Federal workers earning double their private counterparts

"At a time when workers' pay and benefits have
stagnated, federal employees' average compensation has grown to more
than double what private sector workers earn, a USA TODAY analysis
finds.

Federal workers have been awarded bigger average
pay and benefit increases than private employees for nine years in a
row. The compensation gap between federal and private workers has
doubled in the past decade.

Federal civil servants earned average pay and
benefits of $123,049 in 2009 while private workers made $61,051 in total
compensation, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis. The data
are the latest available.

The federal compensation advantage has grown from $30,415 in 2000 to $61,998 last year."

Ban the Burqa?

Claire Berlinski argues persuasively that the burqua should be banned.

Say, isn't Chicago Obama's town?

"It’s a shame that the public has to be reminded of this from time to
time, but any cop can testify to this inescapable fact of police work:
Where there is no punishment for criminal behavior, crime will flourish.

Nowhere has this been demonstrated with greater clarity lately than in Chicago, where the Sun-Times has taken notice and sounded the alarm. In a three-part series that concluded Tuesday, reporters Mark Konkol and Frank Main examined
the violent incidents that occurred over a single weekend in Chicago
two years ago. During that 59-hour period, from April 18 -20, 2008,
forty people were shot in the city, seven of them fatally. Stop and
consider that for a moment: one city, one weekend, seven people
murdered, and 33 others shot but still alive.

As horrifying as those numbers are, they are far from the most disturbing revelation in the Sun-Times
series. You might assume that such an extraordinary outbreak of carnage
would have aroused the citizenry in Chicago to demand swift action from
their police, prosecutors, and elected officials to see to it that
those responsible for the violence were brought to justice. You might
assume so, that is, if you don’t live in Chicago.

As it happens, not a single suspect in any of those shootings has been convicted of a crime."
