Breaking...and not so breaking news

Transit Worker Union leader Roger Toussaint was sentenced to a 10-day jail term for inciting a 3-day illegal strike that left New Yorkers in the cold in last December. Roger Green, a democratic assemblyman from Brooklyn who sided with the union said the jail term gives Roger Toussaint "rock-star" status. I say WTF? He can't compare Toussaint to Martin Luther King Jr.

Jacques Chirac rolled back the CPE labor law. Unpopular economic reform is not going to work with the French. Don't worry about the French, as long as the gullible Asians are still lining up to buy Louis Vuitton and Chanel, they will do just fine.

Jeffrey Skilling, former Enron CEO, proclaimed he was "abolutely innocent." Let's see if the jury buy that.

While the Jewish folks celebrate Passover and the Christians celebrate Easter, I being a "gentile" just celebrate the arrival of Spring. I got to celebrate something. I refuse to be left out without celebrating anything.

    Do you get any holiday for Easter or Passover in NYC? Officially, we get three days of holiday for Easter. I don't need to go back to work from 14-17 April, inclusive.

This is basically a Dorothy yellow brick road kind of story.  Also, something to do with the new replaces the old, the circle of life thing....
