— Drew Peterson sues Bolingbrook to get his police pension back – Andy Grimm  (DIERSEN: Are you in line to get a pension or are you getting a pension?  Ever-increasingly, those who are NOT in line to get a pension or are NOT getting a pension demonize, denigrate, and condemn those who are in line to get a pension or are getting a pension.  Of course, needless-to-say, the bigger that the pension is that you are in line for or are getting, the more that you are demonized, denigrated, and condemned.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Maps group wants state to look into spending by its opponent – Rick Pearson  (DIERSEN: Who are your critics/opponents?  What do they promise/give to their operatives and their dupes to destroy you?  Operatives and dupes for my critics/opponents talk and act like they have been promised and/or given lots of money, a new home, a new car, a sweetheart job, a sweetheart contract, favorable legislation, and much more to a) stop me from putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails together and sending them out and b) to stop everyone from reading those emails.  What do you say a) to my critics/opponents, b) to their operatives, and c) to their dupes?)

— Adman pitches idea that adwomen don’t want to lead, soon will be ex-adman – Phil Rosenthal  (DIERSEN: During my last 4 years working for GAO, my supervisor was a woman, and for the 4 years before that, she was my supervisor’s supervisor.  To her credit, she was reluctant to take the lead in wasting my career and in forcing me to retire; but increasingly, she did that.  Her superiors reminded her a) that she was a female while I was a male, b) that she was Jewish while I was a Missouri Synod Lutheran, c) that she was liberal while I was conservative, d) she was a Democrat while I was a Republican, e) that she was younger than I was, f) that she had dependent children while I did not, g) that she was of Russian national origin while I was of German national origin, h) that her ancestors were recent immigrants while my ancestors had been in America since the 1840s, i) that she lived in the north side of Chicago while I lived in Wheaton, j) etc.  From what I see, her superiors punished her because she did not get rid of me sooner than she did.)

— From behind bars, Drew Peterson seeks to have police pension reinstated – Christy Gutowski (DIERSEN: Are you in line to get a pension or are you getting a pension?  Ever-increasingly, those who are NOT in line to get a pension or are NOT getting a pension demonize, denigrate, and condemn those who are in line to get a pension or are getting a pension.  Of course, needless-to-say, the bigger that the pension is that you are in line for or are getting, the more that you are demonized, denigrated, and condemned.)

GOPUSA
— Student loan lunacy  (DIERSEN: My Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that the courses that I took to earn a bachelor’s degree, three master’s degrees, and two professional certifications a) were not job-related, b) did not help me carry out my job duties, c) were taken by me to get a job in the private sector, and d) were a distraction.  They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a females, or a veteran.)
http://www.gopusa.com/student-loan-lunacy/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: College students whose majors don’t turn out as they envision will be able to walk away from their loan debt simply by claiming their schools bamboozled them, as allowed under a new rule. Proposed by the Department of Education, published in June in the Federal Register and scheduled for approval on Nov. 1, the rule will allow students to “discharge” their federal student loan obligation if they can show — and rather broadly — that they were hoodwinked by a university’s “misrepresentation.” This easy out would leave taxpayers and colleges on the hook for between $2 billion and $43 billion over the next 10 years, according to a federal estimate. And what could be easier than for the lame-duck administration, in its 11th-hour regulatory push, to ship off this sour tart and simply walk away? For starters, the rule is entirely unnecessary. An existing provision allows students to sue for loan forgiveness in cases of intentional fraud or in other violations of law. What’s proposed is preposterously unspecific, leaving schools with little recourse. It’s akin to allowing mortgage holders to dump their loans because they picked the wrong neighborhood in which to reside. In the end, this latest get-out-of-debt free nonsense helps no one. It simply abrogates personal responsibility. And unfortunately for young people sucked into these liberal escapades, life is not so forgiving.)

Of course, needless-to-say, they did that to justify getting rid of their employees like me who were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.  My Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates demonized, denigrated, and condemned the experience that I had gained a) working for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 level (currently $77,899-$88,286), b) passing the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations, c) earning a job-related bachelor’s degree and three job-related master’s degrees, d) serving on the executive committee of a job-related professional association for 12 years, e) working for GAO for almost 18 years, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 level (currently $92,632-$120,427), f) etc.  They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, younger, or a veteran.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The authors note: “An older worker’s experience increases not only his own productivity but also the productivity of those who work with him.” All else equal, experienced workers are more productive. One study found that productivity peaks at age 50, when productivity is 60% higher than for the average 20 year old.)
