My local newspaper editor, as he does regularly, once again attacked unions as the problem in America. This is the same editor who once said “all the laziest goof-offs and goldbricks in the newsroom” where he began his career were union officials—and that the unionized New York Times editorial writers are nothing more than “limousine liberals.” For this most recent attack, two days after Thanksgiving, he combined the economy with what he believes are greedy unions. “abor unions and...

Detroit’s Big Three: Actual CEO Opening Statements To Congress
I’ve been pounding an unpopular table in several places trying to show people that a $25 Billion investment/loan is critical for the US and makes common sense. I’ve taken a couple of days off from working on the subject. Today, I’ve finally found the opening statements of all three automakers to Congress. I’m providing them below as they offer more understanding of the automakers request of the Congress. They better frame the extent of the influence they collectively have...
How To Cap Off The Election — A Modest Suggestion
My regular readers will recall the Phrygian cap*, which the “Sons of Liberty” adopted about 1766 as the emblem of our Revolution. Many of the militia who served in the Revolutionary War wore the “Liberty cap” with “Liberty” or “Liberty or Death” or “Congress” embroidered on the headband. You don’t see that much in the movies, of course. Nor, does the “Liberty cap” mean much anymore — although at one...
Happy Thanksgiving To All
For me, and I’m certain for every reader, this is a day to say thanks for the good things in our lives. I wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving day with friends and family. Everyday, if nothing else, we have the gift of sunrise. Sphere: Related Content
Thanking Sarah Palin
Part 2, in which battling spokespersons collude like you wouldn’t believe. (Part i was yesterday’s “Moving America Bass-ackwards“) They are the political equivalent of unscrupulous telemarketers or internet phishers: This week, they’re a prince from Nigeria; the next, they’re telling you that you’ve won the Liechtensteiner lottery, or they’re from your bank checking your account, they’re checking on the “warranty” for your car (that went off warranty years ago), they’re telling you that you’ve won a free vacation, they’re...

White House pressures mayors on greenhouse gas emissions
He may be the lamest of lame ducks, but George W. Bush is still doing immense damage. Consider: As the Bush administration prepares to issue its ruling on whether to limit greenhouse gases, it’s sending out a message to some of its allies: Tell us how much you don’t want us to regulate emissions linked to global warming. Last week, the White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs sent an e-mail to mayors reminding them that time was running out...
Detroit Part 4 : Necessary Leadership and Reality
[First, let me say these are my own suggestions to help the situation. These are the changes I wish to see in the automakers. I will be doing more fact based writing, fully resourced, in the next few days. I agree with Rachel Maddow (video) that the attack on the UAW and the automakers could begin a time where white collar workers are far more valued than blue-collar workers. The fallacies being used as fact about the UAW, as just one...
