it is sick but it is the law.
Well as they say, everybody needs to be somewhere...
Talk about falling into a pile of.......gold.
Frank has risen above his level of incompetence thanks to Nancy Pelosi, Obamacare and his pal O'Malley.
His salary will be about $127,000, and he will get a very lucrative pension and other benefits paid for by Maryland taxpayers.
well if you can't make it in congress, you might as well be a judge.
8.05 you are so right.
If the Maryland tax payers don't pay a judge's salary who do you think should?
