Another digression into Americana:

Craig Becker is one of Obama’s appointments to the National Labor Relations Board. The Republi-spins are, of course, going nuts. They claim he lacks bipartisan support and has been rejected by the Senate.

In fact, I have heard so little about Craig Becker other than how “controversial” his appointment is, I assume he’s actually perfect for the job.

My brain is beginning to save time by just assuming that, void of hard facts, Republicans lie.

Wikipedia quenched me. He is, of course, super-qualified and the “lack of bipartisan support” is just Republi-spin for “we’ve managed to delay his confirmation”.

50+1 votes, what they (apparently) call “up and down” now in America, are total communist fascism in Republi-spin eyes — unless that’s what they need to mess with Labor.
