• Dave Zirin, Micah Sifry, and the Military Budget

  March 3, 2011

  "It's not about dollars and cents, it's about owners telling players who is boss," says Dave Zirin, sports columnist for The Nation, about the impending NFL lockout. Even Barack Obama has gotten into the act, though, writing off the labor dispute in professional football as "millionaires fighting billionaires" and ignoring the real factors in the fight, from the health risks and short careers the players face to the people who will be out of work if football doesn't go on--while the owners sign a TV contract that pays them even if there is no season.

• The F Word: Fighting Over Crumbs Left from Military Spending

  March 3, 2011

  There's been a joke going around the labor protests. It goes something like this: A union member, a CEO and a Tea Party member are sitting at a table with 12 cookies. The CEO grabs 11, turns to the Tea Partier and says “The Union's out to take your cookie!”
