all the news that isn't

I don’t recall seeing giant inflated rats as a pro-union sign (or really, anti-anti-union) until I moved here. But they’ve always been in the City. (that means Manhattan) Until now, that is.

We’ve got some new construction – undoubtedly more over-priced and ugly condos – taking place just down the road. And the other day, the rat showed up. In true Jersey-style, they just drive the pickup to the location and inflate it, rather than really parking it on the sidewalk or elsewhere.

Anyway, check out this link for a short history of the inflated union rat.
