In Defense Of Karl Rove

Those are five words I swore I never would write. Now I have to eat crow and defend him against this:

Karl Rove follows me on Twitter. That’s creepy. I joined Twitter a few months ago; so far, it has been a liberating way to transition from political to personal blogging. It’s allowed me to share the less-serious aspects and humorously uncensored moments of my life. But there’s also been a downside: I am now being followed by Karl Rove, and my local sheriff, and God knows how many other political pundits. We need to take Twitter back from the creepy people.

That is the latest rantings of Meghan McCain. I’m sorry, but if you don’t like people following you on a public site that is composed of people airing their personal shit, then don’t use such a service.

On the other hand this could be the first report of Karl Rove following a female around.

The Company That Constantly Violates Employment Laws Gets Political

That company, Wal-Mart, is telling managers that if a Democrat wins the White House it will hurt the employees.

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is mobilizing its store managers and department supervisors around the country to warn that if Democrats win power in November, they'll likely change federal law to make it easier for workers to unionize companies -- including Wal-Mart.

In recent weeks, thousands of Wal-Mart store managers and department heads have been summoned to mandatory meetings at which the retailer stresses the downside for workers if stores were to be unionized.

Now that is rather amazing coming from the monster corporation who has lost countless law suits for violating employment laws. I guess to Wal-Mart, employees being forced to work off the clock or not have breaks should be considered a benefit.
