Time to rein in unions

If you needed a clear picture of why Unions need to be severely restricted and held to a higher standard, read this story.
It is bad enough that unions have saddled us with crushing debt through unfunded pension liabilities while guaranteeing themselves early retirements and unbelievable job security while garnering compensation far in excess of similar jobs in the private sector.
But even worse is the pervasive attitude of power and entitlement.
When unions think it is acceptable for them to shut down transportation and vital supplies in order to secure insulation from real world difficulties (thereby doubling the pain of those on the hook for their comfortable lifestyle), they show how incredibly dangerous they have become.

Union leaders and thugs who commit or allow crimes like those being committed in Europe and in the Mediterranean, should be jailed for their actions.

AZ has stones when it comes to power

An Arizona electric power commissioner offered to "help" LA to "divest" itself of power generated in Arizona.
I love it!
The idiots in Sacramento and LA as well as the idiots at PERS and STRS are always divesting themselves of politically incorrect investments (no matter the cost to retirees), and California has forced power companies to offer people the option to buy "clean" power, so why not allow them to not get power from Arizona if they feel so strongly?

Power Pointless

If you thought the Power Point diagram of the new healthcare was confusing, check out the diagram of the Afghan situation.
As one General put it: "Power Point makes us stupid!"

Let's start a solar farm!

From the American Thinker:
How do you take maximum advantage of artificially hight prices paid for solar power you generate at your solar "farm"?
You hook up some diesel generators and run them at night when no one will (hopefully) notice.
