12904 [lbo-talk] Union top Dennis Rivera: "No one throws a party -- rank: 1000

Unions tops earn a lot of money, and treat themselves to nice expense account junkets. It's exactly that kind of thing that makes Americans cynical about organized labor. According to Gallup, just 24% of the US public has & ...

12910 [lbo-talk] Fwd: Aharon Shabtai: The Poet of Israeli Shame -- rank: 1000

From: Sara Roy Date: September 24, 2006 9:42:08 PM EDT Aharon Shabtai who is considered one of the greatest poets in Hebrew, could not publish his latest poem against the war on Lebanon in any "Israeli" paper. He wrote this poem during the first week of the war. It is in the form of a prayer and supplication raised so that the occupation army may lose the war. "In time of war I side with the villages with the mosques in this war I side with the Shiite family with Sour (Tyre) w ...

Just did, and I don't see anything like what you claim. But my review was not exhaustive, so maybe I'm missing something. Please point out anything I've missed.

12915 [lbo-talk] more fan mail: You've lost another faithful listener. -- rank: 1000

Gotta love the style of argument of 9/11 truthers. "Hearst yellow journalism" said the Loose Change kids to the Pop Mech crew. And "you make me sick" from this fella. Love the note at the bottom: "We have no personal confirmation as to the validity of this story...." Sounds good though, doesn't it?
