No Justice for Bloody Scabs: It's always interesting when one's suspicions based on anecdotes are confirmed by hard facts. I thought that union thuggery was rarely punished, now I know for sure. Deroy Murdock of National Review Online shines the light on this neglected (yet essential) aspect of Labor's interference in the free market and freedom.

Their prerogative: Nine years ago the Minneapolis Star-Tribune decided to stop using its presses to propogate the use of Native American terms in sports. No longer would they print Indian-named team names. Now their outright ban has been lifted. It looks like they're fairly confident political correctness has been sufficiently instilled in each individual writer.

Special Ed: Obviously innocent until proven guilty, Chicago Public Schools "hard-nosed" principle is fired for "financial improprieties" and "acts of retaliation against staff."

Zany CHA: This one is almost too hot to touch. Someone felt it was necessary to bring along CPD to terminate the services of a CHA tenant-run management organization. This one might not be over just yet (does anyone have video of this?). It really begs the question: How could this have been left unaddressed for so long that it comes to this? It's apparent that there hasn't been appropriate oversight and/or guidence of these failed public-housing self-management cliques for a long time, if ever.
