Honestly, I'm surprised OK would've allowed collective bargaining for anyone in the first place.

Is the author in 8th grade?

"In Indiana, Mitch Daniels has tabled an effort to bust public sector unions there. In Ohio, Czar Kashitch I is almost certain to be told, sometime soon, to cut it the f out by Ruspubliscum bigwigs who don't want to lose a chance at gaining Ohio in the 2012 Presidential election cycle. In Florda, Czar Rick Scott has shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don' see nuthin' wrong with Yeunyeons."

8th grade level - difficult to say - was it too hard to understand??  Probably was then.

We need a Wisconsin-style protest here, if for no other reason so I can see this sort of brilliance on display in Oklahoma.



Or this (at 7:30). Warning: Language and confusing sexual identity/homophobia issues

As I understand it, Guido, there will be a protest march in OKC over this anti-union legislation, but I don't know when it will be held.

But I really did like this photo.  I think it may see myriad uses.

Unfortunately, it implies that the cavemen are coming from elsewhere, not that they are already here.  ;D
