"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from
time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
It is its natural manure."

Jefferson has a woody?

And the press has the last one covered.

If people could
Wed, 03/25/2009 - 07:55 — Evet

(Reuters) – FedEx Corp is threatening to cancel the purchase of billions of dollars worth of new Boeing Co cargo planes if Congress passes a law that would make it easier for unions to organize at the package-delivery company, the Wall Street Journal said.

Well WTF?

Fuck Fed-Ex then!
Their service sucks anyway!

Fuck "Brown."

It's not like they treat employees like anything other than chattel.

Dunno
Wed, 03/25/2009 - 08:37 — liberalNmoderation

I'm not sure they treat their employees so badly...sure they work the dogshit out of 'em, but they get paid pretty good from what I've heard...and decent bennies too.

Fuck Them...
Wed, 03/25/2009 - 09:23 — Liberal AND Proud

This is more bullshit. They're cancelling the contracts because their business is in the shitter.

EMAIL!!

And as for packages. They're model doesn't work anymore...because people are figuring out that it doesn't HAVE to be next day.

Screw them. I hope they fail.

Exit Strategy
Wed, 03/25/2009 - 07:59 — woody

Just get on the bus, Gus.
Climb in the van, Stan.
Flag down a truck, Chuck.
Commandeer that lorrie, Maurie.
Hop on a plane, Jane.
Go catch a ship, Chip.
Get in the car, Bar.
Take a long hike, Mike.

There must be 50 ways to leave Afghanistan...

So the Obama administration is giving up the pretense of democracy in Afghanistan then?

And, by the look of it, America, too

What, handing emergency powers to Geithner and your "betters" (aka the banksters) is now a bad thing? ;)

decriminalization of drug use
Wed, 03/25/2009 - 08:04 — Trantorian

should be part of Obama's comprehensive health care reform. It should be phased in as more resources are put into education, treatment and rehab.

I think 5 F-22 raptors ought to cover it.

Season ticket, on a one - way ride
Asking nothing, leave me be
Taking everything in my stride
Don't need reason, don't need rhyme
Ain't nothing I would rather do
Going down, party time
My friends are gonna be there too

I'm on the highway to hell
On the Highway to hell

The Big Takeover
The global economic crisis isn't about money - it's about power. How Wall Street insiders are using the bailout to stage a revolution

So it's time to admit it: We're fools, protagonists in a kind of gruesome comedy about the marriage of greed and stupidity. And the worst part about it is that we're still in denial — we still think this is some kind of unfortunate accident, not something that was created by the group of psychopaths on Wall Street whom we allowed to gang-rape the American Dream.

When Geithner announced the new $30 billion bailout, the party line was that poor AIG was just a victim of a lot of shitty luck — bad year for business, you know, what with the financial crisis and all. Edward Liddy, the company's CEO, actually compared it to catching a cold: "The marketplace is a pretty crummy place to be right now," he said. "When the world catches pneumonia, we get it too." In a pathetic attempt at name-dropping, he even whined that AIG was being "consumed by the same issues that are driving house prices down and 401K statements down and Warren Buffet's investment portfolio down."

Taibbi's only wrong about one thing

we're not the 'protagonists.'

we're the chorus, the extras, the poker chips with which the smug, smart fuckers play and bluff.

Wed, 03/25/2009 - 09:30 — ysbaddaden

Chorus as in chorus girls, or like those creepy Greek guys who have to explain the play to us?

Maybe Republicans want Cheney to shut up, but you have to admit that GW is hiding in the bushes, so to speak.

Will Anyone Give Bush a Job?
Being ex-president is usually easy and lucrative. It won't be for George W. Bush.

Cheney would do well to take a lesson from Bush. He's better off staying out of sight and keeping his mouth shut.

It's not like he needs the money.
Wed, 03/25/2009 - 09:16 — woody

between what he and cheney stole, and the rightard/fascist dole that kept Raygun afloat, he'll never have to clear brush again aas long as he lives....

Re: Mike's Blog Roundup
Wed, 03/25/2009 - 09:25 — annie

True enough, woody. He wouldn't have to earn money to support himself for several lifetimes.

But don't you think he'll notice that nobody wants him to do anything important? And that not only will he be the most despised president of modern times but the only ex-president that nobody respects and who can't get a job?

"US may appoint a Prime Minister in Afghanistan"

Afghanistan is officially a US Territory now? When'd that happen? And when do we start getting the cheap hash shipments? OH! That's right! The CIA wiped out all the pot feilds and planted poppies and have been giving us the cheap herion imports since 2 months after the invasion.

Let's all hope that the braindead Cheney keeps shooting off his ignorant mouth, rather than another hunter friend face.

Thanks, Mike Honey.
