I've done a courtesy search for the term are you a union member for you. See if you can find what you're looking for in the list below:

• You won’t hear this from the LSM or Obama tonight..

  But today, when Obama is set to give his “State of the Union” cum campaign speech – yeah, they are all campaign speeches with this guy and this one will be nothing more than a pile of half truths where he yet again passes blame to others and pretend his administration has been anything but disastrous – also marks day number 1000 without a budget. Yes, one thousand days ago, that’s almost 3 years for … Read more

• A Made-Up People

  The Saturday Night Debate was a little more interesting than the previous debates have been. It was mostly between Gingrich and Romney. But while Romney easily punched out Bachmann, Cain and Perry, Gingrich got in some roundhouses of his own. Those of us who remember Gingrich’s vitriol from the 90′s (I grew up next to his district and have met him) were not surprised. He can be vicious, which is why he wore out his … Read more

• You Work For Us

  Tell me you are surprised:

  If you’re a parent who accepts Medicaid payments from the State of Michigan to help support your mentally-disabled adult children, you qualify as a state employee for the purposes of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU). They can now claim and receive a portion of your Medicaid in the form of union dues.

  Robert and Patricia Haynes live in Michigan with their two adult children, who have cerebral palsy.

• Like Herpes…

  It looks like one of the DNC tax payer subsidized propaganda arms, even after being defunded, simply will not go away. Who am I talking about? Well the organization previously know as ACORN. Seems they are in the news again and not surprisingly, they are part & parcel of the OWS protests.

  Officials with the revamped ACORN office in New York — operating as New York Communities for Change — have fired staff, shredded reams

• The Taibbi Plan

  Matt Taibbi, one of the key members of the More Clever than Smart Club, has an essay on what he would have OccupyWallStreet demand. It’s making the rounds. Let’s go through it. I’ve almost finished reading The Big Short, a book you really should read to understand the recent financial crisis. So this will serve two purposes: responding to Taibbi and talking about what I learned from Michael Lewis.

  1. Break up the monopolies.

• It pays to be connected..

  I have not felt any desire whatesoever to post on the entitled assholes protesting the fact that they have to pay back money they borrowed or spent, so I am glad I finally found something that I think was obvious to most of us but still worth bringing up, and that is that as usual, it is the left that is the easiest to buy favors from:

  The group of private-sector business leaders advising

  … Read more

• Occupy Yawn Street

  I just can’t take these guys seriously. That’s what it amounts to. I’ve seen them run this dog and pony show out there too many times: for Republican conventions, for IMF meetings, for the Iraq War, for Earth Day. And they fall into an all-too-familiar pattern.

  Step One: Identify an actual issue.

  This can take time, since your professional protester can find issue with just about anything but it’s hard to find an issue … Read more

• The Ever-Expanding Definition of “Extremism”

  I am going to quote an article below that, when you read the second to last paragraph, you might believe was prompted by the recent killing of Anwar Al-Awlaki, but as you can see from the date in the title, it was written a little over a year ago. Because of that, I thought it better to start a new post, rather than take the Awlaki thread too far afield, but it is tangentially related … Read more

• More Union Nutjobbery

  Normally, the convoluted ramblings of a lunatic would not garner much interest, crazy people are as ubiquitous as discarded Twinkie wrappers in Michelle’s purse, but when one tries to foment insurrection (maybe too harsh a word, you be the judge) with a group of corpulent sour puss union attendee’s, still smarting from the black eyes they got recently in NJ and Wisc. and in no mood for conciliation, then attention must be paid. Witness some … Read more

• Goebbles’ wet dream

  That’s what this new propaganda front by some organization called “Obama for America” smacks of, to me. This stuff is some serious bullshit man. I had a good laugh at some of the nonsense being showcase as I wondered if anyone there even realized how frightening this kind of thing looked like. Seriously, this is basically a government reporting program, set up to look as if it isn’t run by those in government, so they … Read more
