A Hoffa You Can't Refuse   [Mark Steyn]

Cardchecker-in-chief Jimmy Hoffa explains democracy:

"This business about the Employee Free Choice Act taking away the secret ballot is nonsense spread by front groups for corporate fat cats who don't want to give up their $16,000 wastebaskets," Hoffa said.

"Since when is the secret ballot a basic tenet of democracy?" Hoffa said. "Town meetings in New England are as democratic as they come, and they don't use the secret ballot. Elections in the Soviet Union were by secret ballot, but those weren't democratic."

The day Jimmy Hoffa shows up at my Town Meeting is the day we move to paper ballots.
