5. Obama hasn't named his yet, right?
That's probably the single most vital cabinet post right now, in my view.

25. On our local sports station here
They have a non sports morning show and you can send in you comments via text messages. I sent one stating that McConnell was married to Cho and it got read on the air.

4. And he has two union auto plants in his state
But of course, Toyota is in Kentucky as well; and foreign, non-union, interests must always come first with good capitalist Republicans.

Disgusting.

11. Toyota has an auto union in Japan...

8. Screwing labor on a whole new level.
Not that Ms. Chao has been particularly useful as a labor secretary.

9. If anything she sucks as much or worse than he does
Like most shrub appointments, her mission was exactly the opposite of the intended position.

22. The 10 southern senators are capitalist tools, but the Southern Scabs love it.
The Southern Scab, let's say an assembly line worker in the BMW plant in Greer, SC, is happy to vote for an intellectual cretin like Jim Dimwitt (or Sarah Palin) because the Southern Scab loves tough, ignorant talk. The Southern Scab, in fact, thrives on tough, ignorant talk from a variety of sources: politicians on their podiums, preachers in their pulpits, and right-wing radio pundits in anonymous studios far off in radio-land .. all these, and more, come to mind.

The Southern Scab also enjoys his/her quality of life: relatively good working hours (lotsa huntin' 'n fishin' .. you betcha!), fairly good health benefits, a decent vacation, and one of the safest work-places in the world. The Southern Scab takes all that for granted as he/she applauds the politicians' tough, ignorant rhetoric bashing labor unions.

The Southern Scab has no clue as to what transpired in the labor movement to secure what both union and non-union workers enjoy in this country, and that scab has no interest in learning the history of the US labor movement.

The Southern Scab is a tough bird, but not tough enough to go on strike for economic justice. The Southern Scab is enjoying a free ride on the backs of all my union sisters and brothers that have blazed the trail.

But the stupid Scab doesn't realize who the adversary really is. Scabs never do.

Her husband Mitch makes a few Million a year greasing the wheels in CONgress. Why are they so determined to bust auto workers for wanting to make a livable wage?

26. Doesn't that say it all.
She isn't qualified for the job, if you ask me. Heart isn't in the right place.
