OEA Member: “OEA has abandoned its Core Values”
The Ohio Education Association (OEA), Ohio’s biggest government union and We Are Ohio’s top in-state donor, has “not only forgotten, but abandoned, its Core Values.”
Soak the Rich: Quadruple-Bypass
I failed the last two weeks to keep the Soak the Rich hose trained on evil corporations! In honor of vacationer extraordinaire Michelle Obama, this special catchup edition will target fat-cat fatty-foods producers.

Soak the Rich: US Bancorp
The problem with the federal balance sheet, you see, is that corporations don’t pay their fair share. US Bancorp is a prime example – and if those bankster crooks think they’ll get away with it, Sherrod would beg to differ!
