where the boys are...

never send a boy to do a man's job....

everytime I try to google the Californians for Public Union Reform, I get taken to either a Libertarian or Republican website..so I don't think the CPUR is a cyber-cohesive group..but I do know some of the players write lots of letters and opinions to the News-Press...they run straight to Mommy Warbucks to get their message out..I on the other hand am a poor lowly blogger and all I have is my computer and creative writing skills to out these little motherfuckers.. so we know that Lanny is one of them..and now another guy has popped into my radar..his name is Justin Ruhge and he lives in Lompoc..

speaking of places where you live, I see that former Valley boy Mike Stoker now lives in Carpinteria (!) according to a newsblurb about him in the N-P joining the Zona Seca board, maybe to be closer to pal Joey..remember...after Travis and Joe got caught for wet and reckless drunk driving, they went to Zona Seca to dry out and get some help...and Joe joined the board..so is Zona Seca a nonprofit for drunken political hacks? or as Joe may have called them "ignorant Mexicans"!!

I don't know about this but I'll be investigating the sitch real soon..I believe in a free exchange of ideas, not a free flow of booze!! and why are all these politico pals being recycled thru the local nonprofits!! substance abuse is a serious issue so make sure the treatment is not administered by a bunch of hacks!!
Mike's also a part of the CPUR but I'm not sure in what capacity yet..for now I'll just call him a cheerleader for Team Wendy..and a friend to ignorant Mexicans..he's got an initiative brewing requiring any county office holder "who receives more than $2500 or $5000 from a contributing entity to abstain on voting on issues involving that entity"....ie, union contracts...

boy, the unions got these boyz spooked and that is one stupid initiative..if a supe gets $5000 in campaign contributions, he can't vote on issues!!?? what about all the money they get from taxpayers to pay the $80000/year salary? does that mean that supervisors can't vote on issues in their district?? no wonder Mikey keeps losing elections..he's a dummy!!

anyway back to Justin..an old dude with a bad attitude..he's also a teabagger...and his opinion in the Sunday N-P was typically ignorant about unions..."unions extort dues from the workers so they can hold their jobs, then use the money to promote their own agenda" say Ruhge...now I've heard this nonsense before and it sounds like a broken record...what really happens is the workers decide if they want a union...if you work for the city, you know going in it's a unionized workforce...you can leave anytime..the workers pay union dues..very true..but if you don't want to pay full dues, you can opt out and pay a smaller maintenance fee...the reason for this is when contracts are negotiated every three or four years, the worker who doesn't like the union still gets the benefit or raise negotiated by the guys who pay the dues..so why should the little scab get a raise and not pay some dues like I pay..they want a free ride because they have conservative tendencies...they want Team Wendy to support them...but that's not gonna happen....so in reality they have nothing to complain about... so you see, there's no extortion going on in the public unions...I want a pro-labor candidate and I'll work to elect that person!

now..here's two examples of real extortion: you marry a rich guy and divorce him a few years later, taking millions of dollars from him in the process...you didn't work for the money, you simply divorced for the money..that's like what Wendy did!! California's community property law is true extortion!!! and nonprofits, extorting money from people and governments to skip out of paying taxes!!
ok..let's see if we can help these boyz in extended adolescence become useful men...
