Long-time listeners of The Delivery will know that, as a rule, I don’t like to rant. I tend to stay away from rant-prone talk radio programs and television shows, which is why I’ve largely stopped listening to Bill O’Reilly, Glenn Beck, Mark Levin, Sean Hannity, and, increasingly Chris Plante (who had been one of my favorites). I honestly don’t know how anyone can maintain that high a level of indignation for anywhere from 1-3 hours a day and remain sane and healthy for very long.

However, I do find the occasional rant to be therapeutic and, believe it or not, desired by my audience. So I’ve turned a couple or three of them loose over the past two months and I’ll be launching one tonight as well. Wisconsin and the moral obligation we have to crush public sector unions will be a major part of the show, and I expect that some righteous indignation will be apparent.

Also, jokes about lame hippie throwbacks who can’t summon enough creativity to invent new protest chants. Don’t miss it. It will be good.

And now, links!

  • How powerful are unions, both private and public? Well, they dominate the political donor lists. Remember that the next time the  Democrats talk to you about shadowy corporate interests who infest our political system. They have their own moneyed interests that are, if anything, more powerful. And their power extends to the police and the MSM. Makes the deck seem a little stacked, doesn’t it?
  • Miniature nuclear reactors you could put in your backyard? Yes, please! Put me down for two.
  • Now that I know the President flies a personal trainer from Chicago to DC every single week, his obsession with high-speed rail makes sense.
  • Yes, we’re all very shocked that a national pro-life group would push for a pro-life law. However, if would be helpful if, along with its shock, Mother Jones had gotten the facts straight.
  • How do you break a bureaucratic union? Punch it in the bureaucracy.
  • Happy Second Birthday, Tea Parties. I realize yesterday wasn’t the proper birthday — the Tea Parties were born of the Vote Buying Act Stimulus protests that took place even before Rick Santelli’s historic rant — but I won’t quibble.
  • This author makes a very good case that we’ll see Amazon giving away Kindles before too long. Economically, it makes pretty good sense
