new uaw deal with gm is a pretty good thing

the labor agreement between general motors and the uaw looks pretty good at first blush and should help with negotiations with chrysler and ford in the future.  getting the second-tier pay up a little is a good thing since that two-tier wage system sucks bigtime.  the health care stuff looks good, too, and both sides made a good deal.  every labor victory is a do-or-die situation in this economy in 2011, so it's one and done if the good guys lose.  the best thing about the labor deal, though, is that the conservatives hate it and it's giving them that same pain in the balls they get when they watch vh-1.  whether it's stuart varney practically tearing up on fox news or conservatard blogs squirming around cause they just don't get math, the paroxysms of the right do almost as much good as a righteous labor victory.
