Good luck to the NY Public Transport workers on strike!
You might have heard that this is happening, but you're buggered if you can actually find anything in the mainstrream media about *why* they're actually on strike.
So, on the principle of supporting striking workers, I wish good luck to them and a happy christmas without crazy drunk people and working bad shifts when everyone else is off work; and I shall try find out what the actual strike's about! This picture on the left gives at least a hint.
And, I see the Dutch have finally agreed to join the British assault on Afghanistan scheduled for next Spring. Sorry - hadn't you heard about that? It's been planned for almost a year now.
Basically, the Yanks are pulling out, not being into this whole nation-building deal, and NATO, led by the Brits, is going to try expand its control to the entire country, starting, if I remember correctly, with Kandahar province.
Should be fun and games and blood and guts. Makes you wanna party like it's 1842. So carry on up the Khyber chaps.
