While I’m no fan of Mickey Kaus, he’s dead on when in this rant against Obama, Barbara Boxer, and California’s public unions:
What Obama and Boxer don’t seem to realize is that they—like Corzine and Coakley–are on the wrong end a taxpayer rebellion. For decades, Californians paid high taxes but got good services in return: good schools and roads, an excellent university system. But now, after favor after favor to the unions from their pliant political pawns, we have bloated payrolls, unfireable teachers who are the highest-paid in the nation, state workers who retire at 55 and make more money not working than when they were working.
We’re paying high taxes but we’re getting low services. Worse, the unions’ pay-today-forget-about-tomorrow attitude failed to plan for an economic downturn. As a result, the state and many cities and towns are looking into the abyss of insolvency.
I hope Mickey beats Boxer in the primary — if for no other reason that Babs Boxer is a despicable and vile person whom, if her hair was on fire, I’d piss on her legs. But Mickey doesn’t have a chance, simply because of statements like this one:
The only way to save the Democratic party is to have nominees who can stand up to the unions and tell them “no,” and bring some balance back into the system.
Mickey is of course right — but there’s no way he’s going to win as a Democrat while alienating the union thugs.

Some obese union piece of shit threatening lawmakers. Real class act. Fucking Barney the Dinosaur lookalike cunt.
She is well pleased with herself, isn’t she?
From Kraus’ article:
That’s the problem and yet the donks don’t understand why so many are fed up.
As for Bab’s, unlike you Robbie, if her hair was on fire I would offer a can of hairspray.
From Rush’s stack of stuff.
New York City Residents Brace for Doorman Strike, from the NYSlimes.
Doormen, federal government workers, California teachers … Where did I go wrong???
