Is Joe the Plumber the same dude as Joe Sixpack?
Because if he is, I would like Johnny Boy to know that not everyone is like Joe the Plumber. And to that point, in Joe the Plumber's small business, how many jobs is he really going to create? Three? Four? I mean, is he going up against Roto-Rooter?

Trench Warfare
I was 16 when I read a quote in an Aspen newspaper describing school funds:
School finance is like a Russian novel. Long, boring and in the end, everyone dies.
Exactement, lady.
This is my employment situation analogized by a trip to the supermarket. In this analogy, I am the vendor, i.e., I am providing services. The school is the consumer who hired me under the premise that I would be paid a certain amount.
Vendor: Your total for the month comes to $3,000
Consumer: Whoops. I only have $1,200.
Hello Miami-Dade County Public Schools "System" (System, implying organized interacting entities). You're cyber-dead to me.
