Members of SEIU Local 1000 protest Friday outside a Sacramento theater showing "The Expendables," an action movie in which Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger makes a cameo appearance. The union is fighting the governor's plan for state worker furloughs during a budget impasse.

The state is going under, but we don't care. We deserve to be able to drive the state into bankruptcy. We are the public sector employee unions. We have rights. We are more important than other citizens. Those citizen deserve to take on a second or third job, so they can send more taxes in to make our lives better.

There ought to be a $5 reward for pelts...
I have family members that are public sector union employees, so I don't really mean that last part. None the less, the rest of my post just about sums it up.

I'm sure that the "picket" line was well-coordinated with the Sacramento bee, and may have only lasted an hour or so.
Naturally, I will now have to go see the film, just because the SIEU said not to (and there will be many, many more uninstructable film-goers just like moi.)
I will, however, skip the "eat" film with Julia Roberts (who believes Republicans are "repugnant" and compares us to "reptiles").

SEIU: the same union that is dead silent on L.A. mayor Villaraigosa’s corruption and abuses, a la choice tickets to sporting events, travel, Oscars parties, etc., while slashing city jobs.

Not time yet to take the Brown Shirts out of the drawers, eh?
