Moonbat bloggers want to unionize

Here’s a story about how bloggers (primarily the tinfoil hat brigade) want to unionize.

Here’s an intemperate point to ponder: how does one bargain with employers, collectively or individually, when one does not actually have employers? Do I bargain with WordPress, who hosts my blog? Do I bargain with the Libertarian Party? As Bizzy notes, “‘Reality-based community’ bloggers wanting to unionize are also going to have to work on the reality economists call ‘barriers to entry’.”

I can somewhat understand the part about grouping together to negotiate more favorably for health insurance. But considering the overwhelming number of bloggers are not professional full-time bloggers, most of us have insurance through our real jobs. Then again, we are talking about leftist bloggers who hatched this idea, so they’re probably much less likely to have real jobs (to say nothing about real jobs that offer health plans) than their counterparts on the right.

If there’s a silver lining, it’s this: if moonbat bloggers like the Kos kooks unionize, maybe they’ll go on strike, too!
