And the Beat Goes On ...

This week the media reported that John Thain, the (now) former CEO of Merrill Lynch spent $1.2 million of conmpnay money to redecorate his office. The DailyBeast.com has the breakdown. In the same day of news, you can read the GOP is holding up the nomination of the President's pick for Secretary of Labor. They are worried she supports the Employee Free Choice Act, which would allow unions to organize based on a card check.

Corporate malfeasance and the GOP looks the other way. Some mook wants a living wage and two weeks vacation and they are on it like white on rice. Time and time again we are confronted with our government's obvious preference for the rich over the working class. Time and time again we pretend like that somehow makes sense.
