Now we know why the strikers are blocking outside work (even voluntary) - people interviewed on City TV noted that the volunteers and private companies did a far better job than the union ever has.

Did I mention that we have ambulances and cops coming out our butts and they will remove the skunk from under your deck? Did I mention that their is an 18 hole golf course within walking distance?  Sorry, I forgot. It's all about smelly carp. I also forgot to mention that we have 20 pounders here and people eat them you know. Did I say that? Heh...
