A series of passing thoughts.

Airbus wants to build a great factory in Mobile, Alabama simply because they know that Alabama offers cheap non-union, unregulated labor. Some come the end of the airtravel bubble that's beginning to rise, the Mobile mobile will be the first to close, Joy, oh joy. 1,000 jobs in 2016, and then what in 2022?

Will Airbus become the Republicans new best friend in their military, commercial and congressional alliance?

Obviously that's part of their goal here. They want cheap American non-union labor, you know, the guys who have the choice to work for less. And they want to endear themselves to the chickenhawks in Congress who buy their toys. What a effing joke we have become. Eisenhower warned us long ago about the threat. Too bad Karl Rove, John Boehner, Mitch McConnell and their teabagging ilk have sold their souls.

As Johnny Carson said years ago, "More to Come."
