The U.S. Department of Labor is withdrawing a rule that would have limited the sorts of work that children can do on farms.

And I didn't mean for it to be funny. I was just passing on what happened.

Credit where due, FoxNews carried what the Labor Dept wanted to do on every evening show last night. However, if your neighbor watches the alphabets, or nothing at all, he wouldn’t have known.

Like a nuclear warhead makes for a good illumination round.

When I've got an old liberal frenchman neighbor calling to gritch about government overstepping.... that's overstepping.

Yeah I saw that quote from Franken. I supposed even a stopped clock is correct twice a day. Actually, I didn’t want to post from MN Public Radio source, but it’s all I found in a quick search for a link.

Don’t forget Zer0’s “Rural Council”

The Frenchman is still waiting for Dan Rather to come back. I'm not sure he knows about Fox or CNN or any channels on the dial above 13.

Of course, I would never have seen it on TV because I wouldn't own one.

Axelrod told Obummer that you better tell the Unions we are going to lose the election on this issue. You see how fast Obummer fliped flopped his labor department. The end of the road is near as America will wake up vote Obummer out in November. He keeps getting the snowball gaining speed as it rolls towards the election.

I know lysie. There was nothing but sinister in the entire plan.

Too bad we cannot stir up such angst on some of the other crap Obama is pulling.

The EPA for instance.

Thanks prairiebreeze.

[Venturer]

PS it is up to us as Americans to stand up to Obama—God knows our representatives will not.

that's just toooo damn funny...

[prairiebreeze]

I’d forgotten about the frenchman. Heh, thanks for sharing all this.

[TribalPrincess2U]

They back off for now, but t come back at a different approach, ‘later’, like they always do.

[Jane Long]

I imagine others, such as myself, emailed this to ALL, as well. This went viral on many levels.

[prairiebreeze]

I know, I certainly did my part to light it up.

Very well could be. Vigilance will be essential. And should Zeroman win a second term...God forbid...there will be no holds barred.
