Since unions have been sort of a central subject to the local discourse recently (and because I really don't want to work on my 509 paper right now), I think it's necessary to respond to the article linked in the sidebar regarding the boy scout in Allentown who was threatened by a union member. For what it's worth, I've seen this article pop up on other news outlets online.
And yes, I understand those links to the right are placed there by an automated feed, and not by any individual.
To clear up the story's inaccuracies, here is a press release from the SEIU. The incident was caused by one idiot who apparently didn't even have the right to speak for the union anyway.
This is another fact: the only reason this non-story has any inertia is because it makes a union looks stupid. It is transparently part of a larger, ongoing media backlash against organized labor.

Ahem, actually they are generated by people (if you use google reader you can also contribute to the sidebar, yes you!).
That one came from me, I just thought it was amusing, thanks for following up on it.
