    Here is what I am thinking. Yes, there were probably some outwardly resentful union workers that likely said something...many of 'em can not keep their mouths shut, even during a crisis....I think that's a fair statement. However, it was then taken and run with, exaggerated to the point we have been hearing about.

    Click on the link that I provided and see for yourself, the man from Alabama is being interviewed about the facts, and lays it all out for you. Maybe you need to recalibrate your BS Meter, or go to the upgraded BS 101 Model. I would not call the man from alabama a lier, I think that he is giving straight forward answers.

    All con men are good liars, and very convincing. If they weren't, then they wouldn't be very successful at conning someone.

    windsmith did you click on the link? If the answer is yes, do you think that the guy is lying? I didn't think so, that is all I'm saying, if I were an official for an electric utility, I would't know of any reason to fabricate something like that, what would be the motive of concocting such a thing?

    I disagree that everyone in the northeast is a snob. And it's not the end of the world.
    There is a reason those jack offs attacked NYC on 9/11, because it's the greatest city in the world!

    But what do I know.....

    Fox = blatantly and unapologetically conservative

    Alabama = red state (conservative)

    Conservative = Anti-union

    Presidential election coming up.

    Need any more reason to suspect bias and spin?

    I'm not posting this to start a political argument, I'm just posting to say that political influence and bias cannot be ignored when one is evaluating the truthfulness of a statement.
