Idiots in the Free Press

We're being subjected to our yearly torture with the Public Policy Conference on Mackinac--the Free Press breathlessly reports on the conjectures of those steeped in opulence.  For those not familiar, think of business leaders and mostly right leaning politicians with all the gravitas of Daddy Warbucks and the emotional maturity of Richie Rich.  This--and I mean every fucking year--seems to be lost on the dolts that run the Free Press.

But the Free Press has really outdone itself this year.  At a conference full of men and women who put the con in conservative, the Free Press reports on a straw poll put together by someone with an IQ of fucking 12 that the attendees support the Emergency Manager Law (read union-busting) by a 78%-22% margin.  In another surprising result, the attendees are against a constitutional amendment for collective bargaining rights by 77%-23%.

If the purpose of the Free Press publishing the results of these polls was to show how completely and totally out of touch they are, they have succeeded quite magnificently.  Well done!

Peace,
