“I’m blessed. I have a great job, and in this economy it’s great that I can cover everything with my eight hours a day and over.”
In this Obama economy we should feel blessed to be employed, so we salute the individual who made the comments above, in recognizing her own good fortune. But that’s before you know about what this person does for a living. The people she should really be thanking are you and me, the taxpayers, for allowing her to pull in nearly $100,000 a year for… collecting tolls at the booths of New York-New Jersey crossings.
Ladies and gentlemen, meet Princesella Smith, who raked in $89,599 while operating the toll lanes at the George Washington Bridge in 2011.

The Battle of Fredericksburg
On this day in 1862, the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, commanded by Gen. Robert E. Lee, crushed and defeated the Union Army of the Potomac. The Union general, Ambrose Burnside, proved to be incompetent and was soon thereafter removed from command. Burnside is now known for little except being the inspiration for the term “sideburns.” |
