AP, NYT Downplaying and Ignoring Mass. Move to Limit Union Health
Bargaining
Filed under: Economy,MSM Biz/Other Bias,MSM Biz/Other Ignorance,Taxes &
Government — TBlumer @ 7:52 pm

Gosh, after Republican Governors Scott Walker and John Kasich succeeded
in championing legislation curtailing many collective bargaining rights
of unionized state and municipal employees in Wisconsin and Ohio,
respectively, the establishment press had the meme all set. The GOP,
conservatives, and Tea Partiers are enemies of labor and the middle
class, while Democrats, liberals, and progressives are their champions.

Then along comes bluer-than-blue Massachusetts. As the Boston Globe
reports, the Bay State's House "voted overwhelmingly last night
(Tuesday) to strip police officers, teachers, and other municipal
employees of most of their rights to bargain over health care, saying
the change would save millions of dollars for financially strapped
cities and towns." It's not a law yet, but it seems to be heading pretty
quickly in that direction.

The Associated Press's beat reporters and editors must be beside
themselves. Despite having nationalized Wisconsin-based
collective-bargaining stories since February, three searches
("Massachusetts health," Massachusetts union," and "Massachusetts
unions," all not in quotes) indicate that the wire service was still
carrying nothing relating to the Bay State's situation at its main
national site as of 7:30 this evening.

The AP's Massachusetts local wire carried two stories, one at 11:13 p.m.
Tuesday night, plus a six-paragraph unbylined story at 5:05 p.m. today,
which read in part:

Mass. Gov.: "Dial down rhetoric" on union fight

Gov. Deval Patrick is urging both sides to "dial down the rhetoric" over
a plan to sharply limit the collective bargaining power of public
employees over their health insurance.

Patrick said Wednesday it's important to pass a bill to ease the health
care burden on communities while guaranteeing labor a seat at the table.

Union officials are furious at House Speaker Robert DeLeo after
lawmakers backed the plan late Tuesday.

Does anyone remember AP reporters Scott Bauer or Todd Richmond in
Wisconsin relaying advisories to dial down the rhetoric from Scott
Walker? I didn't think so. But Obama bud Deval Patrick "somehow" gets a
bit of deference from AP. No matter; he's on board with doing much of
what Scott Walker just did, and to public safety workers as well, whom
Walker exempted from certain of the Wisconsin law's provisions.

Meanwhile, at the New York Times, the same three searches done at 7:45
this evening ("Massachusetts health," "Massachusetts union,"
"Massachusetts unions,") returned nothing relevant.

The establishment press is probably too busy picking their collective
jaws up off the floor, utterly astonished that the past two months of
bashing sensible conservatives as heartless enemies may be on the verge
of being rendered useless. Trying to bottle the news up is their only
recourse.

This is 2011, guys and gals. Thanks to Drudge and others, that's mostly
not going to happen.

Mac Daddy - 8 hours ago
Hoover Dam was designed, excavated, and built by a consortium of six
major private sector construction companies known as "Six Companies,
Inc.". The ONLY thing Congress did was to authorize construction of the
dam and appropriate the funds necessary via the Boulder Canyon Project
Act of 1928. See section 2 of that act for the financial details. All of
the planning and construction was left to the private contractors. Six
Companies did the job so well that it completed the project two years
ahead of schedule.

In contrast, to see a glaring example of pure government leadership, you
need look no farther than "Ground Zero" in NYC. More than a decade has
passed since 911 and that place is still nothing more than an ugly
miserable mud pit with NO plans whatsoever for the future. Mayor
Bloomberg heads that dead-end government-run project.

MJ: Those who live waiting for hand-outs from government violate the
Spirit of the Constitution (or New Constitution) which is: "Fair play
and democracy shall have supremacy in the USA!" So, their collective
"will" to take from without giving anything in return has been
stripped of any power. Anyone in government who violates the spirit
of the Constitution will either be FIRED (in the case of employees) or
hanged for TREASON, in the case of elected officials. So, my
democracy-on-demand Republic can NEVER evolve to be socialist or
communist! — J. A. A. —

And the common force that protects this collective right cannot logically have any other purpose or any other mission than that for which it acts as a substitute.

No one would have any argument with government, provided that his person was respected, his labor was free, and the fruits of his labor were protected against all unjust attack.

The state would be felt only by the invaluable blessings of safety provided by this concept of government.

Excellent economic method; Obama must be applying the same strategy.

 



 

An old one but worth another showing!!

 

 

It is a slow day in a damp little Irish town. The rain is beating down and the streets are deserted. Times are tough, everybody is in debt, and everybody lives on credit. On this particular day a rich German tourist is driving through the town, stops at the local hotel and lays a €100 note on the desk, telling the hotel owner he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs in order to pick one to spend the night. The owner gives him some keys and, as soon as the visitor has walked upstairs, the hotelier grabs the €100 note and runs next door to pay his debt to the butcher. The butcher takes the €100 note and runs down the street to repay his debt to the pig farmer. The pig farmer takes the €100 note and heads off to pay his bill at the supplier of feed and fuel. The guy at the Farmers' Co-op takes the €100 note and runs to pay his drinks bill at the pub. The publican slips the money along to the local prostitute drinking at the bar, who has also been facing hard times and has had to offer him "services" on credit. The hooker then rushes to the hotel and pays off her room bill to the hotel owner with the €100 note. The hotel proprietor then places the €100 note back on the counter so the rich traveller will not suspect anything. At that moment the traveller comes down the stairs, picks up the €100 note, states that the rooms are not satisfactory, pockets the money, and leaves town. No one produced anything. No one earned anything. However, the whole town is now out of debt and looking to the future with a lot more optimism. And that, Ladies and Gentlemen, is how the bailout package works.

Dear J. Ashley: You must be very gullible. Two wolves and a sheep
deciding what's for dinner is a "To the victor belongs the spoils
government", NOT a democracy! In a democracy, the individual has
VALUE that can't be exploited simply because there is a disagreement.
The present split-down-the-aisle Democrat vs. Republican game of
politics is nothing like a democracy. Take this example: 100 people
are sailing through a storm for America. The great danger causes the
100 people to vote whether or not to turn back or go on. 51 people
say, "Go on!". Does that mean that the 49 who wanted to turn back can
now have their possessions taken away, and to be put into servitude
for the good of the 51? Hell no! The winning of a vote NEVER allows
taking away the hard earned possessions of others. When someone wins
an election, their job is to represent ALL of their constituents, not
just the ones who voted for a given rascal! — J. A. Armistead —
Patriot

A holy war erupted yesterday at a Sikh temple in Queens -- where
worshippers wielding swords and cricket bats interrupted a prayer
session to attack their rivals in a vicious power struggle, police and
witnesses said.

Rival factions at the Baba Makhan Shah Lobana Sikh Center in South
Richmond Hill have been bickering for months over control, authorities
and members said.

The dispute reached a bloody climax yesterday when the infighting turned
violent, accompanied by screams, taunts and death threats.

The alleged attackers -- armed with at least one sword about 40 inches
long, and another sword, according to a witness -- were part of the old
guard that had been recently voted out of power but refused to accept
the decision, even going to court to challenge the election.

"We just went to pray," said M.K. Singh, who received stitches and
staples to close a head wound. "We walked inside, and they started
attacking.

"They cut me. They tried to cut my arm off, but the sword got caught on
[something]. I'm very lucky."

New temple President Gurmej Singh said he and his supporters had come to
pray despite knowing there could be trouble.

Police had been deployed outside the two-story center in case anything
happened, but the violence broke out inside.

The attackers brought the long sword and at least one other blade, as
well as a hammer, mallet and cricket bats to the temple at 101st Avenue
and 114th Street at around 11 a.m., witnesses and police said.

Three people were reported injured, including a cop who tried to
intervene, police said.

A witness said at least seven others were hurt as victims fought back.
None suffered life-threatening injuries.

Seven people were arrested, including Harinder Singh, 47, who was
charged with assault after allegedly punching a man in the eye. Others
were charged with unlawful assembly, resisting arrest, rioting, and
disrupting a religious service.

At the 102nd Precinct, where the suspects were processed, cops struggled
to keep the two sides apart.

"Something is behind this," said Gurmej Singh, who accused the old
regime of financial mismanagement. "It's money."

He said the perpetrators vowed to attack again next week.

I have some Sikhs living on my block. Wonder if this is the temple they
attend.

Commentary on The Capital Markets

#2 looks like AP took a printed copy and scanned it.  Fair enough.

But... you are not going to believe this....

Ah, the good doctor's name was David, right?  Looks like Sinclair for the last name, but I can't be certain.

Did a David Sinclair deliver a baby on that date?  Are you sure?

Uh, who delivered that baby again?  Rodney and David are...... not the same guy, and that doc's last name on the certificatemost certainly is not "West."

My my we've having fun this evening, aren't we?
