As the member of a large national government employment union I can say public employment unions are a cancer to their employers. 75% of the function of a public employee union's role is ensuring inept employees don't get fired for their incompetence. The other 25% of their time is consumed … [Read more...]

If I was to suppose as to the most popular defense of elective abortion, it would be some variation of bodily autonomy -- It's a woman's body to do with what she chooses.

One thing I can appreciate about Jon Stewart is that even though he is unabashedly a liberal, he can still find fault in Democrats. In my tenure as a blogger of politics, I have seen more than my fair share (get it...fair share!?) of lost irony on liberals. Whether it's rightfully recognizing that … [Read more...]
