A Short Story
I wish the first one would have said no, and to be honest, I don’t remember asking…weird.
What Will They Think Of Next?
Had some buddies get their coolers confiscated by an uppity golf course marshal, this may have helped.
The Irony Is Mindblowing
You just can’t make this shit up. SEIU staff has voted to go on strike. That’s right, apparently the union has another union backing it’s employees against the hated union boss. Worlds are colliding here, and the hypocrisy and irony can’t be understated.
The SEIU “Union” asked for concessions from SEIU Union staff, backed by the Communications Workers of America Union. So a Union is asking what a private owner would ask of it’s employees, but the SEIU is doing exactly what it would normally be striking against any other company. My goodness this shit is priceless, they are eating their own and they don’t even know it.
There’s nothing more embarrassing for union bosses than their own unionized staff striking against them or, in this case, threatening to strike.
In San Francisco, SEIU staff, represented by the left-wing Communications Workers of America, has been without a contract since their contract expired last September.
SEIU boss Roxanne Sanchez, according to the San Francisco Bay Guardian, is trying to get her union staff to give concessions on their pensions and health care.
Last week, after months without a contract, 94% of the SEIU’s own union staff voted to strike.
“We’re very much united in our position and our willingness to do what it takes to get a decent contract,” Peraino told us. Sayre told the Guardian, “There is widespread sentiment they’re being low-balled by management.”

Remember This
As Obama continues scaring the bejesus out of uninformed America with furloughs and layoffs of border patrol, air traffic control, education grants, and closing the socialist sanctuary White House, remember this small item below.
A 2011 Government Accountability Office report gave a sampling of the vastness of what could be cut, consolidated and rationalized in Washington: 44 overlapping job training programs, 18 for nutrition assistance, 82 (!) on teacher quality, 56 dealing with financial literacy, more than 20 for homelessness, etc. Total annual cost: $100 billion-$200 billion, about two to five times the entire domestic sequester.

Homeland Security Gearing Up
Good article from Forbes on ammunition and armored vehicles purchased by DHS. And considering the “Sequester Apocalypse”, he makes some valid points.
It is utterly inconceivable that Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano is planning a coup d’etat against President Obama, and the Congress, to install herself as Supreme Ruler of the United States of America. There, however, are real signs that the Department bureaucrats are running amok. About 20 years ago this columnist worked, for two years, in the U.S. Department of Energy’s general counsel’s office in its procurement and finance division. And is wise to the ways. The answer to “why would DHS need such a vehicle?” almost certainly is this: it’s a cool toy and these (reportedly) million dollar toys are being recycled, without much of a impact on the DHS budget. So… why not?
Why, indeed, should the federal government not be deploying armored personnel carriers and stockpiling enough ammo for a 20-year war in the homeland? Because it’s wrong in every way.
