In Which I Offer Some Help for Joe Scarborough

I don't watch the morning news shows, so I missed this yesterday. But maybe I'll get this up in time for Joe Scarborough to make things right.

Anyway, yesterday, one of Joe's guests challenged him to name a successful company that had a union, and neither Joe nor his bimbo sidekick could think of one. So I thought I would give him some he could use. Like Major League Baseball. And the NFL. And the NBA. And while I'm not a fan of Southwest Airlines, it should be noted that Southwest is rather successful, one of the few successful airlines out there, and it's also the most heavily unionized of the U.S. airlines. As is UPS.

And to make it really easy for Joe, may I suggest he look around his own studio. Because, you see, he works for MSNBC which is owned by NBC-Universal which in turned is owned by GE. And GE employees workers from 13 different unions. I also believe that Joe himself probably belongs to a union as it's my understanding that broadcast talent on MSNBC are members of AFTRA.

So there you go, Joe. I hoped that help.
