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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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