A co-worker came up to me the other day stating she and her husband got a letter from Metcalfe with a series of excuses against a boycott. She was trying to argue against a boycott because poor Metcalfe was tied in historically to contracts with Johnsonville and the charities that would be hurt. What I find so interesting here [...]

You recently asked the people on the street if they supported a boycott of local businesses. I think you asked the wrong question. The right question is, should workers be forced to purchase goods from companies whose agenda is to destroy their right to collectively bargain. I say no. I, as an individual or as [...]

Some businesses are responding, saying that employee contributions to political campaigns don’t tell the whole story. via WISC Madison. The irony is just to much to bear.  Here is the big lie, oh it was not the corporation or business that made the donation, but a rouge employee. Bull shit. This is the same fools game Obama played [...]

One day a florist went to a barber for a haircut. After the cut, he asked about his bill, and the barber replied, ‘I cannot accept money from you, I’m doing community service this week.’ The florist was pleased and left the shop. When the barber went to open his shop the next morning, there [...]

I have to admit one of my biggest irritations is the M word. Americans are strange creatures, ant one from the super poor to the super rich identify with the concept middle class.  I am not middle class nor do i ever want to be. I am a proud member of America’s fighting working class. At best the middle [...]

On Sun, Mar 6, 2011 at 9:50 AM, Chris Rickert <CRickert@madison.com> wrote: Henry: I agree with your analysis to a point. That point is when you call for an end to free trade. I think it’s perfectly OK for the production of goods to move to where it’s cheapest. In fact, it’s inevitable. I don’t. To accept [...]

Say what you want about Gov. Scott Walker, there’s no doubt he’s forcing us to expend some serious mental energy on the excruciatingly dull, albeit important, particulars of state finance. via Chris Rickert: Chris, You are certainly correct to put the blame on both parties, but what you leave out is the role failed neo-liberal [...]

Madison’s poor have the union’ backs, will unions reciprocate via Chris Rickert: Chris, I was taken aback by your recent hit job on teachers and their union. It appeared you had taken a page out of FOX’s play-book by trying to put a wedge between the working class. First, you must have missed a good amount of the [...]

Someone once said computers should be so easy you just turn them on TV. They must have been thinking about Linux. You push the power button, load Firefox, and go to a website. Push the power button again to shutdown. Share this:

As we learned recently the rage is high In Madison, Wisconsin even if the protesters (teabaggers) were wearing shorts and palm trees were all around. It is in this tradition I bring you my Fox like poll. z Share this:

I remember hearing that line as a kid before getting the belt. So, yes “by any means necessary” but those means should hurt Walker more than ourselves. The rumblings are talk of a general strike in which we shut down industry in the state. My only concern with this strategy is it might help Walker [...]

Oh yes we did. Â Nerad was forced to do what he should have from the very beginning. As of late Tuesday evening, 40% of the 2,600 members of the teacher bargaining unit called in sick, and it is expected that this number will continue to increase through Wednesday morning. At this ratio we have serious [...]

I have always preferred Linux Mint to straight up Ubuntu. It tends to run better and I love the Mint Menu. It more or less allows me total control of my operating system through the menu. So, when I bought the Ubuntu centric Starling from System76, I was a little disappointed Mint would not work. [...]

That is what readers of an article on inflation in Argentina would likely conclude. The article tells readers that Argentina’s government: “has tried to quell concerns about mounting inflation by continuing to keep the economy growing at China-like rates.” Beat the Press. Why if you don’t follow Dean baker you should. He is  able to [...]

Give me a fucking break. “If any of the violence is instigated by the government, it should stop immediately,” said White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs. via HuffPo. With all the moral wimpishness  in regards to the Egypt issue, I hold Obama responsible for the Mabarak backlash. Now, I don’t know if this is his Jimmy Carter [...]

Capitalists love the term “free market”  because embedded in the concept is relinquishing all moral responsibility for the ideal. The answer to the consequences of the “free market” is always it was not “free” enough. We in fact saw this fallacy in full bloom with the banks. Clearly a result of the extremities of an unregulated “free [...]
