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.

Happy Hug a Government Worker Day
When we think of Labor Day we think of assembly line workers, guys in hard hats on constructions sites, or big burly truck drivers. But the real face of American labor in 2010 is the clerk at the DMV.
This Labor Day marks a milestone in the history of the U.S. union movement. It is the first Labor Day on which a majority of union members in the United States work for the government. In January the Department of Labor reported that union membership in government has overtaken that in the private sector. Three times as many union members work in the Post Office as in the entire domestic auto industry.
No wonder Rahm Emanuel said, "Fuck the UAW." When it comes to union power, the Purple People Beaters of the SEIU are tougher than the Teamsters now.
Building up the public employee union empire is Job One for the Obama Administration. That's why they used a recent report to the United Nations to equate the reluctance of Congress to pass Card Check legislation with human rights abuses in North Korea.
So this Labor Day, if Obama hasn't stimulated you out of a job (yet), take a
moment from your backyard barbecue festivities to ask a government worker to
thank you. The fruits of your labor enable him to
live high on the hog while you scrape by on Hamburger Helper™.
