What do the political parties offer to overcome this vortex which threatens to destroy the quality of life of the working class population? What specific proposals arise to achieve a relationship between the factors of production which would result in a living wage, rational productivity, and an authentically new labor culture? How prepared are they really to promote freedom of association? These are questions which they have an obligation to respond to, not only with vague statements, but rather with specific commitments, that is if they hope to win a vote of confidence in the face of a generalized disillusionment. The obstacles to free organizations have been clearly identified: some derive from the very authorities which see their obligation as protecting the existing forms of control; others come from an employer culture which always distrusts and fears the free participation of the workers, particularly if they have the right to intervene in and make decisions about the life of their unions and, within those labor organizations, the impunity to carry out all sorts of undesirable practices which begin with collective bargaining without the participation of the workers, consolidates itself in the robbery of union dues and the union's wealth, and strengths itself with illegitimate representation in the political system and the tripartite organizations of labor jurisprudence and social security.

The Victory Fund’s 71 endorsements set a new record for an odd-numbered year in which there are no scheduled federal elections. In 2006, the group endorsed 88 candidates and it expects to endorse more than 100 candidates in 2008, according to Wolfe. He added that planning has already begun for next year’s races.

Howard Stern, the King of All Media, says he doesn't listen to radio much any more because it's too depressing. In a wide-ranging interview in the industry journal Radio Ink, (the entire interview is available here), Stern, the quintessential shock jock whose morning show on K-Rock (WXRK/92.3 FM) dominates New York's airwaves... said he thinks he will still be on the air next year, if he can work out details of a new contract with Infinity Broadcasting, which syndicates his show.
