1. I am with Trumka...have been in awe of him ever since I saw his first stump speech for Obama.

2. I like how the Bloomberg stuffed-suit pushed the "unmeployed are lazy" meme...

right up front there. The more they float that out there the more this crazy attitude will take hold in America. Blame the poor, homeless and jobless for a problem they didn't create, but are ultimately paying the price for. How long will it take for the scales to fall from folks eyes and see the poor aren't the problem.

3. That's an unfortunate statement from this millionaire. He came

to stump for our Wisconsin Democratic Candidate for Governor recently. I was concerned because of this millionaires stumping for Bush.
