Comment:

Currently the two largest state workers unions (more than 22,000 employees) are on strike here in Minnesota. During the first three days of the strike our genius governor never went to the Capitol or any other government building where strikers walked picket lines. Despite belonging to two entertainment unions (a point he emphasized during his 1998 campaign and at various times in office), Ventura noted in a statement that the timing of the strike was unfortunate. He cited the Sept. 11 attacks and a slumping economy, and cast aspersions on the union members' patriotism.

So here's a mix of work songs, just for Jesse. And sorry 'bout the Huey Lewis.
