Had lunch with some repugs. I am a life long Union guy. He called me a Union thug. I thanked him and told him I am a proud Union thug!

I've been a member of AFSCME for 32 years. Proud to have served on my local's executive board and as president.

I really got a kick out of the news thing getting popped. You want pansies go to the pta, you come to the union with other thoughts.

And I was at the capital yesterday. We were laughing at some of the reports of violence that were reported right where we were standing. It was peaceful where I was, loud yes, angry yes, possibly irreverent yes, but I saw no violence. By the way, the State police were great to us.

So who will star in the remake of Capra's classic titled, "It's A Wonderful Thug Life"?

How dare they demand enough pay to pay the rent, the bills and have something to eat.

Now the just the facts story is filed. The more feature like one...racking my head. I guess another cup of coffee is in order.

By the way all this walking means I will need a new pair f shoes soon.

I got my walking shoes...

How about our government? Among the most violent in the world right now and considered to be the biggest threat to world peace?

Union thugs don't kill people, so I'm fine with them.

keep jobs within the union - the right loves to harp on union corruption. So it's not an insult to take on as a mantle. Counter them with facts rather than "admitting" that unions have had violent members in the past.
