Strike Up the Band

NYC Metropolitan Transit is threatening to strike. It happens every time their contract expires. Will they do it? The odds are no because:
1. It's illegal.
2. Each employee'd be fined $25000 a day.
3. The last time they did was 1980.
I don't know of anyone who's really sweating it.

Two NYC police officers have been killed this year. Of the latest, in a sad tale of life imitating , one of the "alleged" assailants is Lillo Brancato, the actor who played the teen in the film, "A Bronx Tale." It was a burglary gone really bad. What's worse is the punishment for killing a cop in NYC is the death penalty.
All I can say is, what a waste.
