For the portion of money that your union spends on politics. Here’s a website that helps show you how.
I hope it offers good advice on keeping your kneecaps, as well.

Okay, Mubarek has stepped down, and everyone is busy congratulating themselves and each other. Perhaps Bush deserves some credit, but few other American politicians do. Oh, and suddenly Obama is encouraging Iranian protestors? Yeah, that’s a couple years too late.
Anyway, yes, Egypt’s dictatorship is toppled (and it’s looking like Algieria and Yemen might be next), but what comes after? One big problem is that the area is still a hotbed of Islamofascism, antisemitism, and outright racial and religious based violence – and the factions based off of those are among the strongest vying to fill the gap – and even if the reforms end up being democratic, that may continue, or even get worse.
On the other hand, perhaps the best sign of where things may go is that the protesters have cared about things like keeping the streets clean of trash.
Now he’s granting waivers for the EPA regulations that he’s mandating.
The Democrats’ plan for the economy: regulate economic activity out of existence except for what they choose to allow.ss
Oh, and guess who makes the waiver decisions for Healthcare in Massachusetts?
While any and every incident that can be blamed on the right and used to call conservatives violent and inflammatory will, what’s coming out of the mouths of liberals? Here are some of the latest examples: Union boss calls for street violence, former Obama officials organizing highway shutdowns to disrupt conservative events, Jew hatred in Harvard Square, and of course, all the typical hatred against every conservative group or individual imaginable.
Clearly the government has our economy as it’s number one concern.
While everyone’s been looking at Egypt the past few days, it’s worth pointing out that Hezbollah’s recently somewhat quietly taken over Lebanon – and the Lebanese aren’t too happy about it. Unfortunately, that means that sooner rather than later we’re likely to see another attack against Israel.
As Instapundit points out, sometimes they deserve their title of “The party of Stupid”.
Stop trying to track people online, stop trying to tamp down on internet gambling or porn. Leave the social agenda for later: you were elected to fix America’s financial problems, so do it.
A private group has done so, competing for the Google Lunar X-Prize.
Technology is helping prostitutes get rid of pimps.
Well, as long as the world’s oldest profession continues to exist, it’s nice to see that technology is minimizing some of the more abusive aspects often associated with the trade…
A series of videos is coming out showing undercover stings of Planned Parenthood officials across the country offering advice to supposed pimps with underage girls. In clinic after clinic, they do the same thing – try and help the pimp go about his business without getting caught by the law. As Instapundit wonders, is pimps asking for advice for underage prostitutes so common that it doesn’t set off any sort of alarms?
Actually, I think the answer to that question, well supported when you look at the history of the debate, is that many left-leaning groups find their main political opponents to be those who support traditional family values – and so end up supporting all the behaviors that break down those values – and all of those who help break down those values, legally or illegally. You can even witness this behavior in the reactions to these videos. As predictably as ever, the media is conspiratorially coordinating with each other to try and frame the message, and of course attack everyone who publishes it. And then quietly post corrections when called on their behavior.
Every aspect of planned parenthood and the media organizations involved in downplaying these videos is horrendous and despicable. To everyone who works at Planned Parenthood, NPR, Media Matters, or is a member of Huffington Post or DailyKos, oh and of course former employees of ACORN: how does it feel to be a member of an organization that supports child prostitution and sex slavery? And don’t you have any shred of guilt about where your organization’s priorities lie?
