The San Diego U-T editorial staff must get a lot of giggles out of their own articles. I don't see the humor, but maybe that's just me. ;)

UNION-TRIBUNE EDITORIAL
So we're clueless?

Bloggers union talk: Life imitates The Onion

August 11, 2007

One of the most striking aspects about the left-wing blogs that have assumed a major place of influence in recent years is their unlimited self-confidence. From Iraq to trade to how to win a presidential campaign, these blogs assert that oblivious Democrats, conniving Republicans and the clueless mainstream media just don't get it – that they are mired in past assumptions and just don't understand how the world really works nowadays.

Now along comes a story about some of these lefty bloggers that is so flabbergasting it demands this observation: So we're clueless?

This week, Associated Press reported that “a loosely formed coalition of left-leaning bloggers are trying to band together to form a labor union they hope will help them receive health insurance (and) conduct collective bargaining.”

Um, just whom will they be bargaining with? Do these “left-leaning bloggers” understand that collective bargaining involves employees and employers – and that no one hired them to blog?

Or are they just beginning to edge up to the argument that grateful taxpayers should pay for their health benefits?

Hey, that's how to solve the health crisis: Have every American start a blog and be given health coverage for the effort. We expect this to soon become a major plank in the Kucinich-for-president campaign.

1. What they don't get

is the health care is a right of every citizen--it isn't something that is "earned".

Edited to add: This is the meme the corporate media is trying to promote-that we don't deserve decent health care unless we can pay for it--we don't deserve secure voting--and we don't deserve or want to get out of Iraq. So they denigrate candidates and these ideas, portraying them as "fringe" when, in actuality, these are mainstream ideas. So IGNORE the MSM--give people the TRUTH via flyers, DVDs, and, yes, the internet. People are waking up to the fact that the MSM is a scam, and are looking for another source for information.
