I'm in the process of starting a new job at work. Not a new company, but a promotion from my old job. The downside is I have to work 2nd shift, but I'm not talking to costumers anymore, Plus, I get to play boss!....Keeping with my personal policy of keeping details about my job off public forums, if you want more details, e-mail me. If you don't have my address, I have a link on the main website, that will send me an e-mail.
Thanks
Marc
It's funny how the hypocrisy of both The Blade and to a certain point WSPD showed up with the recent labor problems that The Blade. Lets deal with The Blade first.
The Blade traditional supports union causes and politicians who suppose union causes. That has been apparent with the way it reports the news, and the editorial sections of the paper. Also, The Blade will generally endorse democrats politicians (who get a majority of the union supporters) around election time. With the current lock out, they are alianating allot of those union members that they support and in turn support them. They are taking the roll of the "Big Bad" corporation that many of it's normal supporters fight against, and in stories in the paper, the type of companies that they have invesgated fron wrong doing. Now..Lets take a look at WSPD.
I guess this appears to fall under the phase "The Enemy of my Enemy is my friend". When the first lockouts happened WSPD had one of the Union Reps for the paper on air. Now considering the generally pro business stances that the station has taken in the past, this seems a little odd for WSPD. Since then, they have also had another Rep for the union on WSPD. The first Rep was on the Fred LeFebvre show, which doesn't suprise me, considering how long he has worked for Clear channel, and have been fighting the Blade, but when one appeared on the Brian Wilson show couple a weeks ago, that did. Brian, a libertarian, who belive that The owner of the Company has the right to run their company anyway they see fit, had given me the impression of being anti-union, had an union rep on his show. For me, the Conservative/libertarion views express normally on WSPD have lost creditably with the union support they are giving to the locked out employees at The Blade, but then agian, with The Blade locking out the Union, They lost most if not all creditability with it's pro union stance. Kinda makes you think..Who can you trust in Toledo, with 2 of the top sources of news and commentary counterdicting themselves...For that, I'm calling shenanigans
Once agian, sorry about the lag between posts.I've been VERY busy, and when I get that way, the blog gets neglected.
For those of you who know me, I like to listen to the "Bob and Tom" show. Recently one of the friends of the Bob and Tom show, Heywood Banks, released a song called "Big Butter Jesus", about a extremely big Jesus statule on I-75 between Dayton and Cincinnati. The following slide show on you tube that someone made of Haywood's Song..:)
