Pride Goeth Before The Fall
Or, “‘Puter Is Always Right: Unions Overplay Their Hand Again.”
Here’s a little roundup of union news from around teh intarwebs that you may have missed if you were out having a life this weekend.
Support for labor unions falls below 50% for the first time since polling started in 1936.
Labor unions are using front companies to funnel money to Democrat candidates in New York.
Union bullying through the card check legislation (EFCA) has resulted in negative popular reaction. Or not, but unions are still hated. Read the compare/contrast piece here.
Government unions (organized against the taxpayers) have resulted in a wage gap of $30,000 between the average government worker and the average private sector worker.
President Obama works for the unions, not for you.
The Gormogons’ secret plan to destroy unions from within continues apace.
Always right, unless he isn’t, the infallible Ghettoputer F. X. Gormogons claims to be an in-law of the Volgi, although no one really believes this.
’Puter carefully follows economic and financial trends, legal affairs, and serves as the Gormogons’ financial and legal advisor. He successfully defended us against a lawsuit from a liquor distributor worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in unpaid deliveries of bootleg shandies.
The Geep has an IQ so high it is untestable and attempts to measure it have resulted in dangerously unstable results as well as injuries to researchers. Coincidentally, he publishes intelligence tests as a side gig.
His sarcasm is so highly developed it borders on the psychic, and he is often able to insult a person even before meeting them. ’Puter enjoys hunting small game with 000 slugs and punt guns, correcting homilies in real time at Mass, and undermining unions. ’Puter likes to wear a hockey mask and carry an axe into public campgrounds, where he bursts into people’s tents and screams. As you might expect, he has been shot several times but remains completely undeterred.
He assures us that his obsessive fawning over news stories involving women teachers sleeping with young students is not Freudian in any way, although he admits something similar once happened to him. Uniquely, ’Puter is unable to speak, read, or write Russian, but he is able to sing it fluently.
Geep joined the order in the mid-1980s. He arrived at the Castle door with dozens of steamer trunks and an inarticulate hissing creature of astonishingly low intelligence he calls “Sleestak.” Ghettoputer appears to make his wishes known to Sleestak, although no one is sure whether this is the result of complex sign language, expert body posture reading, or simply beating Sleestak with a rubber mallet.
‘Puter suggests the Czar suck it.
