If Only
Only hours after Mr. Obama spoke, President Nicolas Sarkozy of France said on Thursday that he would also begin drawing down the 4,000-strong French contingent in Afghanistan. (NYT, 6/23/2011)
Ahhh the French... If they are not raping hotel chambermaids, they are using any excuse to run from the fight.
Rancor Free!
The negotiations between Mr. Cuomo and the union, which represents about a third of the 186,000 state workers, were largely free of the public rancor that accompanied efforts to reduce spending on labor in New Jersey and Wisconsin. (NYT, 6/23/2011)
And why, RedStateVT wonders was there an absence of rancor? Likely it is pure politics. Unions know that they have to make concessions so they quietly roll over for Dem govs like Cuomo and Deval Patrick, while Walker in Wisconsin and Christie in New Jersey get the full faux outrage of the Left. We do wonder whether Cuomo has a secret "make whole" deal with the unions.
