| re: IRS scandal is an embarassment Posted by GetBackToWork on 5/17 at 9:22 pm Everyone should be frightened by a politicized IRS. If one administration can use them, so can another. This is a non partisan issue. Any conservative thinking republican operatives would all be somehow above this are naive. Beltway politics are garbage.

| re: EBR shelter euthanizes dog after owner arrives to pick it up Posted by GetBackToWork on 5/17 at 9:10 pm In me experience, if you suspect your pet might be in the pound, insist on walking through.

| re: Audit: Half of TOPS students lose awards Posted by GetBackToWork on 5/7 at 8:04 am I completely disagree with the notion TOPS is a waste because people move. How about the quality students remaining who would've gone elsewhere.

| re: Audit: Half of TOPS students lose awards Posted by GetBackToWork on 5/7 at 6:26 am The minimum requirements for TOPS are too low. As an FYI, a 25 on the ACT is akin to a 23 for those who took it before the early 90's when they changed the test. Anyone scoring in this range may not necessarily succeed in college. Coupled with what students receive from run of the mill public hig...Posted on: Political TalkJump to Post • View Topic |

| re: What color socks do you wear with brown casual/dressy shoes? Posted by GetBackToWork on 5/3 at 3:56 pm Some of this, IMO, depends upon the dress level. With business suits - grays/black socks with gray suits, navies with navy.
Casual there is no need to be so rigid. Contrast argyle, lighter colors, etc are fine. I often wear brown shades with jeans.

| re: dumb BR Unified Development Code housing rule deemed unconstitutional Posted by GetBackToWork on 4/25 at 11:28 am There is a reason we have single family and multi family zoning.
Taking a single family house and allowing four, five, or six tenants to occupy subverts the intent of zoning.
