Thursday, April 7, 2011 The Week in Editorial Cartoons - The New Wisconsin Workers AnthemSHARE
Reagan started the destruction of labor unions, which I recognize, and Clinton continued it with NAFTA. The middle class has lost ground, our income has atrophied and, according to Chomsky, the destruction of the unions is to blame.
I don't know where the truth lies, but I'd like to see us come together to work out a system that benefits everyone instead of just the top 1 percent before we're rioting in the streets like in Egypt, Bahrain, and Libya.

Friday, February 18, 2011 So, you want to make millions? From JekyllnHyde at the Daily Kos.SHARE
Yes, friends, you too can start a blog (just as Art Fern would say it on the 'Tonight Show'). Invite assorted celebrities to write for you. For nothing. Convince them that their brilliant ideas will be exposed to millions of readers. Add a bit of fluff to your blog a few months later on. Go on cable tv talk shows and make bombastic statements, preferably in a bad European accent. Create faux controversies. Add a few noted "journalists" to your payroll to give oneself a facade of respectability. Then, find a corporate sucker to believe in all your hype. Walk away with millions of dollars.

On January 23, 1976, one of the greatest Americans of the twentieth century died a nearly forgotten man in self-imposed seclusion in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
