Indiana Dems have fled the state to do hookers and lines of coke with the Wisconsin Dems.
You're totally making that up.
Not totally.
They have fled the state to keep Republicans there from passing any anti-union laws (and it's always possible that they're doing hookers and coke). They say they aren't coming back until the current bills are taken off the table. They're gonna hang in Illinois for as long as it takes.
Who knew Illinois was the place to hide?
Right?
Anyway, it's going to be an interesting year in politics, it appears. Unfortunately, I don't have time to really go into it today.
So, I'll leave you with this bit of wisdom from one of the articles on Indiana union fun:
"With so much unemployment, this is not the time to take away worker protections," said Atherton-Childress, whose husband Norm Childress is a retired union carpenter.
Poor Carina (whose husband is Norm Childress). The author of the article, Mary Wisniewski, must feel bad for Carina too because this is where the article ends. The quote from Carina is the final thought. Ms. Wisniewski must not have had the heart to tell Carina that unions eat their young.
I've heard that.
It's getting around.
If poor Carina ever gets an Internet connection, she'll learn that where the unions have fought and won, governments have laid off workers, sometimes nearly 50% of some departments. Right now, you can have one or the other, protection of state worker entitlements or employment. You aren't going to get both, Carina dear.
Poor thing.
So sad, I know.
