The irony of today's news about the child labor ring in communist China, juxtaposted against these 115 year-old socialist posters, should not go unobserved. Too bad Calvin Trillin couldn't have stayed in Irvine long enough to comment today.

Thanks for the reminder that workers of the world still have work to be done--even among the ranks of our brothers and sisters at the south campus of this district.

from the LA Times:

"Dockworkers take May Day off, idling West Coast Ports" - dockworkers say action is to protest the war in Iraq - 29 ports from Seattle to San Diego are affected.

Imperialist wars. Global food crisis. Environmental racism. Scapegoating immigrants. Pending economic collapse. It's time to party like it's 1895.

Happy Commie Day, Reb and Red Emma.

The party will start when Mexico's illegals go back to TJ where they belong.

I sent the longshoremans union an email criticizing their sedition. It did not go unnoticed by Torabora.

Happy May Day.

Sheesh - haven't we told you guys before that Red Emma is no red, he's an anarchist. And Rebel Girl, well, she is generally too pissed off to be affiliated with any party, let along the CP.

Re: Sedition -- At this point in the bluebook pile I'm grateful for any correctly spelled word.

The Alien and Sedition Acts were John Adams' version of the Patriot Act, passed to fight sympathizers of French terrorists.

Ah, French terrorists . . . . Those were the days.

"Red Emma is no red"? WTF? He, after all, labels himself "Red." If he is no red, how come he identifies with the symbols of Bolshevism?

Come now!

Read your history!

Red Emma = Emma Goldman, an anarchist, not a commie. There's a difference you know.
