We are all being trampled by Walmart.

They are opening more registers to accommodate. Low prices. Live better.

Looking back to that night, Michael Rodriguez still has trouble believing the situation he faced when he was stocking shelves on the overnight shift at the Sam's Club in Corpus Christi, Tex.

It was 3 a.m., Mr. Rodriguez recalled, some heavy machinery had just smashed into his ankle, and he had no idea how he would get to the hospital.

The Sam's Club, a Wal-Mart subsidiary, had locked its overnight workers in, as it always did, to keep robbers out and, as some managers say, to prevent employee theft. As usual, there was no manager with a key to let Mr. Rodriguez out. The fire exit, he said, was hardly an option -- management had drummed into the overnight workers that if they ever used that exit for anything but a fire, they would lose their jobs.

2. If nobody points you out as being so racist,

what with posting that politically incorrect picture and all...

If I can't get away with being politically incorrect, then I'll be the PC police and join the crowd.


(no, you're not a racist, but be careful of what and when you say. Not because of "Big Brother" but because of "Perceived Peer".)
