As they assembled cars Thursday, workers at Chrysler's Sterling Heights assembly plant were talking about their new labor contract, wondering if Wednesday's six-hour strike was enough to get a good deal from the company. Even as they waited to hear the details, industry analysts were predicting crosstown rival Ford will try to get more concessions than Chrysler.

Sliming Graeme Frost
Seeded on Fri Oct 12, 2007 8:02 AM EDT (The New York Times)

The American way of torture
Seeded on Thu Oct 11, 2007 8:21 AM EDT (Socialist Worker)
Bush's previous assurances he rejected torture were so much hot air. The twice-illegitimately installed regime's use of torture isn't about protecting Americans, but opening the way to expand the repressive powers of the state. ====

Democrats bow to Wall Street, saving tax break for billionaires
Seeded on Wed Oct 10, 2007 8:22 AM EDT (World Socialist Web Site)
[T]he Democrats' climb-down on closing the tax loophole for the country's wealthiest is merely one more confirmation that this party—no less than the Republicans—represents and defends the interests not of working people, but those of the ruling elite.
Captives of the Supply Side
Seeded on Tue Oct 9, 2007 7:14 AM EDT (The New York Times)
Every major Republican contender — Rudy Giuliani, Fred Thompson, Mitt Romney — has said that the Bush tax cuts have caused government revenues to rise. No prominent Republican office-seeker dare challenge this dogma for fear of offending the economic far right.

Seeded on Mon Oct 8, 2007 2:13 PM EDT (Slate)

5 Myths About Sick Old Europe

In the global economy, today's winners can become tomorrow's losers in a twinkling, and vice versa. Not so long ago, American pundits and economic analysts were snidely touting U.S. economic superiority to the "sick old man" of Europe. What a difference a few months can make.

CJ Roberts probably suffered a TIA causing him to fall. And how many knew this was his second “mini-stroke”? Were his health issues disclosed during or before his hearings? Or did he lie about that too? He should be impeached.
