The number 1 item on most of my sources today?...the UAW strike...the 3 major US auto workers...the union...I suppose a bad word for many of you rich cats...had it as a teacher...and as a cannery worker...my recollection of a near strike when I got my first carton of chalk, was kinda mystifying...I needed the scratch... understood later on, the importance of...for us common folk...

MSNBC was floating around the idea, that Taylor Swift could sway people to vote one way, or the other...some, I think...did JFK get help from Frank Sinatra?...the campaign song...hmmm...you know, politicians would do anything to get a vote...anything...why not use the stars?...quick, Demos, get ahold of Ms Swift...write us a song...and not 'Ol Man River'...
