MLK Jr. Memorial Built With Free Chinese Labor,... →
Roger Simon of POLITICO writes:
The ‘Stone of Hope’ statue of Dr. King was sculpted in China by a Chinese sculptor out of Chinese granite and shipped to the United States where it was assembled by Chinese workers.
The Chinese workers were paid nothing — which would seem to me to violate not only Dr. King’s principles but also U.S. anti-slavery laws — though they...

Goldman Sachs VP Changed His Name, Now Advances... →
We’ve always known there’s been a revolving door between the federal government and Goldman Sachs. But this person’s story brings it to a whole new level:

Nader certain that a Democrat will challenge Obama...

GOP wants to stop unions at all costs
In the interest of destroying labor unions, House Republicans have blocked all funding for the Federal Aviation Administration (which is of course heavily unionized). To clarify, these are the folks that make sure we get from point A to point B safely when we fly on airplanes. As if that weren’t bad enough, the tea party seems to care very little about the resulting loss of hundreds of...
