If you think coverage of Hillary Clinton is bad now, just wait till she actually announces her candidacy for President.

Oh, and you’d better get your Hillary Clinton-related domain while you still can.

“Looks to me like the fast food workers would benefit if their bosses could form a union, and the bosses would benefit if the whole industry (including themselves) were unionized.”

    For all the complaints about how WalMart has “destroyed” small town America, I would offer the comments of my friends who live in some of those small towns that with WalMart, there would be no way to shop on the weekends after 3 on Saturday, which is when the “mom and Pop” shops closed or at all on Sunday. Monday through Friday weren’t much better, with closing no later than 6. Plus, those locally owned stores seldom hired many people.
