So much to write about, so little time...

This week past has brought about a plethora that it is only fair to provide a summary of the news and events shaping this mind...

She is, she might be, SHE IS!

Did anyone really think that Hillary wasn't going to run...well, at least "explore" running?

On Saturday, Her Highness, Hillary Clinton graced us with her sort-of announcement of her intention of running for President of the United States by posting on her website her formation of an "exploratory committee." This is kind of like announcing that she's only half-pregnant?

To further create some excitement is the fact that her mid-winter announcement came amidst a back-drop of greenery that one usually finds in the Springtime--making pundits wonder: When did this rather indecisive stand-by-her-man woman tape this half-pregnant announcement?

In the meantime, just a full news cycle into Her Higness Hillary's exploratory campaign, one of her pollsters is claiming that arch-rivals Obama and Edwards' campaigns are "stalled or falling".

Speaking of Obama...

Is Barak Obama JFK reincarnated? A just fawning article in the from the Sun-Times News Group compares Barak Obama's "rock star aura" to that of the late JFK. Crazy, huh? First of all, the man does have some hype to his name...But to compare him to JFK is just a little ridiculous. To me, it's something akin to the hype that surrounded Howard Dean before his implosion in Iowa.

In other news...

Non-union trucking co. Swift has been sold in an all-cash transaction. While that is not news in itself, the fact that the Teamsters opposed the sale is interesting...BUT, what is more interesting is the revelation that the Teamsters, according to the article posted online, owns about 20% of the non-union company's shares!

Unions striking unions...In Canada, where all things cold reside, it seems Teamster members are on strike against their employer, the SEIU. And, as if to get further egg on the face of the union bosses up North, the UFCW has its office workers out on strike, as well. It seems the UFCW's workers are upset because their employer (the union) is seeking wage and benefit cuts!

Wait a minute! You mean a union that supposedly cares for workers is demanding wage cuts from its own staff?!? Now if that isn't hypocrisy at its finest!...
