Who Are These People?
Okay... so Matt Drudge had found several interesting articles. My unwelcomed opinion precedes the link to the articles and quotes.
Don't Speak Spanish? Get Out!
Here we have a guy in Florida who's losing the lease where he runs his business because he doesn't speak Spanish. As wrong as the landlord is (in my opinion), he does have the right as a private business owner to impose his will. I can only imagine the furor if the tables were reversed here?
Pelosi's Liberal Taxers Levy Taxes on Big Oil
Next we have my favorite liberal, Nancy Pelosi, vomiting non sequitur sound bytes. The House, in its infinite wisdom, decided to approve a tax on oil companies. Now, you might think this is a good idea, but it's just another way of the government to tax us.
This article left me fuming. These libs have decided to FORCE private industry to find new fuel sources. In this day and age who wouldn't LOVE to be the first to market with a revolutionary new fuel source? Any company with such revolutionary technology would be infinitely rich. But it hasn't happened. And as novel as it is to pour corn syrup into your paperweight Prius, this country is run on oil. Why? Because it is the most effective fuel source we have. Period. You can't haul trailer loads of goods around the nation with a Prius. It takes big rigs, trains, and ships - and they don't run on hugs and hope, people. So learn to love oil until someone comes up with a better alternative.
Below I've posted one of Pelosi's comments. Some how by taxing oil companies we're being futuristic? I don't know, I never quite understand what she's getting at.
Bloggers Want to Unionize. Why? Who's Exploiting You?
Okay... somewhere along the line folks like Susie Madrak came to the misguided conclusion that they're entitled. They're entitled because the life they've chosen for themselves is fraught with little idiosyncrasies that we just don't understand. But, have no fear, if we pay them for their lifestyle choice, then everything will be alright.
If bloggers can make a living blogging about politics (or whatever), then good for them. If not? Then get a real job and go get some exercise! What I truly don't understand here is who these idiots want to organize against? Blogging in itself is a hobby or a personal choice. It's not as though you work in a factory with poor conditions. You CHOOSE to spend hours on the internet writing about things no one asked your opinion on. So, if you unionize, who are you unionizing against? Seriously, have you thought this through? Or maybe Nancy Pelosi is going to pay you to blog with the taxes from the Big Oil?
In the first quote below, Susie Madrak uses two of the words I most despise in the same sentence: "feel" and "entitled." I can't stand people basing decisions on feelings and the only people who are entitled to anything are veterans. Apparently blogging is too tough for her. The use of a mouse is wearing out her neck and shoulder. Really? I don't even know what to say.

"We are turning to the future," said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Bloggers Consider Forming Labor Union
[http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/070806/unionized_bloggers.html?.v=2]
"I think people have just gotten to the point where people outside the blogosphere understand the value of what it is that we do on the progressive side," said Susie Madrak, the author of Suburban Guerilla blog, who is active in the union campaign. "And I think they feel a little more entitled to ask for something now."
Madrak hopes that regardless the form, the labor movement ultimately will help bloggers pay for medical bills. It's important, she said, because some bloggers can spend hours a day tethered to computers as they update their Web sites.
"Blogging is very intense -- physically, mentally," she said. "You're constantly scanning for news. You're constantly trying to come up with information that you think will mobilize your readers. In the meantime, you're sitting at a computer and your ass is getting wider and your arm and neck and shoulder are wearing out because you're constantly using a mouse."
