SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Taxpayers in Will County have offered its public employees a hefty pay raise and are willing to pick up 90 percent of the cost for their health insurance, but that’s not good enough for members of the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees Local 1028.
Its 1,300 members went on strike Monday, decrying a “paltry” offer from the county that would have given workers a 14.5 percent pay hike and have taxpayers pay for the overwhelming majority of their health insurance costs.
Read the whole thing, particularly the statements from the ASCME’s spokesman.
“Two Wisconsin public sector unions failed to achieve re-certification Thursday, the latest sign that Gov. Scott Walker’s sweeping reforms to the state’s rules for public employee unions are causing workers to abandon labor organizations..”
Here’s a WSJ article about the new World Chess Champion, 22-year-old Norwegian Magnus Carlsen, and how “the digital revolution has pushed human abilities to new heights.”
And if there’s any other chess players out there in SDA-land, here’s an interesting video analysis of game 9, which saw Carlsen employing the Nimzo-Indian defense..

“GISS Data Confirm Winters Definitely Getting Colder Over Northern Hemisphere Continents Since 1995!”
“Figure 1 is a zonal trend plot by month for the period 1995 to the present. Horizontal axis = months of the year Jan – Dec; vertical axis = latitude.
Note that temperatures for latitudes 40 to 60 degrees north are trending colder for most of the winter, from mid-November to mid-February, the coldest period for a month centered on the 1st of February. On the rim of Antarctica, the trending-colder month is June, the Antipodes mid-winter.
So, yes, winters are getting colder. Here is the corresponding map showing precisely where the winters are getting colder.” http://notrickszone.com/2013/11/24/giss-data-confirm-winters-definitely-getting-colder-over-northern-hemisphere-continents-since-1995/

The Liberal party is excusing their handling of Kenny’s sexual exploitation of women by saying that it was an e-mail problem. The CBC is reporting;
” Brisson sent the email on Aug. 22, 2013, Kate Purchase wrote in a statement to CBC News.
The same day, our office received a high volume of emails, [appoximately] 400, with the same subject line because of the Wright-Duffy affair,…”As well on the same day, we received an additional 70,000 emails regarding the situation in Syria,…” http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/liberals-blame-email-for-delay-in-six-harassment-claim-response-1.2437298
Whoa there little pony !
Are we to believe that you who proclaim to listen to the people have targetted any e-mails that include Duffy/Wright in the header are designated as ‘spam’?
And 70,000 e-mails about Syria ???
The friggin CBC accepts this BS without question.

http://www.nationalnewswatch.com/2013/11/24/harper-approved-plan-to-compel-duffy-to-repay-expenses-pmo/#.UpKDaMSkq9R
How could anyone write such a steaming pile of crap and put their name on it?
“Duffy and Wright face police allegations of bribery, breach of trust and fraud in connection with the fateful agreement. No charges have yet been laid.”
No charges will ever be laid against the PM. First, the PM appointed Duffy to the Senate, what does he have to do to bribe him? Breach of trust of what? Where is the fraud by the PMO or the PM?
“When asked how Wright proposed to “compel” Duffy to repay, whether there was some sort of ultimatum attached, MacDonald said it was just telling Duffy to repay. The opposition have ridiculed the suggestion that Harper’s permission was sought simply to have Duffy repay his own expenses.”
The media is going to try and make a case against the PM “compelling” Duffy to pay back the money he claimed in bad faith? If anyone was defrauding anyone it was Duffy. The PMO was telling him to pay back the money and take is lumps and shut TF up. Just say he made a mistake and move on. Giving money to Duffy to pay back his fraud is bribery? Bribing him to STFU with the media? So, if I give you $20 and tell you not to talk to the media this is bribery? Where is the gain for the PM? To keep him out of the paper?
Only in Canada is it a scandal where a Senator pays back money he wasn’t entitled. Only when it is a CPC senator and there are ties into the PMO and the media can try and link in the PM, who they hate.
Where is the Mac Harb story? The media has already made the Colin Kenny story disappear too. Check out National Newswatch and find the story about the Liberal accused of sexual harassment. And then find the stories about the PMO accused of making Duffy pay back the money he wasn’t entitled to. What a joke.

Yes the whole world is watching TO because of Rob Ford – and it’s beginning to filter through to them that a crack smoking populist politician who is dedicated to taxpayer interests and who delivers the goods is more popular than an empty suit who lies as as easily as breathing.
