I told you last week about the possibility of a potentially ruinous longshoremen’s strike at East Coast and Gulf ports this month.

Photoshop credit: Moonbattery As long as Barack Obama insists on spinning fables about the auto bailout, I will continue to call attention to the forgotten victims and sacrificial lambs who got screwed.
