UNION: OBAMA THREW WORKERS UNDER THE BUS: “LIUNA represents about 500,000 workers in the construction industry, one of the sectors hardest hit by the 2008 economic collapse. Keystone, which was expected to create 42,000 construction jobs, has been awaiting approval for about seven years. [Terry O’Sullivan, president of the Laborers’ International Union of North America] said that Obama’s attempt to minimize job gains demonstrated his ‘utter disdain’ for blue-collar workers.”

Hey rube! What took you so long? The rest of us figured that out even before Obama took office.

I WOULD SAY THAT THESE ARE AMERICA’S FUTURE LEADERS — BUT, ACTUALLY, I DOUBT IT OF THESE UNHINGED TWITS: Yale Students Demand Resignations from Faculty Members Over Halloween Email.

Tensions at Yale University hit a boiling point yesterday after an email about Halloween costumes created a week-long controversy on campus.

Students called for the resignation of Associate Master of Silliman College Erika Christakis after she responded to an email from the school’s Intercultural Affairs Council asking students to be thoughtful about the cultural implications of their Halloween costumes. According to The Washington Post, students are also calling for the resignation of her husband, Master of Silliman College, Nicholas Christakis, who defended her statement.

FIRE President and CEO Greg Lukianoff recorded video of students confronting Nicholas Christakis yesterday in the courtyard of the Silliman College dormitory complex at Yale. Lukianoff was on Yale’s campus to speak at a conference on issues related to free speech in higher education.

Yale’s admissions committee would seem to be falling down on the job. Video at the link.

And, really, if you want to undercut the value of a Yale degree, just keep this crap up. Nobody respects you.
