I'm not sure if any of you have caught this program called "Bluegrass Underground" which airs on PBS, but if not I suggest you look it up. It is filmed in a cave 333 feet underground in the Cumberland Caverns in Tennessee. I hope sometime to see a cover of "Cumberland Blues".

Wonder Buns
Please, I ask that instead of skipping over the text and scrolling down to see a picture of my wonder buns you take the time to read this post. It may present ideas in a new light. Also its not like my buns will just be hanging out exposed to the elements. They will be properly protected.
Yesterday I went grocery shopping and instead of buying my usual twelve pack of Wonder buns for $2.98 I had to buy an eight pack for $3.58. This added expense, minor though it may seem, I credit to the unions, and in this case specifically the teamsters for putting Hostess/Wonder out of business. Up until about forty years ago the unions were a good idea. They began with making safe and reasonable conditions for workers as well as competitive wages and benefits. It sure was a good idea until greed got in the way. Suddenly it was hard to tell the union leaders from the company executives that they complained about. They brought to fruition the cliche "what you hate you become". They were raking in millions and companies began to struggle. In the '70's we saw the exodus of businesses from America. It greatly accelerated through the '80's and '90's. Even Levi's closed their US factories. The once good idea that created better working conditions has spent the last several decades eliminating them. We still have companies leaving and/or closing due to union demands. Oddly most of the people that support the unions also support "immigration reform" ie amnesty for illegals having broken our laws. Fewer jobs but lets welcome more people? The teachers unions even object to their members having to meet performance standards! Thats your children they are supposed to be caring for.
I don't really have a point to all of this. Just expressing thoughts and opinions. In closing I must say that I am highly disappointed in the voters of WI for contributing to the victory of the arrogant one. You had done so well on the Governors recall election. What happened?
