- Reminds Me Of My Wife

My wife is smaller and a brunette, and speaks with a slight Hungarian accent when she's angry, but you get the idea.

When our local school board was deciding to get rid of it's unionized janitors in favor an outside contractor at a fraction of the price, they had public hearings on the issue. It was filled with all the usual suspects; NEA members, union hacks from other districts, SIEU and CWU crowds from Trenton in support of more money for less work; and they all took their turn at the microphone. The only person who spoke up in favor of the board acting responsibly and getting rid of the union, was my wife.

The police escorted her to her car but she didn't care. Two weeks later, out the union went.

Some times the good guys win.
