CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Lawmakers deploy rules, hoping to keep town halls from getting out of control – AP  (DIERSEN: Anti-Trumps are filled with hatred.  They are moral relativists who believe that their end justifies their means.  They are disciples of Saul Alinsky.)

— CPS retirement incentive plan fails to draw desired number of participants – Juan Perez Jr.  (DIERSEN: GAO’s early retirement “offer” ended September 30, 1997.  My Democrat GAO superiors thought that I would take their “offer” because they had ranked me in the lower half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes since 1989, they had not promoted me beyond GS-13, they had kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 years (1986-1988) of the almost 18 years that I had worked for GAO, and they had forced me to take an $18,847 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.  As they came to realize that I was not going to take their “offer,” they increasingly made it clear that they would kill me figuratively, if not literally, if I did not take their “offer.”)

— Embattled O’Reilly takes his longest spring break in years – AP  (DIERSEN: How much time and money have you spent on vacations during the last year, during the last 10 years, during the last 20 years, during the last 30 years, during the last 40 years, and during the last 50+ years?  My wife and I have spent very little time and money on vacations since 1992 when her employer, the U.S. League of Savings institutions, moved to Washington, DC, and we have spent virtually no time or money on vacations since 1997 when my income dropped by 59% or $72,135 in today’s dollars when my GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer.”)
http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20170412/entlife/304129823/
(FROM THJE ARTICLE: Embattled Fox News Channel host Bill O’Reilly, who announced he was going on vacation starting Wednesday and returning April 24, hasn’t taken off this much time consecutively in March or April for at least 10 years, an examination of his show’s transcripts revealed. O’Reilly said he likes to take vacation around this time and that he booked this year’s break months ago. That would appear to stave off stories that the cable host had been pressured to make himself scarce for a while. His show has seen an advertiser exodus since reports emerged of settlements reached with five women to keep quiet about harassment accusations.)
