- Former Tom DeLay aide Tony Rudy pleads guilty to conspiracy charges and agrees to cooperate with federal investigators. That would be considered GOOD NEWS for those who believe in honest and ethical governance, and AWFUL NEWS by Tom DeLay. Oh well.

All these “associates” of Tom DeLay… pleading guilty and cooperating with investigators… gee… I wonder what bigger fish they’ve got on the line ready to cough up? Hmmmmm.

- The current issue of the Beast offers some profound clarity and science regarding the illegal immigrant brouhaha.

- House Conservatives volunteering America’s prison population to pick our nation’s crops offer neither clarity nor science to said brouhaha.

Slaves labor… illegal immigrant labor… prison labor: the backbone of America’s great economy. I’ll never be able to sing that Lee Greenwood song again with a clear conscience.

And don’t forget Richard Lipsitz, Teamster Political Affairs Rep and Rachael Wilson from UB Students Against Sweatshops on the WNY Progress Report live tomorrow at 9 AM EST on NewsTalk 1270 and online.

We are SOOO going to kick out the jams. And I meant that shit about slave labor, immigrant labor (legal or otherwise) and now possibly prison inmate labor... I've read Howard Zinn's seminal Peoples History of the United States... tell me I'm wrong.
