It happens. You go looking for something, and you find something else. It could be your real self, true love, the secret to happiness (which begins by turning off networks and cable news, if you care)—a missing trinket, 20 bucks in a spring or winter coat, or maybe trouble.

When Life Gives You Unions…You Make Unionade!
Every time I buy a new vehicle–my newest one is eight years old, its driveway companion is twelve so this does not happen often–I suddenly find myself noticing how many other people drive the same car (Truck, Van, or SUV.) It probably works the same way with sweaters or Democrats who cheat one their wives…
So given recent events in Michigan I am not surprised to find myself “finding” more stories with a labor union theme.
Once upon a time there was a violent pipe-fitter named Vinnie who blamed his abuse of counter-protesters on his wife Collette for not being there for him to beat on instead…(/where is he going with this?)
A New Ed “Flash” Larkin Inspired Scratch Game From The NH Lottery?
In the fall of 2009 UNH Professor Ed ‘Flash’ Larkin was put on paid leave for exposing his genitals to a young lady and her mother in the Milford Market Basket Parking lot. (My earlier remarks here.) As of October of last year, the plan was to let him go, but it looks like the Union and an arbitrator have stepped in and Flash still has a job.
Ed “Flash” Larkin has, to the best of my knowledge, continuously collected his $87,375.00 per year UNH salary, since the incident.
Under the terms of his probation, as reported in the Sunday Union Leader, he will remain on the UNH staff for another three years before being permitted to meet with students. That restriction prevents him from teaching during that time. We can only assume that a University that pays full salary during an investigation does likewise when they are told they cannot terminate said employee. Without knowing any other details, this amounts to five years worth of salary at a state supported university, to a German Language professor, for what? Exposing himself in public.
Talk about a government jobs program. Show some strangers your “little professor” at the grocery store parking lot and we’ll give you $436,875.00 over five years.
But you get forced out of your job if you just expose yourself on Twitter? I bet Anthony Weiner is pissed.
