I wonder what this UNIONS next move will be? They had to know this might happen, so I hope they have a strategy. Apparenly Walmart has done this before in Texas. Meatcutters unionized and they eliminated that occupation.

BTW, mydd made a good point the other day about how netroots, because of their new economy backgrounds ignore these issues too much, so please recommend this. Oh and if Jiacinto does a drive by troll rating on my responces, like he did my last diary, give me a bump. Apparently disgussing liberal economic issues makes me a troll in his eyes. Go figure.

This is the third time I have posted on this issue. Since it is getting uglier and uglier, expect more. Also recommend this diary since it is undercovered. The national media has pretty much stayed away from it except for something in the Washington Post, which I posted the other day. Anyway to briefly recap, the Governer of Tennessee Phil Bredesen is cutting 300,000 low income people, including the mentally ill, off the states health insurance program. This effort, he says, will save Tenncare for the poorest residents. Read More

I know I am going to get flamed by the people who think we must never post any nasty news from the South, like I did with yesterdays post on Tenncare, but I am posting this anyway. People who don't think this is fit for discussion should go hang out at free republic. I think Kossacks often ignore these issues to much in favor of inside baseball, so please recommend it.

Anyway according to "The Tennessean"Law enforcement officials and judges predict many of these mentally ill people will end up in jail. Read More

The worse thing is, that this man is a Democrat. He claims he is doing this because of a budget crisis, but Tennessee had a budget surplus last year. Before he became Governer, he was a CEO for an HMO. Surprise! Surprise! This bill will particularly hit the mentally ill , who will not be able to work if they are not medicated. Link

According to the article Jeb Bush is happy to imitate his example.

Yeah he is one of those icky "republican lite" Dems TNR thinks is the future of the Democratic Party. He was on their cover this month. Read More

I believe that there will be a draft and instead of fighting it, I am going to fight to make sure Bush voters and other Neocons get drafted. This means no exemptions for college, anal cysts, or being an only son of a farmer, or marriage or any other stupid things. No I won't allow a National Guard or National Service exemption either. They can serve in those instututions for a couple of years after their two years in the real military. I don't want any Champaign units for guys like Bush. Bush supported Viet Nam and he should have fought in it. I am not sympathetic to Libertarian arguments of the draft being involuntary servitude. Read More

Alabama Vote Opens Old Racial Wounds
School Segregation Remains a State Law as Amendment Is Defeated

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- On that long-ago day of Alabama's great shame, Gov. George C. Wallace (D) stood in a schoolhouse door and declared that his state's constitution forbade black students to enroll at the University of Alabama.

He was correct.

Confronted by U.S. Justice Department officials, Alabama Gov. George Wallace stands in the doorway of the all-white University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa to block the admission of two black students in 1963. (Calvin Hannah -- Tuscaloosa News Via AP) Read More

The reason many of us want Howard Dean as Chairman of the DNC is because we think the Party is corrupted by corporate cash. Yesterday, one of the featured bloggers here ran an article about credit card companies abusing Americans. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2004/11/21/17020/945 This blogger said that the Dems could use this as a moral wedge issue against the republicans. They're right! Read More

What could this be about? From http://www.warandpiece.com/

The CIA has raided four offices of the Iraqi National Congress, the INC spokesman reports in a press release:

The Iraqi National Congress today announced that the US Central Intelligence Agency led raids on four INC facilities recently. Three INC offices in Baghdad were attacked on Thursday and the INC office in Najaf was attacked last week by heavily armed US civilians accompanied by masked Iraqis. The offices were vandalized, a number of staff were assaulted, and equipment and documents were stolen. Staff members who requested to see search warrants were beaten and abused and no warrants were produced.

Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) - A state-of-the-art rehabilitation center opening next year at Walter Reed Army Medical Center seeks to return more amputee soldiers to a place once thought impossible: the battlefield.

Besides treadmills and stationary bikes, the $10 million Military Amputee Training Center will have weapons simulators, a climbing and rappelling wall and military vehicle simulators to help soldiers adapt their prosthetics to driving tanks and trucks. Read More

This is also one of the reasons I don't understand Kos's enthusiam for Rosenberg after Dean. Rosenberg has duller fangs then the other dlcers, but he is still dlc.

Rosenberg: ""We're trying to raise money to help them lessen their reliance on traditional interest groups in the Democratic Party."

Just like with the primary season all of the other contenders are dlcers. Look at who has been proposed, thus far, Simon Rosenberg NDN/DLC, John Edwards DLC, John Kerry DLC, Bill Clinton DLC, Donna Brazille ?, Harold Ickes of Clinton whitehouse, and Leon Panetta of the Clinton whitehouse.

Ok, this is pretty much what happened in the primaries, with Dean stacked against atleast five dlcers.
