    Great to see how HTWW Posters have turned toward the truth on this issue!

    Big change, just in the past week! Thank you all! (That's not "Y'all.")

    Tennessee Republican Senator Corker is gunning for the UAW, but the UAW already has provided gigantic concessions, not just recently... over the past couple decades.

    He and his fancy-haircut Confederate pals are insisting on their circa-1969 cartoon Neocon preconceptions. The real world passed them by decades ago. They are starting a new Civil War, just because they can. They are not leaders.

    Where are their retirement savings? Are they buying cannon-ball and bayonet stock? What was the name of that Athenian demogogue who took over after Pericles died? The guy who ran Athens into the ground? What did a Classical Greek Southern accent sound like?
