haha this was kindof the worst strike ever. today basically gave everyone an excuse to skip work. it was nice.

They're always striking, what's new?

I wonder if any of those "OBAMA WON? WE'RE MOVING TO FRANCE" crazy Republican types actually did it.

I bet they're shitting bricks if they did move, what with the massive union protests.
