Greed, Always.
A couple of years ago the four principle
owners of Walmart shared $20 billion
in profits among themselves. Meanwhile,
each Supercenter costs its community
at least a million bucks yearly in federal
or community aid.
Working for companies like Walmart is
a crappy way to make a buck but that
doesn't mean it can't come with a little
dignity. The minimum wage in this country
should be at least $22 but raising it
to $15 would help a lot of families breathe
easier.

We
lost another great one yesterday. Satirist,
singer, actor, comedian, puppeteer, and
ad-man extraordinaire Stan Freberg
died
on Tuesday at the age of 88.
I will never
forget his prunes,
his pizza
rolls, his pretending,
or his green
Xmases. Thanks for all the great
times, Mr. Freberg.
