• Chicago’s 26,000 Teachers & Support Staff Go on Strike for the First Time in 25 Years — Here’s Why

  September 10, 2012 at 8:53am

  In reply to MAULEMALL.

  Agreed, then get people that WANT to teach in there. Give the kids books for this year and then pass them on to the next grade. It’s not like they’ll miss anything with this group of teachers.

  Any chance Wisconsin can annex Chicago?

• ‘The Right Leader for Our Times’: Ex-Republican Former Florida Gov. Charlie Crist Endorses Obama

  August 26, 2012 at 1:12pm

  Charlie, read this:

  “Men, this stuff that some sources sling around about America wanting out of this war, not wanting to fight, is a crock of bulls***. Americans love to fight, traditionally. All real Americans love the sting and clash of battle. You are here today for three reasons. First, because you are here to defend your homes and your loved ones. Second, you are here for your own self respect, because you would not want to be anywhere else. Third, you are here because you are real men and all real men like to fight. When you, here, everyone of you, were kids, you all admired the champion marble player, the fastest runner, the toughest boxer, the big league ball players, and the All-American football players. Americans love a winner. Americans will not tolerate a loser. Americans despise cowards. Americans play to win all of the time. I wouldn’t give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed. That’s why Americans have never lost nor will ever lose a war; for the very idea of losing is hateful to an American.”

  Sorry, Charlie, you lost your marbles, have no balls for any game, and in a boxing ring, there aren’t enough towels to save your sorry behind. Go home, cry yourself to sleep, and know that you are the consummate loser. You are insignificant, an asterisk on Florida and even less so on US history.

• Fort Hood Shooter Trial Delayed Indefinitely Over Beard

  Drop all the charges, and assign him to Seal Team 6 as a negotiator. (I know, that’s Navy and he’s Army, but hear me out…).

  On their next mission, he can be part of the initial insertion as a covert negotiator, then the rest of the team can come in 90 seconds later if the negotiations don’t go well.

  “It was sad to see negotiations not go well, and had we not sent him in with a Star of David patterned shirt, he perhaps would have done better.”

• Sandusky Juror Speaks Out: Ex-Coach’s Reaction During Verdict Was ‘Confirmation’ Jury Made Right Call

  In reply to Casca1.

  If I saw what was happening in the shower, and there was no doubt, I would have done what that father in Texas did when he saw his 4 (or was it 5…) year old daughter being raped.

  I’m sure more would have come forward, and I’m also pretty sure it wasn’t happening for “just 15 years”.

  @Cuinsong,
  I’m sincerely sorry if you think that I am an Obama shill. Please, let me assure you that I am not. I work at Boeing in Everett, and I was forced to join a union. I transferred from the Charleston mid-body plant, and with that information, those that worked there probably know who I am.

  I was there when the aft-body plant kicked the IAM out, and I cheered. I was there when Boeing decided to build the second FA&D plant (this is the one that the IAM wanted shut down), and I cheered. I was there when Boeing came in an had the groundbreaking, and I saw that Joe Wilson (the guy that said “you lie” to Obama) had 10 people, including me, waiting to have their picture taken with him, and the rest of the congressional delegation had none. I also saw what the IAM did to Boeing in getting the complaint dropped with the 737 contract.

  With that, Glenn has emphasized that the truth is more important than party, and that has been my goal in this discussion. I just don’t want the picture muddied, and if I have done that, please accept my apologies. The truth has no pay grade.

• Obama Sells His Economic Record by Talking up Plant He Tried to Close

  Gad.. this keeps getting worse, every time I read it… (from the article):
  The problem? His administration tried to close one of the most productive of those plants over conflict with unions. Specifically, when Boeing decided to relocate some of its manufacturing plants to South Carolina – a right-to-work state, unlike Washington state

  1. “Tried to close one of the most productive of those plants” Boeing South Carolina (BSC) FA&D hasn’t produced anything yet (they’re still making the airplanes at the moment…) so how is it the most productive? I hope they do become very productive at making the jets, but until they do, it can’t be said they’re the “most productive”.

  2. “decided to relocate some of its manufacturing plants” NOTHING WAS RELOCATED. Boeing built an additional FA&D plant in SC! Geez, Louise… If I have a lemonade stand on 1st and Main, and I open another on 2nd and Magnolia, how many lemonade stands have I relocated? Answer: none. I just increased my production capabilities.

  Well, they got the right to work part right…

  @IslandMarine
  I work up at the Everett plant, and didn’t have a choice whether I wanted to join the union. It was join or go look for another job. It’s amazing the party of choice doesn’t give me one when it comes to joining a union. Plus, I used to work in 88-20 until I transferred up here.

  I can’t wait to see the planes coming out of both plants, and I hope you guys down there give us a run for our money!

  The only thing I can think that is better than 10 airplanes a month is 13-17 airplanes a month coming from two factories!
