    Yesterday I mentioned the impending strike by Long Island Rail Road employees. Did not have time to mention the potential one among engineers and electricians at the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority. At 12:01AM they went on strike. This could have been prevented, at least temporarily. Governor Corbett could have requested President Obama appoint a PEB under the Railway Labor Act, and while they were investigating, it would have been up to a 240 day moratorium. He did not make the request. I don’t know if work rule reform was in the negotiations, it I think that they got some room to cut. SOUNDER runs with an engineer and conductor, and sometimes a security guard or two checking fares. SEPTA sometimes has 5 conductors on a train.

    The reason why there could be Federal intervention in these disputes, is that operations like SEPTA and LIRR are legacies of private railroads, whose commuter operations were taken over by state agencies. SEPTA is former Pennsylvania Rail Road and Reading, while LIRR is former PRR. They are covered by the Federal Railway Labor Act, whose contracts don’t exactly expire. These debates usually are over amendments.
    http://www.nmb.gov/resources/d.....labor-act/

    Also, when the NLRB was facing the lack of a quorum, the Senate did not block a quorum to the counterpart that oversees the Railway Labor Act, the National Mediation Board. Unlike the NLRB, railroad and airline employees had recourse in the Federal Courts.

    Geroge Will’s WA Post column on rape http://www.washingtonpost.com/.....story.html Then read the spin cycle posted by DA Anthropology Perfessa above. These are two different worlds here poops. Where does George Will claim it’s A-OTAY to rape someone? Please demonstrate the exact paragraph! It’s libtards when called out on their phony progressivism who want that person shut-up, fire, arrested, etc. and called special names that progressives dream up in their DREAM Acts!

  5. 5

    You can TRULY understand (well… not really) the libtard mind when you listen to these third and fourth tier “commentators” with their really wrong reasons why Eric Cantor lost. Puddy shocked they didn’t bring up Cantor’s heritage as the real reason. Libtards always go for the racist reasons first.

    Puddy now spending time listening to boko haram lover http://horsesass.org/friday-ni.....nt-1261037 Thom Fartmann for comedic relief. Otherwise Puddy would ignore him like those PMSNBC idiots. What a quack… Brat spent 100K on his campaign. Brat doesn’t teach Any Rand economics. Brat said that himself. Yet when you listen to Fartmann you hear lie after lie about Brat. Tie Brat to the Koch Brothers. Even nutburger Scary Land Deal Reid has moved on from that for the time being. Smear Brat’s name because that’s what DUMMOCRETINS do to anyone who challenges their ideology.

    When you Google Professor Brat’s name you see all these libtard commenters who are CLUELESS on who Dave Brat is. If you remember last Tuesday night Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz rushed out and claimed the tea part was behind Cantor’s loss when the tea party didn’t fund Brat’s campaign. She’s as stoooooooooopid as ever and her district deserves Blabbermouth. It’s always the DUMMOCRETIN spin machine in action. After two minutes of Fartman, Puddy had to kill the link. Puddy became physically ill listening to Fartmann!

    Great job Da Perfessa in using Thom Fartmann again to provide lie after lie in your Friday Night Comix!

  6. 6

    Just these two fourth tier morons offered by the Friday Night Comix Perfessa make Puddy’s case on the loonacy offered every Friday night!

    David Pakman: Right Wing media doesn’t get to decide if Bergdahl is a deserter. – Only libtards like are making that claim Pakman. It was his platoon mates and the Army made that decision you IDIOT! No one in the platoon has come forward to say anythong otherwse!

    Matt Binder: Taliban torturerd Bergdahl – Because Bergdahl deserted his post on purpose and reaped the consequences of that action five long years ago.

    Matt Binder: Who are the 5 Taliban swapped for Bergdhal? – Very bad dudes – 4 have sworn to rejoin the Afghan killing fields against Americans. Apparently they didn’t receive Obummer’s memo the war is over in Afghanistan.

    Comedy at it’s best from these fourth tier toilet outlets.

  7. 7

    Jon: What the fuck is going on in Iraq. – Well Obummer not paying attention again… http://online.wsj.com/articles.....1402529874 When you think as a DUMMOCRETIN, you are always caught off-guard! Another fourth tier toilet not getting it. Their progressive utopia ideal blown up by ISIS!

    Butt, don’t evacuate the Americans in Baghdad! Go to a fundraiser http://www.bizpacreview.com/20.....pts-125248, that’s the Obummer way. Nothing too big to stop fundraising. http://twitchy.com/2014/06/13/.....s-the-fan/

    Christie’s risk of falling over dead might not be as great as it used to be.

    He’s always had a pretty good sense of humor about his weight:

    Christie declared that he will be “a big fat winner” on Election Day in an interview on Don Imus’s New York-based radio show Thursday morning in which the former U.S. Attorney repeatedly mentioned his weight.

    “I’m pretty fat Don,” Christie declared.

    “You weigh?” Imus asked.

    “550 pounds,” Christie jokingly responded.

    The Seattle Times says bidding wars, waiving appraisals, and all-cash offers are back in the Bellevue housing market. Zillow says my burrow is up 12% since January 1. Acquaintances tell me Seattle apartment rents are soaring. Sounds like the $15 minimum wage will need to become a $25 minimum wage by the time it gets here.

  14. 14

    @ 13

    A few months ago you wrote that your dwelling was worth $300k. In Seattle there’s nowhere for a valuation like that to go but up, RR.

    I once thought you were being euphemistic when you wrote you live in a burrow. But it really is a shithole, isn’t it?

    Crooked Capitalists Dep’t

    “Goldman Sachs Group Inc will pay $67 million and Bain Capital Partners LLC will pay $54 million to settle their portions of a lawsuit accusing several of the world’s largest private equity firms of conspiring not to outbid each other on companies they sought to buy. The preliminary settlement with former shareholders of publicly traded companies that were acquired in buyouts was disclosed in papers filed on Wednesday with the U.S. District Court in Boston, and requires court approval.”

    http://www.reuters.com/article.....ompanyNews

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: Of course, workers displaced by these buyouts won’t get a penny. It’s bad enough being a shareholder, but workers have it far worse.

  16. 16

    @ 15

    It’s bad enough being a shareholder…

    Dozens, if not hundreds of posts by you, telling us how great it is being a shareholder and getting money without working.

  17. 17

    But it really is a shithole, isn’t it?

    How nasty and vile is Mr. Bobby “I’ve got it made but can’t go Galt just yet”…

    Damn! The resentments are so freaking strange and go so disturbingly deep.

    RR is doing something right to bring out this repressed rage from this very sad person for everyone to see.

    Demand the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation DIVEST from corporate education reform! Build a coalition! Activate! http://thndr.it/1myyK6C
    Retweeted by Goldy

    By funding a rolling train of Vergara trial results through state after state, the Gates Foundation can attempt to bust the largest unions in the country — the National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers Unions. Then it will only be a matter of time before the rest our nations’ unions will fall like dominoes.

    http://educatingthegatesfoundation.com/

    Um, that doesn’t sound at all like “It’s for the children.” It sounds like you want to protect the union status quo.

    Blog topics like this:

    BILL AND MELINDA GATES: A THREAT TO OUR NATION’S UNIONS – THE #VERGARA TRIAL

    don’t sound so good, either.

    If you’re trying to influence a foundation largely funded by a guy who expects Microsoft employees to, you know, actually perform and achieve results, claiming that he’s trying to bust the teachers’ unions, which abhor virtually any requirement that their members’ performance be measured and that their underperformers be culled, is pretty much a nonstarter.

    “It’s for the children.” Go back to that. You don’t really mean it, but it sounds better.

  20. 20

    Bobby @ 19

    Yawwwwnn.. What no Michelle Malkin and her vitriolic “common core” rhetoric??

    Where’s the anti-Bill and Melinda rant Bobby? Oh forgive me! There’s unions to bust!

    And no I’m not a fan of the gatesfoundation “education” agenda which at last read appeared bizarrely testing industry driven.

  22. 22

    Looks like with the SEPTA Regional Rail strike, Governor Corbett will seek a Presidential Emergency Board under the Railway Labor Act after all. I wonder if November has anything to do with his decision. While the PEB does it’s work, the strike will be suspended up to 240 days.

    Is the clueless crazed cretin trying to fart on this thread? Smelly fart from 2011? Sheesh! Nuthin evah makes sense from the clueless crazed cretin!

    Interesting article by the leftists of the New Yorker… http://www.newyorker.com/onlin.....egacy.html

    For many months, the Obama and Maliki governments talked about keeping a residual force of American troops in Iraq, which would act largely to train Iraq’s Army and to provide intelligence against Sunni insurgents. (It would almost certainly have been barred from fighting.) Those were important reasons to stay, but the most important went largely unstated: it was to continue to act as a restraint on Maliki’s sectarian impulses, at least until the Iraqi political system was strong enough to contain him on its own. The negotiations between Obama and Maliki fell apart, in no small measure because of a lack of engagement by the White House.

    DAYUM, sounds like Obummer with the VA scandal… lack of engaging by Obummer identified again! Butt, he’ll blame it on someone else!

  26. 26

    Oh my… did Da Perfessa not read The Daily Beast before putting up that Bergdahl horse manure? http://dailycaller.com/2014/06.....y-anymore/ Ummm yeah Bergdahl admits to LEAVING his base. AWOL baby.

    And those fourth tier toilets above in todays Comix entry are screaming about Republicans telling the TRUTH?

    Cry Puddy a river!

  27. 27

    Teacher unions to bust over bad teacher tenure? Kewl! http://dailycaller.com/2014/06.....er-tenure/ Seems Common Core was something funded by whom?

    But, in 2009, the National Governors Association convened to develop a set of standards in education. The result, the so-called Common Core, was promoted by an aggressive federal program called “Race to the Top.” It gave states incentives for hasty implementation of Common Core standards.

    Race to the Top was begun by Arne Duncan. Back then, Duncan put his money where his mouth was.

    Soooooooooooooooo Obummer’s Education point man was thoroughly involved. How many low information DUMMOCRETIN loving voters knew this? Puddy bets HA’s clueless crazed cretin didn’t know that!

  29. 29

    @16 “getting money without working”

    Imagine how much worse working without getting money must be.

    Hey IDIOT Wabbit @12, Can’t find anything on leftist blogs to refute these facts so another PuddyAttack?

    Typical!

    @28 Why didn’t he kill both of them? Is he a bleeding heart? Or merely a lousy shot?

  32. 32

    @30 Not willing to make the effort, because you’re not worth the effort. Besides, I was on my way to the library to read the new magazines for free, and didn’t have time this morning for your horseshit. So I just got out the strainer net, which works well enough.

  33. 33

    @14 “But it really is a shithole, isn’t it?”

    Compared to what? I’d rather be here than buried under Oso. It’s okay for two rabbits, and I’ll bet I don’t pay your taxes. And it’s much comfier than my former foxhole in Vietnam. Now there was a real shithole, and I have Tricky Dicky “Cut-And-Run” Nixon to thank for that. It always sucks to be a goverment employee when Reoublians run things.

  35. 35

    Actually, that Chehalis sign has a history. It was originally put up in a different location by a guy named Hamilton who owned a turkey farm. The state sued Hamilton to have the sign removed as visual blight, but the Washington State Supreme Court decided Hamilton’s First Amendment rights superseded the anti-billboard statute. Eventually the turkey farm was sold, and Hamilton’s son moved the sign to its present location on the other side of the freeway, where he has his trout farm. I’m actually kind of fond of that sign — driving past it is like encountering an old friend in some ways — but Hamilton’s messages could use a little humor. He comes across as an angry crank.

  37. 37

    but Hamilton’s messages could use a little humor. He comes across as an angry crank.

    Yep and a right wing tool who (like idiot Alan West) used Bowe Bergdahl when it suited the always wrong wing “cause”.

  38. 38

    @14 “A few months ago you wrote that your dwelling was worth $300k. In Seattle there’s nowhere for a valuation like that to go but up, RR.”

    No problem, if Seattle housing costs keep going up, we’ll keep raising the minimum wage.

  39. 39

    @37 Oh, I didn’t see that one, did Hamilton join the rightwing lynch mob, too? If so, he’s got Puddypissypants to keep him company.

  40. 40

    @26 “AWOL baby.”

    If true, he should get the same punishment George W. Bush got for the same offense.

  41. 41

    did Hamilton join the rightwing lynch mob, too?

    Don’t know but I’d be surprised if he didn’t and said “Good on TWO TERM President Obama for bringing home a soldier in captivity for 5 years to his parents.”

    I mean REALLY SURPRISED.. If Hamilton did that then he’d have to turn on all the always wrong wing tool bags in the lynch mob.

  42. 42

    If true, he should get the same punishment George W. Bush got for the same offense.

    Another lie from the IDIOT Wabbit!

  43. 43

    One thing clueless crazed cretin will never understand… is Bowe Bergdahl admitted to leaving his post in Afghanistan. AWOL! This is factually in Army records.

    And… you are a moron as evah crazed clueless cretin.

    In France, employees of national railway SNCF are on strike, slowing the country down, but not paralyzing it. A law passed by the previous UMP(the Union for a Popular Movement) government requires some employees of essential industries to still report to work during industrial action. The issue this time, is legislation to put the infrastructures company and passenger operations under a holding company. The unions want it done in house, like it used to be, which can’t happen. The EU mandates separation of the two. What the Socialist party-led National Assembly is proposing, is the closest to what the union wants. It is how Deutsche Bahn is managed in Germany.

    One example of the status quo at SNCF not working. RFF which owns the tracks, didn’t see a need to upgrade stations to handle the new trains SNCF has ordered. The train platforms have to lose a few inches.
    http://www.cnn.com/2014/05/21/.....index.html

    On a lighter note, these trains and more recently ordered, will replace the last of SNCF’ s locomotive hauled stock, with multiple units. The last two editions of Today’s Railways Europe included stories on where to find them, as they are dwindling.

    “Meanwhile leftwrong DUMMOCRETINS are delivering death threats to James O’Keefe. Where is this in the left wrong msm?”

    LMFAO! James O’Keefe. Whiny bitch. O’Keefe, the whiny victim, who after being punked by Josh Fox emitted this classic wingnut whine,

    “The machine is trying to destroy me,” he says. “That’s fascism.”

    So if you punk O’Keefe, it’s fascism, huh? Too lame for fucking words.

    The last of four new streetcars for Atlanta was late because it was accidentally delivered to the wrong state. I can see how it could have happened. Put on the wrong track at the classification yard, probably because it was too delicate to go over the hump, it had to be added to the manifest train later.

    In Minneapolis, the Green Line Light Rail opened yesterday, the second in the Twin Cities. It Connects Minneapolis with St. Paul. Personally, I think that using color names for light rail lines is getting too generic, and the Hiawatha line actually, in timetables, was Metro Route 55.
    http://www.startribune.com/loc.....03591.html

    Also, the new Light Rail vehicles, were tailor made for the Twin Cities climate. Stainless steel frames, heated couplers, and durable hydraulic hoses. Don’t know if they put the extra pantagraph on for keeping the overhead wire clear of ice, like Salt Lake City has on some of their’ s.

    @58 They’re in hiding in case there’s a draft call for cannon fodder to fight another war in Iraq.

    Meanwhile, Republican electeds are wetting their pants, now that their party’s Iraq clusterfuck is falling apart and Al Qaeda is about to become that country’s new landlord.

    Let’s review what the GOP promised the American people when this all started: “the war would last only a few weeks and our presence would end in six months; it would only cost one to $2 billion dollars; our soldiers would be greeted as ‘liberators’ with flowers at their feet; and Iraq’s new democracy would be ‘a beacon for the new Middle East.'”

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/.....f=politics

    We already know who they’re going to blame: It’s Obama’s fault! It’s Obama’s fault! It’s Obama’s fault! It’s Obama’s fault!

    All I can say is, don’t trust these Republican warmongers any farther than you can spit, and preferably not that far. When they demand the U.S. re-engage and fight another war in Iraq, tell them this one is on them — if they want it, they fight it, and they pay for it.

    SCOTUS ruled today that lying on a federal firearms form about who you’re buying a gun for is, in fact, a crime. But this ruling barely squeaked through on a 5-4 vote.

    The majority wrote “the law helps keeps guns out of the hands of those not legally able to buy them, including those with mental illness or previous felony convictions.”

    The dissenting justices were the usual rightwing suspects; and to those guys, straw man purchases of guns for violent criminals and crazy people are perfectly okay and ought to be legal.

    Once extremists get appointed to the court, there’s nothing anyone can do about them. We all have to wait — sometimes decades — for them to retire or die off. The only satisfactory answer is to keep them from being appointed in the first place.

    And that means never voting for Republican presidential candidates, because it is Republican presidents who appoint whackjobs like Roberts, Alioto, Thomas, and Scalia to the court. The only way to keep them off the court is by never electing a Republican to the White House. Never.

    So, no matter how disagreeable a Democratic presidential nominee might be, you’ve got to vote for that person. Because if you don’t, you’ll get SCOTUS decisions like the one we almost got today. We dodged a bullet this time, but just barely.

    “When they demand the U.S. re-engage and fight another war in Iraq, tell them this one is on them — if they want it, they fight it, and they pay for it.”

    This is the money shot! I have been asking Warhawks this question – Are you for a Wartax and are you and your kin willing to die for this war? One guys response was that there is plenty of waste and fraud in the budget to pay for this AND like Dick Cheney’s more important things to do excuse for his 5 deferments during Vietnam war he said that bright people are needed back home for support! So of course he is not willing to spend one iota of HIS blood or treasure. Typical immature boy behavior.

    @ 60

    From the dissent:

    Bruce Abramski bought a gun for his uncle from a fed-
    erally licensed gun dealer, using money his uncle gave him
    for that purpose. Both men were legally eligible to receive
    and possess firearms, and Abramski transferred the gun
    to his uncle at a federally licensed gun dealership in com-
    pliance with state law.

    Personally, of the two counts Abramski was charged with, seems to me it’s grey-zone on the first and he was wrong on the second and probably was correctly convicted.

    This wasn’t a situation in which a gun made it into illegal hands. Reading @ 60 one might not reach that conclusion.

    Hurry up and go on vacation, RR.
