Teachers' Union or Den of Thieves?
What the FBI thought was $2 million in misspent funds by the District of Columbia teachers' union has exploded into a $5 million theft according to a new audit. The Washington Post's report includes such vignettes as a union chauffeur -- chauffeur? -- stuffing his pockets with $20,000 in cash after cashing one check. Staggering.

OK. Union accountable to no one and District of Columbia in the same article? Is anyone really surprised there's corruption there?
Corruption? A Union? Washington DC? NAH!!!!
Brad, that's right, Union=corruption. Just like teen phone use=smoking. You're catching on!
At least Jimmy Hoffa and friends didn't try to tell us they were doin' it for the children.
