Creeping Sharia law ruins Sam’s lunch!  And, in our interview Robert Forrant talks about how in protest of Big Industry, striking workers in Lawrence march against labor reforms including reduction in hours, lower wages and poor working conditions.  Sound familiar? Exhibit marks centennial anniversary of the action that became a nationwide story.  Check out Bread & Roses Centennial.   Plus, Governor of Pennsylvania decides to impose asset testing for food stamps!  In the better half, Gingrich’s Romney bashing movie and Mitt’s revealing response (shhhhhh!!!).  Check out the video.  Your calls and IMs.
