The Bribery Aisle: How Wal-Mart Got Its Way
The Times has now picked up where Wal-Mart’s internal investigation was cut off, traveling to dozens of towns and cities in Mexico, gathering tens of thousands of documents related to Wal-Mart de Mexico permits, and interviewing scores of government officials and Wal-Mart employees, including 15 hours of interviews with the former lawyer, Sergio Cicero Zapata.
The Times’s examination reveals that Wal-Mart de Mexico was not the reluctant victim of a corrupt culture that insisted on bribes as the cost of doing business. Nor did it pay bribes merely to speed up routine approvals. Rather, Wal-Mart de Mexico was an aggressive and creative corrupter, offering large payoffs to get what the law otherwise prohibited. It used bribes to subvert democratic governance — public votes, open debates, transparent procedures. It used bribes to circumvent regulatory safeguards that protect Mexican citizens from unsafe construction. It used bribes to outflank rivals.

Deep Thoughts
Mowed the lawn today, and after doing so I sat down and had a couple
nice cold beers. The day was really quite beautiful, and the brew
facilitated some deep thinking on various topics. Finally I thought
about an age old question: Is giving birth more painful than getting
kicked in the nuts?Women always maintain that giving birth is way more painful than a guy
getting kicked in the nuts. Well, after another beer, and some heavy
deductive thinking, I have come up with the answer to that question.Getting kicked in the nuts is more painful than having a baby, and
here is the reason for my conclusion. A year or so after giving birth,a woman will often say, "It might be nice to have another child." On the other hand, you never hear a guy say, "You know, I thinkI would like another kick in the nuts." So, I rest my case.

Vote for Alexis Wineman, Miss Montana, to become Miss America
I've heard her speak and she is funny and informative. But for fuck sakes, she has the worst cable access video EVER for a national pageant contender.
Vote here.
A Joke
During my physical, my doctor asked me about my daily activity level, and so I described a typical day this way:
"Well, yesterday afternoon, I waded along the edge of a lake, drank eight beers, escaped from wild dogs in the heavy brush, marched up and down several rocky hills, stood in a patch of poison ivy, crawled out of quicksand, jumped away from an aggressive rattlesnake and took four "leaks" behind big trees."
Inspired by the story, the doctor said, "You must be one hell of an outdoors man!"
"No," I replied, "I'm just a crappy golfer."
