Read the post. "Venezuelan here." Most educated Venezuelans (including my wife) detest Chavez. It's only the poor that really adore him and he's such a populist politician much like Franklin D. Roosevelt (or so a passerby once described him)


Read here why the rich & influential in
Venezuela dislike him.

I've long suspected that Wal-Mart illegally compares personal health records with productivity and satisfaction.

I've worked within a union within the State government (at a University no less). Despite my knee-jerk liberalism, I'm not sure I would voluntarly join a union again. In my anecdotal experience, the union didn't appear to save jobs when the State budget tightened and seemed to protect employees that probably should have been let go. On the other hand, I'll be enjoying my weekends, health insurance, overtime pay, paid holidays, and other benefits that were brought to us by unions whether or not I join one myself.

Anyway, more to the point, the issue shouldn't be a "Rush told me unions are bad" or, even, "unions will save our jobs". The cheap labor conservatives (e.g. the nanny state conservatives) love arguments like this since it pretty much distracts everyone from the fundamental point: the U.S. economy balance of power is tilting so far in the direction of the corporate entities that by the time we're done argueing about unions it will be too late.

I'm not sure about banning multi-national corporations because it would be pointless as long as all world corporations were similarly limited including pseudo-governmental corporations (e.g. from China, Dubai, Russia). How about a much smaller step: bring in 33% of the Federal Reserve Board's voting membership from labor organizations instead of from banks? At least in one aspect of the economy middle class American's interests could be represented.

Where's your link about democrats and education?

And, why are you picking on me (and looking like an idiot... it's not working)? Again, I've done none of the things that you seem to claim.

Your cool little term seemed to be a hit with everyone here:

A Republican lawyer said that Clinton did it, but actually lied. You can read what really happened here. Clinton and his people conducted themselves completely within the confines of the law.

Aldrich Ames spy case is not an example of illegal warrantless wiretaps or searches by the Clinton Administration.
