Callback to that earlier article about the frigged-up pension system:

For example, KRS assumed that it would earn an average of 6.75 percent to 7.5 percent on money it invested, but it earned an average of 4.75 percent, Farris said. KRS assumed that public payroll would grow by 4 percent a year through pay raises or more government hiring — a larger payroll means larger pension contributions by employees — but public payroll has dropped overall because of repeated budget cuts, he said.

The fact that it's a wreck is bad enough, but it's even worse that people (apparently) intentionally manipulated all of this with wrong and unrealistic numbers to lie about how bad things were. Makes you think that the only requirement to be on the retirement pension board is to score about an 8 on the Wonderlic.

I really wonder if there isn't some criminal liability here.

The government, and all of you losers who work for it, sucks D.

not disputing your point, but point of clarification:

More D or less D than Wells Fargo?

Are you on the hook for those 5,300 ********' worth of perpetual financial well-being?

Didn't think so. Your objection is overruled. My initial proclamation stands. F off.

You can't have a Kentucky pension issues article and not note that the state knowingly and intentionally underfunded the pension system for years. I'm not gonna crush the average social worker making $30k and making their mandatory payroll contribution (while having very little chance of actually retiring and receiving a state pension) because the state didn't make theirs.

So proud of Brian.

You can order pizza with Alexa. Not sure on the beer but I don't think so. Your Alexa app does keep record of all commands. Listening to Jackson 5 radio on her right now.

Google music:fire::fire:

Amazon music is pretty cool if you're a prime memeber like me. I'm an amazon prime memeber because I'm rich

"The government" Fd those people over, in other words.

 

[joeyrupption]

Until Alexa can go pick up a hot za and some crafties for me I have no real interest, tbh.

Alexa can do both of those things in Northern Kentucky. (You guys don't have "Prime Now," yet.)

Maybe next year, Kentuckiana!

Did balance the budget those years they looted the pension fund though.

 

[PTI Anon1640710541]

Wait. They balanced a $10 billion checkbook? Damn. Kudos, Paul Patton!

 

[RandomUser]

I think that's part of the point. Pretty damn easy to balance the books if you can just make up whatever numbers you choose and watch everyone look the other way because they want it all to look balanced as well. Seems criminal and maybe somebody will serve some time eventually, but that certainly won't balance the books at this point.

Hey, Maxxx. Looks like Harkes is out at FCC. He and Berding had a power struggle.

I know Berding has been trying to take credit for everything all offseason.

* George the Animal was my boss's HS football coach and teacher.

 

[ukalum01]

- Kinda surprising but "Frasier" actually holds up... mostly because of the dad.

- Bronson Arroyo on a minor league deal? Kinda hope he makes the team at 40 and softballs 67 mph curves in there. What else is there really to look forward to?

- Angling for Hayes Carll in Louisville tomorrow night. Liked but didn't love all of the new album but anything off "Trouble in Mind" would be worth the drive.

Saw that. On the eve of their pre season friendlies to boot.

There was almost a fight in the (Keller) Texas Elite 7 on 7 league tonight also. FYI.

Max, you wanna be on my Plexus team? Pretty much assuming all these deferred comp statements I get from the state are like the Dumb and Dumber IOU's in the briefcase.

[BernieSadori]

Wife and kids going to the Tractor Pull tonight. All alone here. Considering going out and having a couple cold ones and watch the game.

Girls fights are only outdone in their terribleness by their basketball games. Truly awful.

 

[IsRichieGonnaStart]

Watching the highlights of the Rising Star Game from the TNT crew. The banter between Barkley, Shaq & Co is fng priceless. Off the cuff. No holds barred ball busting. Barkley telling Shaq with his yellow suit/purple tie combo he looks like one of the Pips and where's Gladys. Shaq giving Barkley **** over how much money he lost at the craps table the night before. It's like the anti ESPN.

Kyrie Irving seriously thinks the world is flat and that everything NASA tells us is a lie.

And the comments to that story on KSR are frightening.

Little late, but BBdK, have you looked into a body wrap for your golf cart instead of painting it? I've noticed that becoming a trend lately. Could be an option for you.

That's some quality Duke education right there.

I honestly don't think I could be friends with someone who legitimately believes the Earth is flat. If I owned the Cavs I'd ask Kyrie to say he was joking, and if he refused I'd seriously consider trading or cutting him. It would be very difficult to be aligned in any way with someone that GD stupid. I'd rather have my dignity than a title, probably.

He's the Cavs UKO -- unclear whether he's an utter buffoon or clinically passive aggressive and either way there is no reasoning with him.

The earth is round, but NASA and NOAA have been cooking the books when it comes to temperatures for years.

 

[SAECATFAN]

I feel the same way about this as I do when otherwise educated people tell me evolution is "junk science."

And there's a giant Arc in Northern Kentucky built by that stupidity. F'n dolts are everywhere.

I know I don't contribute/read this thread on a daily basis but I must say, this thread was a great distraction while my wife was in labor in the middle of the night for me. What would have normally been time spent pacing back and forth in a hospital room while my wife was able to rest after her epidural was time spent with me reading your stupid jokes and inconsistent, knee jerk sports takes on my phone. My beautiful little girl turns one day old in 30 mins but wanted to thank you guys for the distraction and entertainment. [cheers]

 

[tallkat70]

This evidently is a thing now but I was informed by my wife when I told her about Kyrie's comments she said there are videos on the intrawebs about some type of religious group presenting "facts" about the Earth being flat and there are also videos arguing with the "flat earthers". I had no idea this was going on.

Congrats, dude. Baby girls are the best.
