Union Backs 1st Amendment

Many people hate unions - and in particular, the Teacher Unions.  However, when they aren't dumping money into Democrat pockets, unions can occasionally serve a good purpose.  This is one of them.

After the Portland Tribune broke a Dec. 15 story about growing teacher dissatisfaction against Jefferson Principal Leon Dudley, the administration sent out a memo to teachers saying they could not give interviews to reporters unless the interviews “have been approved.”

On Jan. 10, Miller, the president of the Portland Association of Teachers, struck back with a newsletter to his members, calling the memo “management through intimidation.”

“It’s as if someone … forgot about the First Amendment of our federal Constitution,” wrote Miller, adding that teachers still are allowed to speak to reporters without permission during breaks or before or after work. “It’s called the right to free speech.”

So Much For The “Search”

According to Slate, O.J. has essentially confessed to the murders of his wife and Ron Goldman.  Apparently, his search for the "real killer" across the golf course of the USA has proven fruitless.

Here is how Fenjves described his meetings with Simpson to me: "I was sitting in a room with a man I knew to be a murderer, and I let him hang himself."

Pablo Fenjeves was the ghostwriter for Simpson's "If I Did It" book.  It seems that if anybody's in a position to know the truth, other than Simpson, then Pablo'd be the guy.
