At $20,000 Per Month Pay Trumpka Cites King For 'Rights' Of Workers
$238,975 (Trumka gave himself a 44% increase in 4 years) per year, plus benefits, which is $19, 914.00 per month in salary. He likens the union fight to Dr. Martin Luther King's struggle for civil rights. As if King fought for the right to Viagra and $20,000, per month salary.
Union equates lavish benefits to black civil rights
Union equates lavish benefits to black civil rights
"April 4 [is] the day on which Martin Luther King Jr. gave his life for the cause of public collective bargaining," Trumka said in another speech, in Washington, on Wednesday. And on the AFL-CIO blog, there is this notice: "Join us to make April 4, 2011, a day to stand in solidarity with working people in Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana and dozens of other states where well-funded, right-wing corporate politicians are trying to take away the rights Dr. King gave his life for."King would have called BS on this movement.

House Votes 236-181 To Allow Debate To Block Federal Funding Of NPR
It's a start. Heath Shuler (D-NC) voted with Republicans.
The GOP resolution, sponsored by Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-Colo.), also prohibits NPR from using federal funds to buy programming. According to NPR, 2 percent of its funding comes from federally sponsored competitive grants.
They are to have a final vote this afternoon whether to block federal funding.

Breathlessly Waiting For Breathless Headline
While we wait breathlessly for another breathless headline about radiation in Japan or the latest atrocities of the errant radical right wing nuts that make op the cadre of Tea Party covens nationwide I noticed an article in Reason Hit and Run about Senator Al Franken.
Last time we checked in with Senate not-so-funny man Al Franken and his ongoing crusade to save the Internet by enforcing net neutrality, he was confusing wireless data networks like the ones that connect Blackberries and iPhones to the Internet with home-based wi-fi connections like you might set up in your office
Franken isn't the sharpest tool in his shed and the gardener knee pads are funnier, but this article shows yet another politician desperately trying to seem relevant when they have absolutely no basic understanding of which they speak. Maybe Franken can once again show his cute pugnacious side and break all the inter-tubes if he doesn't get to save free speech by imposing government regulations on free speech. Of course, Franken isn't alone in his approach to government stupidity. Maybe a current leader, but not alone. There are those that actually still believe we can spend our way out of being broke. This is, as always, the cure that kills, but then they can say we were the cure!
Happy St Patrick's Day
Irish beer is good. Irish music actually sounds like country music. Ireland is beautiful.
So, why don't we see any of that here is America?
I have Irish ancestors. I grew up with green beer and corned beef and cabbage with the hidden coin. I heard a shrieking whine similar to the sound of dying cats that I was told was Irish music. Other Irish music seemed to always include men and women dancing to jigs that were way too perky. I performed in Brigadoon which most people thought was about Ireland even though it was clearly not. Leprechauns seemed to be a constant source of amusement to those around me.
Thankfully, in my visits to Ireland I saw Ireland, not some maudlin or Disney-like production with Lerner/Loewe lyrics about another country. My great grandmother wore traditional blue on St Patrick's Day and as her family had always done she always took me to church to pray to Saint Patrick in the hope that I would not observe the heathen celebration of "wearing the green" which meant green ties, shirts, scarves, beer and whatever, but never God's message to children through the Trinity of the shamrock.
The heathens she referred to were my protestant Scottish, Welsh and German relatives celebrating with beer, stories of some vague misty homeland and gluttony.
I've never seen a Leprechaun, but I once saw my father in a kilt.

Hillary's Final Two, Obama's Final Four & Japan's Finale
Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton announced that after her term as Secretary of State, in two years, she is out. Japan is out if you believe the media. Qaddafi is murdering his people by bracketing. Egypt is winning in its tournament by killing their opponents. And the whole Middle East is a powder keg of explosive action.
Why would anyone care about the march of madness in the world when March Madness is upon us here in the United States. Any bartender or wife that switches to a news program will be murdered and their killer will be found innocent by reason of temporary March Madness.
If by chance radiation wafts over the Pacific to our land of plenty there will be a plenty of skeletons still sitting in recliners holding beers with their dead eyes still pointed towards a television. It appears that will be the case at 123 Hog Back Road, Anytown, US 54321 as well as at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC 20500. Unfortunately, they won't find out how the madness called foreign policy ends.
As an American I am so pleased, actually tickled pink, that the president has finally found something of interest to fill his term of office.

The Pratt Fall Of The Avant-Garde
Avant-garde, the vanguard, became a cliche the minute the phrase was coined in art, literature, fashion and society. All after was mere conformity to the actual vanguard. It has been so since. In my studies of art in college and in NYC, professors spoke of the future of avant-garde through history while calling any artist that depicted a penis as so avant-garde. Students, then clutching their wine and cigarette, yearned to be part of the avant garde. Once members they felt they could man the barricades of social change and shout into the wind. It was really boring.
For painters, foto-realism was in, which meant I was out. To me foto-realism was a more expensive paint-by-numbers methodology that I had conquered as a child. I still remember the paint-by-numbers boast, "Every Man A Rembrandt". I also remember the kits cost less than the college course. My practice of painting from life was considered passe.
I moved on to photography because as a foto-realist, I felt merely a middleman between a photograph and a painting. Once again, artists of the vanguard came into play. I had no desire to lug an 8 X 10 Deardorff camera out to "capture" landscapes nor did I want to take the time to learn the Zone System (I did). I wanted to use the camera for what I thought it did best which was to capture a moment. Wrong again. I still have portfolios of images of leaves, trees and organic landscapes. I found it especially ironic in NYC to sit in lofts rhapsodizing over landscapes of nature as I thought of trudging home through the landscapes of man.
Politics, thankfully, played in the background though if behind in output a picture of someone down trodden could buy some time and possibly bump in grade. Civil Rights, as a movement had passed as an in vogue moment, but a pissed off indian was still a pretty good, but hard to find image in Times Square.
I worked out the physics of angle and light that would allow me to photograph without the necessity of the viewfinder and I liked what I produced. I savaged the Zone System and went into the clubs and bars and captured images that I liked complete with halos, swirls and deep blacks that created inhuman shapes within the frame. I sought out photographers whose work I had seen in undistinguished galleries. To go to Hell's Kitchen or deep into ravaged Harlem was a new voyage for me. When I arrived with my puppy eyes asking to learn or "rap" about art from those artists I was treated as I should've been, an interloper, because I wasn't there with my shiny Leica to document pain. I was still fifteen minutes behind avant garde, but it was kicking my butt. My real photography stayed in my apartment. In the closet.
What did I learn from all this? Simple. Avant-garde is a hoax as touted. It is a political platform to sift the wheat from the chaff in the art world by the elite. I didn't and don't care because along the way I met some incredible artists that taught me the most important art lesson of all. Do it. Do it because you love it. Do it because it's in your blood. The best work I ever saw was from an old woman on West 121st Street. She had bought a $5 Brownie and when she could afford to she'd buy film in junk stores. She would never sell me a print because then she'd have to make another copy which she didn't want to do except for relatives. She was the Lartique of Harlem.
In all the art schools, where one meets the finer people, avant-garde is painfully entering its third (or is fourth?) generation of being out front. It is difficult to watch such a spectacle when it is obvious the oldster just wants to die. It can't because art schools and the elite still don't know what avant-garde means. Too many Pratt Falls, but I'll bet that somewhere they have Duchamp's Urinal on a hall poster. Maybe some student will once more tape the poster over a real urinal, take a photograph, and feel avant-garde.

Dick Schumer: The Savior Of Republicans & Fiscal Sanity
Yep, he is! He has to be because if Schumer is for any one thing then all sane people must to be against it. So, if Schumer says he has saved Boehner and Republicans from the Tea Party then they have only one course to pursue.
Finally align themselves with the Tea Party.
Schumer taunts Boehner again: Democrats saved you from the Tea Party
“It’s time for him to abandon the Tea Party, and forge a bipartisan compromise.
If Schumer is talking honesty, fiscal responsibility and compromise my advise to the entire congress is to check for their wallets because something's missing.
I wouldn't believe Schumer if he said water was wet.
Don't listen to Chuckie, slash the budget and do it fast.

Many of us live near or shop at the Sendiks in Shorewood and were told that Nehring was not giving funds to union busters, unlike the other Sendik owners, Balistreris. Please go to the Shorewood manager this weekend and tell him he needs to tell John Nehring that he either pulls his support from Jeff Stone or we will have a serious boycott of Shorewood. Tell him you shop ther but no longer unless he pulls his support–publically. Monday, there will be a protest in front of 2300 E. Kensington in Shorewood where. The fundraiser for Stone starts at 5:30 or please plan to be there by 5:00. More details to follow.
These people are not only padding their own pockets through increased salaries and benefits with our money they are also using our money to crush their opposition. Their opposition is us, the ones paying them.

SENT VIA FASCIMILE AND REGULAR MAIL
Dear Mr. Ellis:
As you undoubtedly know, Governor Walker recently proposed a “budget adjustment bill” to eviscerate public employees’ right to collectively bargain in Wisconsin. Collective bargaining has maintained labor peace between public employers and employees for more than 50 years, and according to every poll taken in the last few weeks, it enjoys overwhelming public support. In refusing to accept the willingness of many of the unions to be flexible on economic matters, Governor Walker has made it clear that his bill is really aimed at union busting, rather than “putting the state’s fiscal house in order.” This revelation has caused Wisconsin citizens to hold massive demonstrations at the State Capitol and throughout Wisconsin in adamant opposition to Governor Walker’s attempt to destroy collective bargaining. Never before in our State’s history have we witnessed such a massive and continued outpouring of opposition to any governor or issue.
As you also know, Scott Walker did not campaign on this issue when he ran for office. If he had, we are confident that you would not be listed among his largest contributors. As such, we are contacting you now to request your support. The undersigned groups would like your company to publicly oppose Governor Walker’s efforts to virtually eliminate collective bargaining for public employees in Wisconsin. While we appreciate that you may need some time to consider this request, we ask for your response by March 17. In the event that you do not respond to this request by that date, we will assume that you stand with Governor Walker and against the teachers, nurses, police officers, fire fighters, and other dedicated public employees who serve our communities.
In the event that you cannot support this effort to save collective bargaining, please be advised that the undersigned will publicly and formally boycott the goods and services provided by your company. However, if you join us, we will do everything in our power to publicly celebrate your partnership in the fight to preserve the right of public employees to be heard at the bargaining table. Wisconsin’s public employee unions serve to protect and promote equality and fairness in the workplace. We hope you will stand with us and publicly share that ideal
In the event you would like to discuss this matter further, please contact the executive Director of the Wisconsin Professional Police Association, Jim Palmer, at 608.273.3840.
Thank you in advance for your consideration. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

The Dead Jap Fundraiser For Big Gov
"make Professor Friedman spin in his grave … and the Tea Party be damned."
The lie is falling. The lie is falling. If only we had big government to stop this deadly rain of destruction. If only! If only we had a law, another bureaucrat and an all encompassing government to meet every contingency of every problem that just might come our way. Maybe we need comet commissars to prowl our streets and homes to ensure we are properly prepared for the day. You must see that it is only logical.
Let’s hear it for building codes, health and safety regulations, mandatory standards for public education, and all sorts of helpful government intervention that would make Professor Friedman spin in his grave … and the Tea Party be damned.
This piece, from the Chronicle of Higher Education, merely a defense for their actions in Madison, Columbus and an ever growing list of capitols that have grown weary of their childish demands that they be treated as an equal, but super special group within our dying economy, is indicative of just how entrenched they believe they have made themselves.
So they chant, dance and play drums bolstered by articles such as this to raise "awareness" to their plight. Plights take money and this article is nothing more than a plight-fighting money raiser.
There should be a teachable moment here, but how do teachers teach when they are refusing to be taught by their employers. Their employers have gone broke being taught how special special groups they are. We have no more money.
God have mercy on the Japanese suffering, but Higher Ed doesn't want the dead to waste their deadness so they are just borrowing them for a little lesson-pep talk and a fundraiser.
These are your teachers. Learn from them.

Man Plans, God Laughs
From Yid With Lid and his post is pretty funny in an ironic way. He quotes:
Shortly after she stepped down from her position as Prime Minister Golda Meir toured the US. In talking about the advantages in resources the Arab states had over Israel, she blamed Moses. Too bad, that after leading his people across the miraculously parted Red Sea, he did not turn right—to where the oil was—but instead turned left. But now Moses' sense of direction is making a comeback.
YID With LID: Israel May Have as Much Oil As Saudi Arabia-Moses WAS Right.
Mohammad gonna be po'd. The Islamofascists might just have their heads explode without the use of explosives. Irony is so wonderful. May each and every one enjoy their 72 Virginians. I hope one of their reward is Patrick Henry. He'd bitch slap them back to the stone age.
I think God is laughing. A big belly laugh.

Does The Media Have Shame? No, They're Shameless Liars.
Stories the media has spiked to create a meme of lies.
Unions plan more protests and a recall effort, as authorities ID death threat sender.
ABC, CBS, MSNBC, NBC and NPR Ignore Death Threats to Wisconsin Republicans.
Union mobocracy drowns out democracy in Wisconsin.
Video of Friday’s slaying of Jews by Palestinians banned by YouTube and Facebook.
If public-sector unions continue to fight for concessions from states, American workers will pay the price.
Video: Wisconsin Protesters Surround Bus With Republican Senators, Bang on Windows and Doors.
The stories purposely not covered are endless and they have one thing in common. They might hurt Democrats.
The media is not really media. They are hacks, union members and supporters and paid partisans of Democrats, especially leftist Democrats and those that are working to illegally alter America.

Who Is Lying: What Really Happened In Madison Wisconsin
On Wisconsin!
How Republicans won the battle of Madison.
It was Wednesday, March 9, and Governor Walker had decided to visit the Wisconsin State
Capitol before he headed off to give his “Ag Day” speech that afternoon.
Walker figured he had been very patient. Four weeks earlier he had proposed his budget repair bill, and he had the votes to pass it. But one week after that, all 14 Democratic state senators fled to Illinois to deny Republicans the quorum they thought necessary to hold a vote on the legislation. In the days that followed, top Republican legislators and senior aides to Walker spoke regularly with Democrats in an effort to forge a compromise—several times believing that they had reached a tentative understanding that would allow the senate to take up the controversial measure, only to have the agreement collapse. The more this happened the less likely a compromise seemed.
Read the rest HERE. How much longer will the unions, including the media unions, continue to outright lie about what has happened in Wisconsin?

5th Column Support For WH Lies
Obama Lied, Last Vestige of Press Credibility Died
Barry held a press conference on March 11, 2011 and just made stuff up which had no basis in fact whatsoever. The media who were in attendance said not a word to question his obvious blatant lies. Not a single member of the press questioned him about litany dire issues facing our country and the world either.
Read the rest HERE. It's actually quite appalling. Earlier post HERE.
The big guy ought to go for it all and announce that America is sound and profitable because his support for rugged individualism has made us the leader in all areas of defense, energy production, heavy manufacturing and in all other categories. Then with the full support of union leaders he can announce that he is going to reduce taxes by 25% and reduce the size of government by 20%. The MSM will report it as gospel and even more visionary than vision itself. Chris Matthews, on air, will piddle down his other leg and call it rain. Fairies will have their own union with unicorn support and the Democrat Party is the only true friend of the taxpayer.
He actually is not that far from saying that because 2012 is nearly here, eh?
Barry held a press conference on March 11, 2011 and just made stuff up which had no basis in fact whatsoever. The media who were in attendance said not a word to question his obvious blatant lies. Not a single member of the press questioned him about litany dire issues facing our country and the world either.
Read the rest HERE. It's actually quite appalling. Earlier post HERE.
The big guy ought to go for it all and announce that America is sound and profitable because his support for rugged individualism has made us the leader in all areas of defense, energy production, heavy manufacturing and in all other categories. Then with the full support of union leaders he can announce that he is going to reduce taxes by 25% and reduce the size of government by 20%. The MSM will report it as gospel and even more visionary than vision itself. Chris Matthews, on air, will piddle down his other leg and call it rain.

The US Has Only 2% Of The World's Oil Lie
I read this on Pundit & Pundette and it speaks for itself.
"We can't escape the fact that we control only 2% of the world's oil." This is a common refrain among anti-drilling Democrats and environmentalists, and it's repeated enough that many people accept it as true. In reality, it's 100% false. The number comes from a highly conservative estimate from the Energy Information Administration totaling America's proven reserves where we are already drilling. It does not include the 10 billion barrels available in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. It does not include most of the 86 billion barrels available offshore in the Outer Continental Shelf, most of which President Obama has placed under an executive drilling ban. And it does not include the 800 billion barrels of oil we have locked in shale in Wyoming, Utah, and Colorado. Those shale resources alone are actually three times larger than the proven reserves of Saudi Arabia, so the claim that the U.S. only has 2% of the world's oil is clearly false.
