pillowtex laying off 6,000

[swinney]

4,000 in north carolina

several small towns will be devastated.

sad to hear workers there over 25 years how they hurt. few skills.

it is very very sad. families die inside.

insurance stopped day they were or will be laid off.

No pension. No severance pay.

God bless capitalism.

1. they had this story on CNN or MSNBC yesterday,

there was a woman who was getting laid off and she said "Thank you President Bush." I nearly fell off the seat because they actually aired that. This may be what it takes to get people pissed off enough to get rid of that sob. (Though it is a shame that this has to happen).

4. Another year....

... of DUHbya, How many people will he piss off before then.
But then again he can always buy another election.

2. In a sane world that would equate to 6000 votes for Democratic candidates.

But it's not a sane world.

3. People do learn when it hits them personally.

Especially Americans. We don't like it when it's so fucking blatantly obvious we're being shitted on. I think this is one of those instances where more people than you think will change their political orientiation (assuming they weren't liberal to begin with).

5. What does Liddy Dole say about this?

Or is she too busy playing "hide the payola"?
