Dominick's workers voted overwhelmingly Sunday night to reject Safeway Corporation's contract offer and authorize their negotiating committee to call a strike if the company fails to come up with a fairer contract offer.

This is something I wrote to a carpenter's list serve after debate about the elections.

I've uploaded clips taken around 8:30 pm tonight (Sunday) as Dominick's workers exited the strike vote.

Thompson discusses 9-11 and also, rabid patriotism that blinds people from thinking straight: All on Australian Broadcasting Corporation (because American media is scared shitless of the angry mob our nation has become ;-)

"From the start, the Bush Administration has insisted that anything like the 'planes-as-weapons' scenario of 9-11 was 'unthinkable' before 9-11. That's a Huge Lie. On Sept. 11, 2001 they had a brand new counter-terror emergency response plan in place at the Pentagon for exactly that scenario, and had a counter-terror 'wargame' set to begin on exactly that scenario that very morning in the nation's capitol."
