Just kidding guy's, but I am running low on crying towels. I am a union worker and when I go to work the crying is unbearable, grown men wimpering like babies. Yesterday I asked them, if Republicans are so into big buisness why do the democrats win the big buisness states and wealthy cities? I tell them to look at the map, red states are middle class to poor. It just makes them cry more. I wish I had a choice to get out of my union, but the law makes it so that I have to be a member because they supposedly represent me. I told my chapter that in no way have they ever represented my interests. Semper Fi.

Unions are why my toyota tundra (made in Indiana with non-union labor) is so good.

If the big three could un-arse themselves from unions, they could be world class.

Standing by for the flaming...

When Nikita Krushchev toured the US he was invited to a luncheon with American labor leaders, Reuther, Meany, Hoffa et.al. to share comradery. Niki was disgusted. "These cigar chomping, silk suited fat cats represent labor? They look like plutocratic thieves to me!" or so said his memoir.

When I drove school busses they made me join the union - Evil or Very Mad - but I looked into the dues and I was able to excercise the option of donating them to charity - I suggest you and others do the same if you want to prevent the 50% largesse and the 50% PAC that seems to make up union budgets...OK, there may be a couple other things they do, but I exaggerate to make a point.

He said as he banged his shoe on the table. He did like Disneyland though.
