Randomness in the news
New York Transit Strike. Look for Bloomberg to break the union. Organized Labor just shot itself in the foot with a Howitzer. Primadonnas striking for more money than they could possibly be worth, while inconveniencing millions of people during the biggest retail week of the year.
Leftist reaction to the Bush/NSA flap. Left-wing columnists and pundits are now talking about “impeachment” if the Democrats take over the House in 2006. I called that in 2001. The Democrats promised it after the Clinton impeachment.
Videogames in the crosshairs. If Hillary and Joe get their way on video games, look for them to attack movies next. And look for the Congress to be emboldened to go after satellite radio and pay tv. There have already been grumblings in the Senate by idiots who are pissed that Stern is slipping through their fingers by going to Sirius.
“War on Christmas”. Those who are “offended” by Christmas and its symbols in the public square would do well to remember that without Christians, this nation would not exist, and the freedoms they enjoy wouldn’t either. I’d much rather live in a country where I need to tolerate a religious festival that I don’t believe in, than live in a country where I can have my head separated from my body for not embracing the state religion with sufficient enthusiasm.
