Oh my, was this perhaps the most important motivation for union leaders to oppose Gov. Walker of Wis.?

His law requires annual members’ vote in favor of remaining unionized, thus destabilizing . . . what? Leaders’ power. While requiring leaders to keep members happy.

Not enough Kenosha teachers were not happy, and poof! went their union.

Not quite, my hearties. She has a podium all to herself, sponsored by the Center for the Study of Justice in Society.

Justice has replaced patriotism as the last refuge of scoundrels, what?

Trouble in White House City.

U.S. Catholic, probably el supremo among liberal Catholic slicks (magazines), has this for a story in its current issue:

Environmentally conscious college students are changing the climate on Catholic campuses by pushing for more eco-friendly practices. And now their schools are following the course to help preserve the planet. [Italics added]

Really. Like peaches or blueberries, so they last through the winter, I guess. “The planet” won’t last through the coming global winter, or heat wave, whatever. It’s eco-talk by Al Gore followers. Yahoo for today’s students, I guess.

Hysteria? Not quite, but lemming-like behavior for those who know about Climate Change Reconsidered II: Physical Science, compliments of the Heartland Institute, where Chicago’s finest think-tankers offer what’s good for what ails these students.

It has:

Whereas the reports of the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) warn of a dangerous human effect on climate, NIPCC concludes the human effect is likely to be small relative to natural variability, and whatever small warming is likely to occur will produce benefits as well as costs.

Hmmm.

Politico “obsessively covers every twitch and shiver of Washington,” says NYT in Media and Advertising story about its doing the same for NY.

Now, is not that a catty remark?

North and Clinton?

Police charged Gregory Guzzo, 55, with driving under the influence of alcohol near the intersection of North and Clinton Avenues. Officers responded to a caller’s report of a reckless driver in the 7900 block of North Avenue. about 4:50 p.m. He was charged with a misdemeanor DUI, police said.

It Patch says so, it must be accurate, right?

WRONG.

There’s a Clinton, but not north of South Blvd.

It’s in a canon law petition filed in the Archdiocese of Washington by author William Peter Blatty, of Exorcist fame, and “alumni, students, parents and faculty, seeking a remedy to Georgetowns weak Catholic identity,” in which a Georgetown graduate recalled:

“My Catholic lifestyle and convictions were sometimes attacked by student organizations and staff members, themselves underpinned by tacit and even explicit University endorsement.

Far beyond nuanced scrutiny or respectful debate, my convictions, especially those regarding the dignity of human life, were instead the subject of sweeping condemnation, even at University-sponsored events. . . . I sometimes felt betrayed by a campus culture which discouraged faithfulness, even while banners everywhere touted the ideal of faith in action.”

“Underpinned by tacit and even explicit University endorsement.” That hurts.

Mainstream liberal news people find their lasting home in gummint.

One can only hope they will be happy there.
