Defending The Indefensible

...courtesy of Our Perpetual Governor in the DM Register. Let me be totally clear: there is no justification whatsoever for this kind of double-dipping. This should be a clear, easy and simple concept for everyone- including Our Perpetual Governor and I'm baffled why the Legislature is laying down on this issue. Very simple, kids- behold:

Retired: pension

Not Retired: no pension!

If Our Perpetual Double-Dipping Governor chooses not to seek his umpteenth term in 2014 and really retire, then I have no problem whatsoever with him getting his pension. He's put in his time and he's earned it. But he's still working- and most definately not retired. Therefore, no pension!

(Oh and: I don't want to hear any bullshit about fiscal sacrifice. Our Perpetual Governor dropped from 400K a year to 130K a year. Life can't be that hard and what with the free housing, I really doubt he's struggling to pay his bills. That's not sacrifice, it's a self-agrandizing paycut to fluff his ego as he rides into town with a bad combover and the same damn moustache he's had for three decades now to supposedly save the day. I'm unimpressed.)
