Wisconsin? What the F***?

Taking away the right to collective bargaining to close a budget shortfall? Do you know how many union brothers and sisters fought for this right so long ago? Do you remember the violence and murders that union busters ,hired by the company, committed against these people to prevent them from gaining this right? While you're at it just go spit on their graves. Put your cards on the table, and I do mean all of them. Then sit down and talk about ways to trim these costs down so that you can save some money and some jobs. I'm sure if we get the anger and emotion out of this and have a civil and frank discussion, a solution can be found if you all work together.

Protests for the New Year

It seems that everyone from the public service workers to the underprivileged masses are protesting this year. They all have good reasons to protest. Some are working some are not. Democracy is sweeping the Middle East. Libya is heading for a bloody civil war and the outcome does not look good for the Libyans. Mixed feelings on this since they have been anti-American for a long time. Certainly a tough situation to watch and pick a side to root for. Neither side is very pretty.

A Year Later or So

Hello everyone! It's been awhile since I last ranted on here. It certainly hasn't been for a lack of topics, since this never seems to be a problem. I just have been busy trying to stay employed in this dismal economy. I'm sure some of you are in the same boat as well. UNEMPLOYMENT DOWN? Bullshit!!! This is just the political rhetoric that they are trying to get us to believe. They didn't bother to tell you how many people have exhausted their unemployment benefits did they? I bet that that number was equal to or greater than the jobs added. Unemployment shrank because the benefits were exhausted not because jobs were magically created. Don't believe the rhetoric that the media is force feeding us. To them, we are all in utopia. I don't think so. Gavin Rossdale said it best, "Everything Zen, Everything Zen, I don't think so"
