Alarming News: I like Morgan Freeberg. A lot.
American Digest: And I like this from "The Blog That Nobody Reads", because it is -- mostly -- about me. What can I say? I'm on an ego trip today. It won't last.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: We were following a trackback and thinking "hmmm... this is a bloody excellent post!", and then we realized that it was just part III of, well, three...Damn. I wish I'd written those.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: ...I just remembered that I found a new blog a short while ago, House of Eratosthenes, that I really like. I like his common sense approach and his curiosity when it comes to why people believe what they believe rather than just what they believe.
Brutally Honest: Morgan Freeberg is brilliant.
Dr. Melissa Clouthier: Morgan Freeberg at House of Eratosthenes (pftthats a mouthful) honors big boned women in skimpy clothing. The picture there is priceless--keep scrolling down.
Exile in Portales: Via Gerard: Morgan Freeberg, a guy with a lot to say. And he speaks The Truth...and it's fascinating stuff. Worth a read, or three. Or six.
Just Muttering: Two nice pieces at House of Eratosthenes, one about a perhaps unintended effect of the Enron mess, and one on the Gore-y environ-movie.
Mein Blogovault: Make "the Blog that No One Reads" one of your daily reads.
The Virginian: I know this post will offend some people, but the author makes some good points.
Poetic Justice: Cletus! Ah gots a laiv one fer yew...
New Wal-Mart In Town
I don’t know what the Economic Policy Institute is, but guess what, they’re going to open a brand new Wal-Mart. I guess they are. I mean, that’s the only sensible thing to do, after what they found out…this is still America, last I checked, and when you find out some jackass isn’t running his business the best way, you show him what a jackass he is by opening up your own shop. So I expect to see an Economic Policy Institute Mart opening up in my ‘burb, any day now right?
Wal-Mart could hike pay and keep prices low: study
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. could significantly increase employee wages and benefits without raising prices, and still earn a healthy — albeit smaller — profit, research released on Thursday concluded.
The Economic Policy Institute study comes as the world’s biggest retailer faces a barrage of criticism from labor unions, politicians and community activists, who say it pays poverty-level wages and drives competitors out of business.
It’s the classic little-kids’ rhyme, Economic Policy Institute people. Put up or shut up, money talks and bullshit walks.
