Canned over a tuna fish sandwich: Employers use any excuse (and the recession) to lay off workers {WalletPop}
Mar 19th 2009 3:06AM Whole Foods also buys its sushi fish from Reverend Sun Myung Moon of the Unification Church. This so-clled "progressive" "earthy crunchy" food chain has become too corporatist for its own good. At a time when AIG, Wall Street, and bankers are robbing us blind and getting away with it to the tune of trillions, we live in a Dickensian America where people like the man in this story are punished because they seek to eat.
This story changes my opinion of Whole Foods for the worse, to be sure.
Times Square to get a makeover for less traffic, more fun {WalletPop}
Mar 1st 2009 2:44PM Pedestrian malls long ago proved to be failures for the downtowns that tried them out.Not only are they disruptive to traffic patterns, but they also confuse pedestrians and draw away footsteps from businesses that are by nature geared toward customers strolling by on sidewalks. i wonder where Bloomberg is getting this bad advice from and it does not show much understanding on his part of city planning. Times Square without its famously frenetic variety of traffic will quickly become yet another vapid space in a New York which has become full of these. Yet another misguided attempt to make New York safe for Midwestern tourists, I'm afraid, who would do better to simply stay at home if New York scares them.
One of the more famous, textbook, failed attempts at pedestrian malls is that of Ithaca, NY.
A rare, semi-success can be seen at Burlington, Vermont's, Church Street Marektplace.

Kenny Chesney Addresses Gay Rumors {The Boot}
Feb 11th 2009 10:21PM Kenny, thou doth protest too much.
This sounds like it could've come...uhhh...straight out of one of the 1950s tabloids where Rock Hudson, Liberace, Tyrone Power--take your pick from dozens more--averred their supposed heterosexuality by claiming huge numbers of women bedded.
Kenny, show us that you're a REAL man and just tell the truth. Your fans will love you for your fine music in spite of it.
Joe the Plumber, Inc. {Politics Daily}
Nov 14th 2008 1:53PM As soon as he makes a few bucks shilling his crapola, his white trash relatives will be all over him for whatever they can get out of it and in a few years we'll be reading one of those "remember Joe The Plumber-now-he's-broke-and-living-out-of-a-box-because his daughter and his eighth wife spent him out of existence" articles.

Hillary Delegate Stripped for McCain Support {Politics Daily}
Jul 27th 2008 3:09PM This isn't so much about Hillary supporters--most of whom recognize and support the validity of the primary process. Rather, its about a right-wing attempt to plant moles and an attempt to try and create the impression that the Democratic Party is falling apart at some level from within.
Don't buy it. Its more snake oil from the people who have brought you this failed economy, the most corrupt government in American history, torture, the war in Iraq--and no WMDs or Bin Laden.
