEMENT!

Photoradar actually makes sense. The problem with it was that it got deployed by a for-profit agency that set traps rather than calmed traffic.

It just depends on your personal philosophy, as to what's wrong.
