First, they came for the wimmins: partial birth abortion bans are upheld.
Next, the uppity negros: Roberts actually writes “The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race” in a decision against even the barest hint of affirmative action. We all see where that one […]

Have you noticed all those terrible storms that we’ve started to encounter as a result of warmer oceans? And all those rising sea levels that threaten the existence of major cities around the globe? And just how generally fucked we all may be as a result of global warming?
Well, law firms have, too. […]

Ohhhh. Creepy.
Wal-Mart, renowned to outsiders for its elbows-out business tactics, is known internally for its bare-knuckled no-expense-spared investigations of employees who break its ironclad ethics rules.
Over the last five years, Wal-Mart has assembled a team of former officials from the C.I.A., F.B.I. and Justice Department…
The investigators — whose résumés evoke Langley, Va., more than […]

WalMart is handing out bonuses for “Associate Celebration Day.” Ok, cool.
But could someone explain why this sounded good in their collective corporate heads?
Store associates and assistant managers with 20 or more years of service will get an extra week of pay under the new Servant Leadership bonus plan.
Emphasis mine. Please tell me there […]

Best Buy: Where a cent stolen spends twice as nice as a Benjamin earned.

According to the earnings spreadsheet in the financial download section of their corporate site, during fiscal year 2006, electronics megosaur Best Buy generated $30 billion in revenue with a gross profit of $7.726 billion.
So could someone please explain to me why they […]

Well hello! Long time no see! I’m sure nothing whatsoever has happened in my absence. I have actually been writing here goddamn near every day but fucking Marc has scrubbed the archives in fear of… ellipses and incomplete sentences. I cuss too much, apparently, and somebody had to scrub my dirty, […]

Postmodern machismo

Much like habeas corpus, Miller Lite’s Man Laws have been suspended. Despite their perceived popularity amongst crotch-scratchers everywhere, the campaign did nothing for Miller’s sales figures. Thus ends the reign of Patriarch Burt Reynolds I.
While intended to be funny, the Miller spots unequivocally endorse a world where men should be “anti-fruit” and own […]

If you ever need to make one single convincing argument against intelligent design, just point to Chris Muir. This willfully ignorant shitbag spews aggravating, blatant falsehoods as obvious facts, and not just on any old topic. Muir chooses to further lies that threaten the fate of the planet, presumably because they happen to […]

WalMart reaches out and snags the “World’s Most Clueless Corporation” trophy right out of Northwest’s hands.
Faced with workers talking about unions and public demonstrations about how much they suck, WalMart phones it in with a “wide-ranging new program intended to show that it appreciates its 1.3 million workers in the United States and to encourage […]

GM’s taking steps (albeit baby ones since we know they’ve already developed and quashed a successful electric car) to be more competitive in the environmentally sound market:
General Motors Corp. will introduce new hybrid gasoline-electric autos next year to take sales from Toyota Motor Corp., the leader in the fuel-saving technology.
GM plans three hybrid-electric versions of […]

I see there’s a how-to project going on for the broke folks and figured I could add to the project since I’ve not only worked with the down and out but have experienced the same. And I’m drunk. Working at Big Media Co. has given me some insight into utility billing, although this […]

Pat My Back

Today an old man called because he ordered an adult movie and it didn’t come through (no pun intended). I credited him the movie and then sold him a subscription to Cinemax.

He laughed to his friend: (overheard) Motherfucker sold me Cinemax. That’s a mutherfuckin’ salesman.
