Today I am busy building out the Republican Choices, three candidates down eight to go. So you get a linky thread instead of a more detailed post. Lot's off stuff going on today.

The Supreme Court ruling on political union dues got the right wing all excited here in California, but it is a very narrow ruling, limited to that unique Washington State Law. As the AFL-CIO noted, this "will have a very limited practical effect and will not affect any existing union practices."
Robert Greenwald's next movie will be called "Supermarket Swindle" and he is currently looking for current or former employees at Vons, Ralphs, Alberstons, Kroger, Safeway or Supervalu.

The SDUT has an amusing write-up complete with vegan bashing.

Happy Friday afternoon.
