... this is what heroism looks like. With apparently no local media coverage at all, the 14 Fleebaggers were honored over the weekend at the national NEA convention in Chicago. Via WLS: VIDEO ADDED...

In the annals of tactical blunders, the decision by the Racine firefighters union to not support a 9-11 Memorial may become the stuff of legends. At a time when the unions and the Democrats are going all-in in defense of public employee unionism, the thuggish boycott displayed unionism in the worst, ugliest possible light.

This morning, Stars and Stripes Honor Flight announced that we have raised $250,000 for this fall's Honor Flights. (Our goal had been $150,000.) We will be flying two planeloads of WWII veterans on November 5... just a week before the releaser of the full-length documentary....

I'm sure there are worse examples, but it's hard to imagine many as crass and thuggish as this story powerfully recounted by the JS's Dan Bice. Da union puts it's agenda ahead of honoring the heroism of fellow firefighters, starkly exposing it's priorities and real values. Bice reports:

Christian Schneider notes that the passionately predicted apocalypse failed to materialize this week. But there was at least one example of petulant partisan classlessness: Dems refused to show up for the annual leggie vs. staffer softball game.

You may have read/seen about "Segway Boy," the perpetual protester who has apparently made a career out of annoying behavior, wracking up dozens of unpaid tickets along the way. The last time we encountered Jeremy Ryan, he had "15 citations totaling $3,604.50 for protesting and disrupting events at the Capitol." As the paper reported: "So far, he hasn't had to pay a cent." Now he's taken to the internet to beg... for others to help him continue to mooch. Classic stuff. Here is his heart-felt plea:

The country may have wanted leadership, but the president is giving them red meat, old fashioned class warfare. Us vs. Them. If you expected conciliation, hope, unity, forget it. This was an ugly performance. Expect more "unexpected," economic fallout now that the president has launched against the nation's producers. This is actually from the AP report:

Fascinating behind-the-scenes account of what happened in the Supreme Court by Christian Schneider. This definitely fleshes out the conflicting allegations....

HT Christian Schneider: In case you don't recognize the folks in this ad endorsing uber-liberal Justice Shirley Abrahamson that is (1) Judge Maryann Sumi and (2) Dane County Sheriff David Mahoney.... Mahoney is now charged with investigating the charges against Abrahamson critic Justice David Prosser. Abrahamson will be a key witness and the case will turn on the credibility of the various witnesses. Conflict? Much? Seriously, he needs to recuse himself ASAP.

Senate candidate Shelly Moore channels her inner Jimmy Hoffa in this clip where she compares the state's largest teachers union to the mafia... and she means it in a good way. She is the Democrat candidate in the recall campaign against Sheila Harsdorf in Northwestern Wisconsin.
