Black Thursday

Are you ready? A one day strike by hundreds of thousands of workers begins today. Government, transportation, hospitals, power companies and schools…all shut down.

These workers are protesting against the government’s handling of the economy and those bailout gifts. The bailouts of financial institutions and auto makers will cost trillions, while jobs are lost and far too many people suffer.

Unfortunately, today’s one day strike by the people, is in France.

We Americans will be busy buying shitty beer and chips for Super Bowl Sunday, while simultaneously bitching about the price of gas and a Happy Meal. Or depending on one’s outlook, bitching about the price of shade grown, organically harvested and child labor free avocados.

To the streets my people…Revolution! Well, nah. Fuck it. I need to wash my truck.
