...Sacha Baron Cohen should be doing instead of wasting his talent on stuff like Borat. No field was ever riper for the harvest than this. This is where the real laughs are.

Anti-sweatshop activist Jeff Ballinger's estimate of Nike's annual corporate responsibility budget is $15 million a year. Steve Duin's Sunday column overstated the amount [as $150 million; the Spin has been changed accordingly].
Via the broadcast PR firm [[MultiVu]], WWF management appeared along with Coke executives in [[fake news]] videos announcing their "transformational" partnership:
An election was held in April for Springfield Missouri. But a local resident who filed with the County Clerk was not allowed to run as a write in candidate as allowed by law. So Steven Reed has filed a legal case in Greene County Court Case No. 107CC1310 and the case and current motions can be found at http://www.reedforcouncil.com. Reed has also asked in the case that the State Attorney General Jay Nixon to join or take over the case since Missouri law allows write in candidates. Every city in Missouri allows write in candidates as allowed by the State Constitution.
“We promote and fight wars over the right of the people to vote and help lead the direction of our communities, states, and the nation” according to Reed. Reed says “let us be truthful, because the truth sets us free”.
A recent letter wrote by Reed to a local paper talks of efforts to bring better jobs to the area.
Recently it was announced that several hundred jobs were being lost in Springfield. Now the Roy Blunt Innovation center is the main attention that will create they say around 200 jobs. We still have anemic low wage jobs in Springfield. I began work in the late 1990s to get support for a technology park and the second industrial park could be changed in name and purpose to that cause.
Millions have already been spent on the industrial park infrastructure and in economics they call that sunk cost. These monies can be retrieved by moving forward with a technology park for more information people can go to www.technologypark2006.org. Efforts to place the issue on the ballot were ignored by the Springfield City Council, but at least they took along with Roy Blunt part of the idea. Why not do something to help those who need better jobs. Prosecutor Darrel Moore says we have the highest level of domestic violence in the state.
For years now I haven't been able to hear "America the Beautiful" without thinking, "...For purple-finger photo ops, amid the ravaged plains -- " And it's not funny, it's tragic.
