re: #115 Douchecanoe and Ryan Too

Here’s from HuffPo:

President Barack Obama gave a New Year’s gift to returning members of Congress, federal workers and Vice President Joe Biden on Thursday, signing an executive order calling for an end to a years-long pay freeze.

As of March 27, 2013, federal employees will see a half-percent to one percent pay increase, marking the end of a pay freeze that has been in place since late 2010. Congress hasn’t seen a pay raise since 2009.

According to the order, Biden’s pay will increase from $225,521 to $231,900 a year, before taxes. House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) will see his salary increased to $224,500 and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) will take home an annual pay of $194,400 after his raise.

It’s not really sooper-seekrit….other press outlets have reported it as well. Of course I’m sure FNC shrieked like stuck pigs about it. Times like this make me oh so grateful we don’t have FNC here in the Czech Republic. Just boring old ČT 1, ČT 2 and ČT24. If you want more sensationalistic news, there’s always Nova or Prim. If you listen to those two, the Czech Republic is going straight to hell, and it’s…..well, it’s somebody’s fault, dammit!
