The Ramblings of a Drunken Irish Blogger - He's crazy about his pension


Gene Stipe. The pride of McAllister, OK and the U.S Medical Center for Federal Prisoners. You can not drive a block in McAllister without being reminded of the state’s most corrupt politician. The entrance into town is decorated with a large sign that says "Welcome to McAllister. Home of Gene Stipe." I hear they are throwing a parade tomorrow to celebrate Gene “Federal Indictment” Stipe’s latest court victory. The state board of the Oklahoma Public Employees Retirement System had seen fit to reduce Mr. Stipe’s pension to $1,600 a month. This seems reasonable, in light of the multitude of indictments that have been thrown Eugene’s way. But a delightful Oklahoma Court judge saw this for the injustice that it was and reinstated Gene Stipe’s pension to the tune of seven thousand and forty two dollars a month. That is a fifty-four hundred dollar raise. I guess, now, he won’t have to fraudulently funnel public money into private ventures. Today, the Oklahoma Supreme Court upheld the lower court ruling. I suppose they want to ensure that fraud charges will never rob them of their hard earned pensions. Perhaps Gene is not the only one that belongs in a mental hospital. Too far?

Blogger, I served with Gene Stipe; I knew Gene Stipe; Gene Stipe was a friend of mine. Blogger, you're no Gene Stipe.
