Natural Selection:

Morons run generators, and in one case, a charcoal grill, inside their homes. I don’t see the problem here — natural selection at work!

Teachers' Unions

Teachers' Unions:

Most of you probably know how I feel about teachers’ unions, but this e-mail from the Washington Teachers’ Union is just amazing:

WTU Members,

I have just received notification from Chancellor Rhee that all DC Public Schools will be closed on tomorrow. Thank you for supporting the WTU in our efforts to have the Mayor and Chancellor close DC Public Schools on tomorrow. Your calls to the office of the Mayor and Chancellor expressing your disagreement and outrage has resulted in success! Please read the DCPS Communication below.

In Solidarity
George Parker

“…on tomorrow.” “…on tomorrow.” “Your calls…has resulted…” I hope the president of the teachers’ union was’t ever/isn’t still a teacher.
