Apropos Quote: The most formidable weapon against errors of every kind is reason. - Thomas Paine

The Huffington Post: Bruce Shore, a 51-year-old unemployed man from Philadelphia, pleaded not guilty to felony email harassment on Friday in a Kentucky federal court, where he was arraigned for sending angry emails to Sen. Jim Bunning.

Shore emailed Bunning's office on Feb. 26 after seeing the Kentucky Republican complain on C-SPAN that a debate over extending unemployment benefits had caused him to miss a college basketball game. The debate went late because Bunning himself prevented it from moving to a vote. The congressional delay ultimately caused several jobless aid programs, including extended unemployment benefits and subsidies for COBRA health insurance, to lapse briefly.

Shore said he thought that after the FBI agents realized he had no violent intentions the case would go away.  Read entire article

Here's the email: 

Hello,


I am at a LOSS of words for SENATOR BUNTING blocking unemployment benefits for me and my children. If I do NOT get my check next week I WILL HAVE NO FOOD AND WILL BE ON THE STREET.

What kind of people are you? 10 Billion goes to the war every couple days and to Wall street weekly. I want my benefits or there will be people starving and dying.

What is wrong with you people. NOW is NOT the time to play politics with childrens lives.

ARE you'all insane. NO checks equal no food for me. DO YOU GET IT??

IF THIS POLITICAL GRANDSTANDING DOES NOT END TODAY - WE WILL COME TO YOUR OFFICES AND MAKE OUR POINT. YOU ARE PLAYING A LIFE AND DEATH GAME HERE.

DO YOU GET IT.

We at NoJobSurvivor say to Bunning -- what do you expect? Your shear stupidity and lack of compassion are toying with our sanity!

Minimum Wage

Workers in BMW's auto plants in Germany make twice as much as US workers in BMW plants who make $15 an hour. Oh and by the way German workers get 35 days of vacation AND decent healthcare.

And why does Germany's Manufacturers do so well?
