...that Colin Powell, former SecState doesn't much like the idea of John Bolton being our Ambassador to the UN. Would hate to think how long Bolton would have lasted had he served under Powell when Powell was a General in the Army. Ten seconds maybe? Ouch!
Why is it that so many Republican congressional members continue to say things that offend the maximum number of people? Like Santorum (R-PA)...who's announced that the minimum wage for waiters and waitresses should be just the smallest amount more, because they get tips. Wonder if he knows that in some states that wage is $2.30 an hour? And does he know that tips have to be reported and are taxed? That in some states they don't report tips because the restaurants or bars or whatever simply assume that whatever the amount of the bill is, the customer has tipped that amount whether they have or not, and the employees are then taxed based on that amount? And that in most restaurants the waiters and waitresses also tip the bus boys/girls and sometimes the cooks as well out of whatever amount of tips they've earned that shift? Santorum should have read "Nickled and Dimed" before he opened his big mouth.
There are fools and damned fools and he's the latter.
Wrap.
