    Short and to the point. Certainly better than a nose pick :-)

    Wow! Talk about quick and to the point. I have been a scab in the past when a union job I had authorized a strike that was absolutely ridiculous. The union agreed to a 2 cent an hour increase, after which they quadrupled their dues, thereby negating the increase. During the strike, idle workers were getting a third of their regular salaries, while by working I made my full salary plus all the overtime I could handle. Unions need to be outlawed.

    I could dig it but I'd rather pick it.

    Too funny! This is the first thing I read about the writer's strike. Ran into a friend the other day who is joining the picket lines because without writers he is losing bit parts in TV shows. I really should go read the details of that news.
