"I heard Bush ended this strike by invoking 1947's Taft-Hartley Act. If I were him, I'd leave that boring crap back in ninth-grade history, where it belongs."

Randall <br>Smithson • Electrician

"Oh, good. I would have just died if some shit on a boat in San Francisco didn't get unloaded."

Gordie Runnels • File Clerk
