DYSPEPSIA GENERATION

The Other McCain is the home of the itchy trigger finger.

Setup: For those who don’t follow these things (and who could blame you?), Christine Peliosi is the daughter of Crustian power-broker Nancy Pelosi — a child of the Left Coast Establishment who has a non-career as a Democratic party political operator. She is a poster child for the second-generation Crust-guppies that clog our upper-tier universities while their leather chair waits at the non-prof. They lack for nothing and produce nothing, except occasional pious sentiments and righteous indignation, all in a Good Cause. (She comes by it honestly, though; her siblings are just as bad:

Among Christine’s siblings include environmental activist Paul Pelosi, Jr. and filmmaker Alexandra Pelosi.

— per Wikipedia.) An entire nest of First-World drones. Put them in a homeless shelter with nothing but the clothes on their backs and $10 in their pockets, and they’d starve to death in a week.

But that’s not the entertaining part. The entertaining part is Smitty’s comment on unions:

For those unaware, a union is a corporation without a product. Unions produce not-work, in a fashion similar to that of organized crime. The threat of not-work is used to extort dues from workers and benefits from companies. These monies and favors are then used to buy politicians in a non-virtuous cycle. In the Navy, we called a union a ‘mutiny’.

And I’ve never heard it put better.
