USA violence (unions gone wild)

To America's hot-to-protest college students

Some surveys have shown that over 50% of government union members would stop paying their dues if they had to actually write their own checks.

I bet there's much more than 50% of them that quit paying dues.

No way would I pay dues. I'd have to move to a right to work state. 

The folks over there are really generous.  Greed is Good!

Stupid? Sounds like some folks are pretty smart....crooked smart....

With most public employee pension plans fully funded in 2000, a preposterous actuary study gave assurances that the technology stock market bubble of the 1990s would continue its high returns never burst. The California Governor and the Legislature used the study, paid for by employees who are eligible for retirement benefits, to justify 40% retroactive increases in lifetime pension payments and enhancements of retiree healthcare. During 2008 and 2009, a bogus California actuary study claiming the retiree healthcare plan was over-funded was used to justify waiving mandatory employee contribution increases to cover accelerating healthcare insurance premium increases.

That's from your link above, which has some extra stuff in it:

I wonder if that State Sen. knows how really stupid he sounds when that proposal is read in the news?

Some of our AWOL Hoosier Democrats told an "inspirational" tale of their time spent in Illinois. They visited a Lincoln museum where they were inspired by ol' Abe jumping out a window to deny a quorum on a vote to close a state(?) bank.  Our AWOL dims were soooo inspired knowing they are following in his footsteps.

Naturally some historians had to write into the newspaper after that story appeared.  With corrections:

a. Ol' Abe and a few others jumped out the window (the doors were locked) but only after the attendance was taken for a quorum. They jumped too late.

b. And...later in life...Lincoln said he regretted doing it...not the right thing to do. 

Very sad state of affairs...

A violation of the open meetings law. And running away to another state isn't a violation!

If I understand...this is a "temporary" ruling by the judge while she reviews it.  Since the dims are back, there's nothing to prevent them from doing a "re-do" as I understand.

I already had this political cartoon in my pocket on my way here...hate to waste it:

I just want to barf when I hear them chanting that.  Crap!

I think another story I read said that that is a very liberal DA, in a the most liberal Wisconsin county...and liberal judge. "An island of liberalness..." is how I think it was phrased.
