As much as we would all like for Rowdy to defend and substantiate his remarks, I think we need to realize that this was a "drive-by" comment thrown out to test/stir the waters. As previously stated...nobody has even attempted to confirm his credibility....nor the validity of his post.

Wow!! Should we expect furloughs soon??
