Like I said on Friday, needed to soak my toes for a few days, but my god, after reading this in Saturday's DMR I either had to soak my head or just pull it together and get back in the fight.

Okay, if I was "in the fight" I would have posted on Saturday and be hammering away at this in some umpteenth seperate post, but I do have a life outside of typing random thoughts on a blog.

Anyway, read this: ...A report issued Friday by Iowa Auditor David Vaudt indicates that the publicly funded Central Iowa Employment and Training Consortium's top executives are each collecting more than $350,000 in pay this year. By comparison, Gov. Tom Vilsack was paid $107,482 last year.
