The share of income going to the middle class has fallen in almost perfect correlation with the declining percentage of people working in jobs where they enjoy a union. Collective, democratic representation in the workplace is essential to shared and durable economic prosperity.

Contact from Bob Dylan

As some of us Dylan fans know, our man Bob is kind of indifferent to mass recognition. He has been quite un-vocal about his Nobel Peace Prize. There is a post on Twitter indicating he won’t be attending the award ceremony. So, I re-Tweeted that with a comment ” – who cares”.  Bob “Liked” my re-Tweet. I laughed my ass off.  I examined the Twitter page closely and this might not be the real Bob Dylan. It might just be a fan’s blog. I can’t tell by the number of followers he has. 

Ew ew ew – I Want To Coin a Phrase

I got up at 3:11 this morning. Couldn’t sleep. Just one of those, it’s time to get up moments. I glanced at Twitter and thought “I guess I’m ‘pulling a Trump'”. So, from now on when ever I get up in the middle of the night I’m going to say, “I was PULLING A TRUMP”.

Reason for Debate Loss

It had nothing to do with the microphone. If the mike fed the tv feed for 80 million people then the mike was not the issue. Perhaps it was the speaker system in the auditorium. 

The reason why Trump lost is because he was not prepared. He has no positions on foreign policy, domestic policy, energy issues, Veteran issues, education, nor anything else of importance to the American public. 

He’s a bully, a liar, someone who actually lives in his own fantasy of greatness, and clearly unqualified as leader of the free world.
