Not really. This *is* the UAW we’re talking about. Home of the 60,000 mile transmission.

It would be news if you found UAW members actually working.

They’ll be among the first to help spend the bailout money.

It’s in their contract. Now shut up and send in your money.

If they are “fired” they’ll just appeal and be back the next week.

Good old unions at work.

Republican smears against these self-proclaimed “hard-working Americans”. What a bunch of pathetic self entitled crybabies. “I want to do the same job for 20 years over and over, get a raise each year and then I can complain about the effciency of the Japanese automakers while I sit on my fat lazy arse and draw and overpaid pension”

I don’t know too many people that would enjoy sitting around day after day getting drunk, what kind of life is that? Not one I want to lead.

Its past time to trim the fat. Unfortunately, Bush just ensured it won’t happen ‘on his watch’.

I won’t miss W’s stupidity as its been displayed in his second term. This is thankfully the last thing he can screw up between now and Inauguration.

Damn it, Bush KNOWS BETTER THAN THIS!

(rant off)

“Man .....I wish I had a job like that.”

Hope you’re just missing sarc tags.

I don’t.

I love an ice cold beer, but by any decent person’s standards those dudes are cheats, liars and drunks. They also probably shouldn’t be behind the wheel of a vehicle.

What a bunch of do nothing free-loaders!

Buah’s $14 billion will go a long way toward paying the bar bills.

I am so pissed that the left chastised Bush for what they did, and for not chastising him for what mattered...
