The Future of Labor Relations

Felt a moment's despair over Majikthise's post on the Labor Department's collaborating with corporate lobbyists to shut down card check organizing of unions. During that moment, I saw a vision of the future, and it looked a lot like this:

From Blackadder the Third:

Edmund: (returns with Buxomly, who staggers) Your Highness: Sir Talbot Buxomly, MP.

Prince George: Ah, Buxomly! Roaringly splendid to have you here. How are you, sir?

Sir Talbot Buxomly: (Heartily?) Well, Your Highness. I dined hugely off of servants before I come into town.

Prince George: Um, you eat your servants?

Sir Talbot Buxomly: No, sir -- I eat *off* them. Why should I spend good money on tables when I have men standing idle?
