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.

Corzine folds over union showdown with Joe Biden
Today was Primary Day in New Jersey. Incumbent Governor Jon Corzine easily cruised to the Democratic party nomination and he wanted to celebrate with Vice President Joe Biden in West Orange tonight. There was only one problem; state employee unions planned to picket the event over Corzine's imposition of furloughs and wage freezes. The White House indicated that VP Biden would not cross a union picket line.
Jon Corzine did what any politician in the pocket of the public employee unions would do — he folded like a cheap suit. A last-minute "compromise" was reached and the unions called off their protest. Presto! Joe Biden could safely make a campaign appearance for an embattled Friend of Obama.
The accord -- which the sources said includes a wage freeze, cutting the number of days workers will be furloughed, as well as adding some "bankable" personal days -- came amid mounting concerns that Biden, who came to bring some star power to the governor's first big campaign rally at the Codey Arena in West Orange, would refuse to cross picket lines.
Got that? Fewer furlough days. "Bankable" personal days added back in. Way to go Jon, that's a win for the taxpayers! At least you got what you wanted!
That's New Jersey: government of the unions, by the unions, and for the unions.
