No more lawsuits, it's all fair pay

Did you know that our government is looking out for us? Truly!
As of Monday, August 23, those of us who make $23,660 a year ($455 a week) or less are now safe! No mean ol' corporation can make us work overtime yet refuse to pay us. Take that, Wal-Mart! Ha-hah, non-union businesses!
Although, if you are administrative anything, you won't need protecting because the new rules say so. Are you an executive? A professional? An "outside" sales employee? Maybe even … gasp, a "computer employee"? Well, all 107,000 of you who have now lost your overtime pay protection, can obviously take care of yourself! |
Brittain, stop cloning around!
The British may be devastatingly handsome (as the likes of Austin Powers), however, the move to legalize human cloning should strike one as a bit questionable, considering the ethics (and aesthetics) at stake.
It appears that good old English common sense took a nose-dive on Wednesday, August 11th, as “Dr. Evil” and his entourage got the go-ahead to use human cloning for “medical research,” simultaneously granting a license to a research team at Newcastle University. The said team is reportedly stoked to become the first in Europe to perform therapeutic cloning using human embryos.

Reducing cultural friction costs money

Just when I thought the school board couldn’t possibly waste any more money on useless programs they prove me wrong again.
For years, large amounts of money budgeted to schools in Arizona has been used to make minor repairs on buildings. Now some of that money will be used on something other than plaster and cement.
The Youth Town Hall was awarded funding for “programs to reduce violence, racism and intolerance” through the Youth Diversity Grant which will provide $60,000 for seven Valley schools this year.

The Presidency
Choosing future from the past
Congratulations! You’ve made it through that aggravating, plastic utopia otherwise known as high school. Your GPA shines like a beacon of fortitude among the cosmos. Your pom-poms and jock-straps adorn your pedestal of hormonal triumph. You are the cream of the angst-ridden crop. Alas, your perch in the sun becomes overshadowed by the impending doom of the real world. Welcome to college!
