It is difficult to take anyone seriously who writes this with a straight face:

That allowed them to vote on provisions to eliminate collective bargaining without the presence of the 14 Senate Democrats who had fled to Illinois to prevent its passage.

Tune in to MSNBC on Saturday, March 12 for news coverage of the "We Are Wisconsin" rally, which is slated to be the biggest day of protesting in Madison since the stand-off between Governor Walker and Wisconsin's middle class began.

Man, that must have been a huge rally. Too bad the cameras have left town.

My guess is that the unions are about to discover that turning out rabble in a hippie college town like Madison when a cause is fashionable is one thing. Convincing a weary and broke nation to continue to support their gravy train is something else

Oh, boo-hoo.

The NEA aren’t for the working people any more than any of these other communist organizations are. They’re more interested in protecting illegal immigrants and promoting health care for everyone than they are in improving children’s education.

This is a boring comment, I know, but it is important.

Every time you hear/see someone use the term “rights” as it applies to collective bargaining, please correct it to “privileges”.
