The Party of "No"
Technorati and Me
Technorati is indexing me again! They had to make a code change to fix the problem with my blog getting stuck in their queue. Kudos to Eric M. and the guys at GetSatisfaction.com where they have "community powered support for Technorati".
Well, they're "sorta, kinda" indexing me anyway. It's on a 24 hour tape delay or something. So I never get picked up by Memeorandum because they pull from Technorati and Technorati has stuff I posted yesterday listed as my latest blog entry. And that's old news to Memeorandum.
Wankers.

What do an R.I. teachers union and air traffic controllers have in common?
They both balked at minor changes in their work rules, and they both got fired en masse for their recalcitrance.
Cranial-rectal syndrome is endemic in teachers unions. None more so it seems than the unionized teachers in Central Falls, Rhode Island.
The Superintendent is trying to fix an abysmally bad school system. She asked the teachers to work 25 more minutes per day, eat lunch with students once a week, and help with tutoring.
The union said "get stuffed".
So she fired every last one of their greedy asses.
Anyone here see a similarity between this union and the NJEA? How about New Jersey's other public employee unions? NJEA President Barbara Keshishian had better take heed. Hetty Rosenstein and David Weiner of the CWA are two of the most combative public employee union heads in the state. Will they risk their members' jobs in a showdown with Governor Chris Christie?
Public employees are no longer the underpaid second-stringers their unions continue to say they are. Salaries and benefits in the public sector now routinely outpace private industry.
Sure, a disparity like the one in Central Falls, R.I. is extreme. Still it shows just how out of touch the unions are. And when you're that out of touch you're likely to soon be out of a job.
