Milwaukee teachers drop Viagra suit

[The Northerner]

The Milwaukee teachers union has dropped a lawsuit seeking to get its taxpayer-funded Viagra back.

The union sued in July 2010 to force the school board to again include the erectile dysfunction drug and similar pills in its health insurance plans.

The union has argued the board's policy of excluding such drugs from the plans discriminates against male employees; the board has countered the 2005 move was meant to save money.

Court records indicate attorneys for the union, the school board and the state Labor and Industry Review Commission agreed to dismiss the lawsuit on March 1. Messages for all three groups' attorneys weren't immediately returned.

1. Well, it certainly helps the performance of gay porn stars, maybe the teachers are looking...

to latch onto some of that success.

2. So the union softened its stance?

I apologize for the pun. I do. Really.

3. Viagra should have never been in bargain negotiations.

I can only wonder how such an idiotic demand helped Scott Walker pull a mask over voters eyes last fall.

4. Without viagra, will the prick Scott Walker fall over?

5. Let's see if I can top the funny comments ...

about not including Viagra in the health plans for those teachers.

How about not including birth control?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA ...Now that's funny!

Slippery slope time, folks. When medical stuff starts to be part of negotiations, the slope is very, very slippery.

Lots of men take Viagra for lots of things, prostate problems, blood pressure, etc

Interesting fact... if a man doesn't have erections often, his penis gets noticeably shorter and skinnier.

Anybody still laughing?
