Seriously

>>> Keith Olbermann just named Republican Senators John McCain, Lindsey Graham, and Sam Brownback as the "Worst Persons in the World" because they are holding up the appointment of Christopher Hill as the ambassador to Iraq. (Read more about these obstructionists at Think Progress.)

>> Mrs. Obama has plans to plant a vegetable garden at the White House. Check out the story at Mother Jones.

>>>The Obama administration is supporting the women suing Wal-Mart, according to Bloomberg.com:

The Obama administration sided with women suing Wal-Mart Stores Inc. for discrimination, urging a federal appeals court to let the current and former workers sue as a group and proceed with the biggest sex-bias case in U.S. history.....
....Wal-Mart, the largest U.S. private employer, is accused of paying women less than men and giving them fewer promotions. The 2001 lawsuit was originally filed in San Francisco by six women seeking to represent other employees....

How many times have current and former Wal-Mart employees sued the company for unfair labor practices? This is why I don't shop at Wal-Mart.
