I think being pushed down a long flight of stairs would be a good punishment for Toussaint.
It is so hard to root *for* the MTA. I commute to NYC, I hate them with a passion. In a town famous for Sharpton, Jackson and other demagouges Toussaint stands tall. He is so arrogant makes me actually want the MTA to win.
It's like Darth Vader vs. The Emperor, Jason vs. Freddy, one really bad guy vs another really bad guy.
You just hope they are both mortally wounded when the fight is done
That is exactly how I felt when I was waiting for word on the strike.
The NY Daily News, in today's editorial "Throw Roger from the train!", suggested that New Yorkers might want to throw him off the Brooklyn Bridge into the "icy waters".
You want to throw him down a long flight of stairs, and the most pro-union paper in town thinks he should be either tossed from a moving train or thrown into a freezing river. And the judge handling the case is publicly suggesting that some time in the slammer may be in order. The man is in a tough spot . . .
When I heard that the Union was being fined $1 Million each day, it made me want the strike to go on for awhile. That's money they won't be able to give to the Dems in the '06 and '08 elections.
Is my thinking screwed up on this?
