No transit strike this morning, at any rate. They haven't settled their contract either, so it's all up in the air. It's starting to feel like a movie that is going on way past the point where it should have ended one way or another. Don't these union workers know anything about dramatic arc?

I'm just kidding, of course. I hope they get all the health insurance and human dignity they can handle. And I hope they get a big fat raise. It makes me a little sick to hear Pataki and Mayor Millionaire Bloomberg talking about how these are hard times for all of us, blah blah blah, when they are clearly not going to have to worry about finding affordable health insurance for their kids.
