POPSObama's Interview With Military Times July 02, 2008 Somebody please ask junior Senator Barack Obama what he means when he says that contract worker support of our war effort should be just used for kitchen work and automobile repair.

POPSDow Jones Labor Talks Go Nowhere The Independent Association of Publishers Employees, which represents about 2,000 employees at Dow Jones, says it's seeking "a real pay increase" that accounts for the effects of inflation and higher health care premiums.
