Look What Your Editor Found!
*****Red Alert****Literally in this case ! As Your Editor was walking out of the Hopeless Union Building, where she spends some of her time at the Yakima Gulag People's Institute of Higher Re:Education,she spotted a fairly large stack of newspapers,so always wanting to see what readage is available to the zeks, she went over and picked up a copy:
Now we at Yakima Gulag Literary Gazett realize that it isn't the old days anymore, and
all that, but it occured to us zeks at Yakima Gulag Literary Gazett that 1. It was a fairly large pile of papers! 2. Neither Editor nor her staff have seen a copy of this particular publication in something like 20 years. 3. At that time no one would have considered smuggling any onto the campus of the Yakima Gulag People's Institute of Higher Re:Education!
On perusal of 'People's Weekly World' Your Friendly Editor learned something interesting previously unknown to her: General Motors has a factory in Russia and the workers there are trying to unionize, they are running into opposition in this endevour from the governmentn of Russia, and of course G.M.
While Your Friendly Editor is not yet considered by anyone to be a 'Lady of a Certain Age' she is of an age sufficient to remember the cold war. While she is not the fainting type she called for some slivovica to help her recover from the shock of discovering there is a G.M. plant in Russia, "It's really too wierd to contemplate!" she said.
The Editor also notes that the paper has a Spanish language section as well as an English language section.
We wonder if this publication is going to be around more regularly or if this is a fluke.
