Pack got rudely introduced to life in post-crisis America last August, when word came down that she and 1,000 of her fellow public employees would have to take a little unpaid vacation for a while. The county, it turned out, was more than billion in debt — meaning that courthouses, jails and sheriff's precincts had to be closed so that Wall …http://www.twitpic.com/ckap0l

Stewart mocked how much CNN kept boasting of its “exclusive reporting,” which turned ot to be exclusive “because it was completely fucking wrong,” and was even more blown away by how CNN was subsequently backing away from and questioning that very report. Stewart described this as the network “shit[ting] in their own mouths,” christening CNN “the Human Centipede of News.” RELATED: Jeff Zucker Attributes CNN Criticism To Jealousy: ‘Just …http://www.twitpic.com/ckb3e4

I live in Mayfield, Ky., population about 10,000. A big Continental General Tire plant was our factory. It’s been gone for a half-dozen years. Some local merchants, hurting for customers, are still blaming the “greedy union,” United Steelworkers (USW) Local 665, for the plant’s demise.
