They have a blog. After some of the experiences that TUFF McFU went through with the unions, union tactics are nothing less than underhanded. They are not looking for a straight up deal, they are trying to appeal to your greed and fear in order to get you to sign up. Once you are in your are stuck. Sure, the UAW got huge pay and such for workers at the Big Three. And you are now seeing the fruits of their labor, total annihilation.

That Is Irony
Indeed:
Chapter 11, bust the union, end of troubles. What is wrong with that plan?
NY Times Funny Of The Day
This is hilarious:
LOL! Mr. Vlasic, were you even alive back then? Fuel-efficient? Yes, given the lighter, under powered vehicles they produced. High-quality vehicles? Oh please! Datsuns came in three colors rusted, horribly rusted, and rust pile. The metal would last about six months before being perforated by reduction-oxidation. High-quality they were not. But that Japanese manufacturers did not just keep making crap, they adapted and overcame.
And now they have overcome the American automotive industry. Why? Because of the two factors that GM, Ford, and Chrysler cannot control in building cars, the unions and the government. When an autoworking union forklift operator makes $103,000 a year in the US while the average wage for forklift operators across the country is $26,000, then the government backed unions are going to kill the hell out of the auto industry. You can thank the draconian laws that permit the unions to operate the way they do for the collapse of this industry.
All Right You Global Warming Wackos!
This is not the best way to sway someone in an argument, but dang it, this issue is so full of people jumping off in the wrong direction that it makes suicidal lemmings seem shy, reserved, and steadfast in comparison. SLAPSHOT sent over a link on the GROWTH OF SEA ICE. That is correct, growth, of, sea, ice. But even this article has some of the most atrocious use of the written English language, and this criticism from a man who does not consider himself highly skilled in the art. Consider:
That anomaly had been negative, indicating ice loss, for most of the current decade and reached a historic low in 2007.
That is correct, folks. The amount of sea ice apparently hit an historic low in 2007. HISTORIC! LOW! And Webster’s defines historic as:
a: famous or important in history <historic battlefields> b: having great and lasting importance <a historic occasion> c: known or established in the past <historic interest rates> d: dating from or preserved from a past time or culture <historic buildings> <historic artifacts>
So this sounds important, an HISTORIC LOW IN SEA ICE (doom, doom)! But the article itself points out that the vast history of recording the amount of global sea ice as been going on for nearly ten thousand, five hundred, ninety-two days. Indeed! The numerous bureaucrats in the sea ice amount measuring community have been collecting data on the amount of global sea ice in the seas all around the globe for nearly a whopping 30 years. For a total of thirty seasonal cycles it has been determined that the low point in thirty data samples should be considered a RECORD HISTORIC LOW. Mr. Fu has spend more time writing this article to this points than it would require him to analyze and reduce this data.
And here it the crusher in all of this. The source of all the doom and gloom about the impending man-made global wamring disaster are just computer models that keep getting it wrong:
“Not anticipated by any current climate model?” What the heck does that mean? The computer models are not anticipating correctly? I thought these models were created by the most brilliant minds! How could they have deceived us so, with their faulty computer models? What other predictions are they getting wrong? The predictions of an ever rising, Earth killing temperature increase? Of Obama’s ability to single handedly make the economy better?
1933
There is a distinct 1933 feel about this point in America. I hope we are vastly wrong on this. But Hayek had very interesting things to say about the ways of democracy not preventing totalitarianism….
What Will Not Work
Farah Was Not And Is Not Wrong About McCain
Unfortunately. Farah is right, McCain’s lack of setting the record straight on the hacks in his campaign with regards to Sarah Palin only highlights all the issues we have had with McCain all these years. RINOs will be RINOs Mr. Fu supposes.
No Taxation Without Representation
Is this idea entirely dead? So what happens when a majority of the voters do not pay taxes? Do the minority tax payers really have representation at that point?
