Well, that certainly excludes the piece of crap now occupying the
White
House. He couldn't even finish his stint in the Texas ANG.
Both you, and the former C-in-C didn't even serve, so what's your
point?
Golly, I didn't know Harry was running!!? Congrats Harry!
It would be worth running just to call Bush a piece of crap during
every
speech.
You ever see mystery science theater 2000? Just think of what you could
do
with a Bush speech, especially after a little time goes by so you can
cut to
a comparison of what he promises matched up with what is actually
delivered!
Perhaps the pop-up balloons would be the best way to tackle this. I am
just
wondering - would it be comedy or a disaster documentary?
Mark Browne
Not so distant. It's going to be done, perhaps not with pop-up balloons,
but with his visage, speaking his words and those of his administration,
followed by the truth and what actually took place. They won't be
candidate-sponsored, they'll be organizationally sponsored.

Harry,
BTW - You seem to travel in the right circles to know the answers on this
one:
Why have I never seen a union take the unemployed members and start some
kind of venture without waiting for a capitalist to offer work?
Is there some rule that prevents the union from starting co-ops to put the
boys to work?
Or has this never come up?
Mark Browne
If you are talking about construction workers, I suspect it is because
the trades unions don't want to put themselves in competition with the
signatory contractors, or actually get into the contracting business.
Most of the skilled trades unions have programs that help unemployed
members get good work. They might have to travel a little if work is
slow in one place, but if they travel to another, they get a travel
allowance and other benefits.
Also, the unions and their contractor counterparts invest a substantial
amount of pension money into solid construction projects, either
construction loans or permanent financing. That provides tens of
thousands of jobs every year for union members.
