Over at Ken’s Weblog (where comments don’t seem to be working) I found a post about a bloggers union, is it time to exercise the third armpit option?

Do bloggers need a union of their own?.

A group of bloggers and labor activists today considered whether bloggers might need their own union, and if so, what form it would take. Also, whether Republicans would be admitted.

[Ars Technica]

At first I thought this was a joke, but after reading the article it appears that the morons are really serious. Just who exactly do they think their proposed union would extort?

As far as I’m concerned, and for reasons that really shouldn’t need to be explained, bloggers need a union like bloggers need a third armpit.
