I am on vacation and have time to read the papers. Some paid lobbyist just got a [letter](http://limaohio.com/opinion/240776/celebrating-workersmemorial-day) printed in the Lima, Ohio News. I Googled, he (she?) managed to get the same letter published in a number of other papers too: The Modesto (California) Bee The Oklahoman The Desert Valley Times The (Huntington WV) Herald -Dispatch The Macon Telegraph The (Sierra Vista) Herald The (Saint Louis) Post-Dispatch The Herald Mail (someplace in Pennsylvania) The Republican-Herald (the Philadelphia suburbs) The Rockford (IL) Register-Star The (New Hampshire) Times-Herald Again, mindless and pointless. ---

It’s called a Press Release. It’s how “we” know what "they"want us to know. ---

_Mining Journal_ (Marquette, Michigan) _Charleston (West Virginia) Gazette-Mail_ _Vallejo Times-Herald_ ==and that seems to be the end of that== But in [yesterday’s Investor’s Business Daily](http://www.investors.com/politics/commentary/union-america-where-democracy-goes-to-die/) he had another article along the same lines. He seems to be doing a bang-up job. ---
