You are slicing the banana threads too finely for me. I did a quick search on the rules they publish and the gist was that you get the same bennies as anyone else.

So, stop slicing banana treads and tell us how it is that YOU DON'T get appropriate credit.

Let's clear some things up. Our county has just under a million people. We spend over $2 billion per annum on schools.

Yo,

Maria,

That rant certainly cleared some things up. BUT.

I'm not from the same rathole state that brought us the klintoons and now another elmer gantry grifter.

I'm also not impressed that fairfax county overspends for public education, for if it produced your line of irrational thought, maybe you should vote for a tax increase and get more, betterer and smarterer teachers.

As far as you evaluating my competency on any issue, you certainly have the right to post inane thoughts on FR, and I can either answer or ignore, a path I'll choose in the future.

NO I am discussing his PRIVATE USE of the state patrol airplane, not to inspect bean fields but to go to places like Atlanta and Washington DC.

For your information. From the Arkansas Times:

Huckabee continues to use state plane for out-of-state travel.

Published 12/1/2005

Gov. Mike Huckabee is still flying high on the taxpayers’ dime and refusing to provide details about it, claiming security interests.

The Arkansas Times first reported Nov. 3 about his use of the State Police’s twin-engine Beechcraft King Air 200. He has used it several times since.

From Oct. 22 to Nov. 10 he used the plane to fly to Atlanta, Charlotte, twice to Dallas and three times to Washington, D.C. On one of those trips, Huckabee and his wife, son and daughter-in-law traveled to and from Washington so Gov. and Mrs. Huckabee could participate in the Marine Corps marathon.

Huckabee will not answer questions about how or why he decides to use the State Police plane for almost all of his out-of-state travel, which includes about 40 trips in 2005.“Whether we are talking in general or about specifics, when it is a matter of travel it is a security issue and we’re not going to comment,” said Huckabee press secretary Alice Stewart. It is unclear what security concerns exist after a trip, but Stewart won’t discuss that either.

State Police spokesman Bill Sadler said the department has “no recollection or record” of Huckabee ever reimbursing the department for his use of its aircraft.

Sounds quite reasonable to me ~ fly to Washington DC.

I've done that myself.

Were you suggesting that ALL of Huckabee's flights here were "private"?

Hmmmm.

[muawiyah]

You guys really gotta’ trim down the size of that state though. I’ve done a bit of driving around the place, and most of it was outrageously time consuming. I could have been back in Washington doing real work, but no, they wanted me to drive out to see various Arkansas post offices ~ which really isn’t too exciting.

[muawiyah]

Sorry, I didn't go to school in Fairfax. Algore didn't either ~ he went to a private school. As far as overspending, you really ought to take a look at DC ~ if money were the sole determinant of intelligence they'd be pouring geniuses out of that place.

Fairfax county turns out to be QUITE AVERAGE as far as major suburban school systems are concerned.

You really ought to catch up on these things ~

Now, about your charge of irrationality, do you have any idea what you are talking about or are you just making noise to attract my attention? Remember what happened to those young men in San Fran when they caught the tiger's attention. Well, tigers aren't alone.
