PUBLIC EMPLOYEE UNIONS revealed as paper tigers again. This time in New Jersey. “Even Thursday, when their doom was obvious, the unions didn’t seem to get it. At the rally, they sang songs about the working class and the rich, as if they were coal miners ekeing out a meager wage, as if middle-class taxpayers were the greedy mine owners.”

It’s amazing how the power dynamic shifts when you run out of other people’s money.

UPDATE: Wisconsin Video: The scene at the Capitol the night the Senate passed the budget reform bill. Impotent, entitled rage.

The comments seem to underscore my earlier point about how it’s hard to get good goons these days.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Twilight Of The Unions? I predict an underbus moment for them before the 2012 elections.
