If you’ve been wondering where the Unions Due catagory has been, as well as scans of the propaganda they send me (and others), it’s not been neglect; it’s been a problem with my scanner. For some reason, it didn’t want to work with that computer any more, and no amount of un/re-installing drivers would fix it. I finally exchanged printers between two of my computers and voila’! It worked. I figure something’s gone haywire in the O/S, perhaps a bit of spyware or one of the more annoying viruses out there got it.
Anyway, my scanner is now operational again, and in fact, it’s in a better place than before; now it’s on my computer, whereas before it was on the family’s, which caused problems. So here’s the first of a very large backlog of stuff. Both sides have slowed down now that the SEIU has met its goal of obtaining enough signatures.
“And look, not only will your health benefits will be cheaper, your pay will be higher!”
“Well, higher than in any other buyer’s market, since we’re trying to flood the U.S. with cheap illegal labor….”
I’ve still got a few others unscanned to add later.

funny you should post this since there was a piece on 60 Minutes last night about the SEIU.
ARGH! Dangit, I meant to watch that, and forgot. Rough weekend taking care of mother had me tired out.
