Another Ancient Union With Funny Name Endorses Obama

Barack “two-faced Roman god Janus” Obama, fresh off the heels of that Teamsters endorsement, has now picked up a union endorsement that actually matters: “The International Brotherhood of Boilermakers, Iron Ship Builders, Blacksmiths, Forgers and Helpers.” We await word on whether the International Pirates, Haberdashers, Flaneurs, Printer’s Devils, Farriers, Alchemists, Coopers, Canal Puddlers, Fishmongers, Cellarmen, Wicket Goblins and Part-time Popinjays Union will follow in suit.
