WAL-MART HATES WOMEN, IF THE PLAINTIFFS OF A NEW CLASS-ACTION SUIT HAVE IT RIGHT...ACCORDING TO REUTERS The largest sexual discrimination lawsuit in U.S. history moved forward against Wal-Mart Stores Inc. on Tuesday when a federal appeals court approved class-action status for women who claim the retailer was biased in pay and promotion.
THE Plaintiffs in the case estimate that as many as 1.6 million women who have worked for Wal-Mart in its U.S. stores since 1998 could join the lawsuit. The number makes the group the largest ever to sue for gender discrimination.

WASHINGTON STATE'S SUPREME COURT RULED RECENTLY THAT THE STATE COULD BAN GAYS AND LESBIANS FROM MARRYING BECAUSE THAT LEGAL ARRANGEMENT IS RESERVED FOR RELATIONSHIPS THAT RESULT IN PROCRATION. K-N-D-O IN YAKIMA REPORTS THAT A GAY RIGHTS GROUP IS NOW LOBBYING FOR A LAW THAT would allow only couples capable of having kids to marry, and that they file "proof of procreation" within three years of the marriage. If not, the marriage would be annulled. POOR MOJO'S NEWSWIRE EDITOR MOJO SAYS: This is utterly brilliant. The PROPOSED law is completely unreasonable and serves to exactly show how unreasonable bans on gay marriage are. It's satire by way of public policy. It's the new artform of the 21st century.

YOU MIGHT HAVE TO PAY ROYALTIES TO SHAKE YOUR GROOVE THING IF THE OWNER OF THE COPYRIGHT TO THE ELECTRIC SLIDE HAS HIS WAY... C-NET NEWS REPORTS THAT The inventor of the "Electric Slide," an iconic dance created in 1976, is fighting back against what he believes are copyright violations and, more importantly, examples of bad dancing.
THE EFFORTS CAME TO LIGHT WHEN A LINDEN LABS ENGINEER RECEIVFED A DIGITAL MILLENIUM COPYRIGHT ACT TAKEDOWN NOTICE FOR A VIDEO HE HAD SHOT AT A WEDDING. REPORTEDLY, THE COPYRIGHT OWNER IS GOING AFTER EVERY VIDEO ON YOU TUBE REFERENCING THE DANCE, AND also sent licensing demands to The Ellen DeGeneres Show. MOJO SAYS: Oh my stars and garters, I've done the Electric Slide at least five times in high school and several times since then (mostly ironically). Will I be sued? This is *just* like downloading music or watching bootleg movies. I'm infringing on someone's copyrightOUT with providing them recompense.

IF YOU HAD A HARD TIME REACHING THE INTERNETS LAST NIGHT, IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN BECAUSE HACKERS WERE ATTACKING THREE OF THE THIRTEEN DOMAIN NAME SERVERS, THE MACHINES WHICH BASICALLY MAKE THE WORLD WIDE WEB WORK. WIRE SERVICES REPORTED THAT IT WAS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT ATTACK OF ITS KIND SINCE 2002. OFFICIALS SAID THE AVERAGE WEB USER WOULDN'T NOTICE AN CHANGE IN THE 'NET, AND THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY SAID THERE WAS NO CREDIBLE THREAT TO COMPUTER SECURITY. THE ATTACK LASTED TWELVE HOURS.

YOU KNEW IN YOUR HEART THAT THAT STUFF YOU SEE ON ANIMAL PLANET ABOUT SHARKS NOT REALLY WANTING TO EAT HUMANS WAS STONE BULLSHIT, AND HERE'S THE PROOF. ACCORDING TO THE MIAMI HERALD, The crew of a shrimping boat had to be rescued after a shark took out the ship's propeller and caused the boat to take on water. FOR FOUR DAYS A GROUP OF SHARKS HAD BEEN SLAMMING INTO THE BOAT, THE CAPTIAN SAID, But then a 14-foot bull shark broke the boat's tail shaft, LEAVING THREE FISHERMEN adrift about 100 miles off the coast. THE CAPTAIN RADIOED FOR HELP AND TRIED TO SAVE THE BOAT HE'D OWNED FOR TWELVE YEARS, BUT HIGH SEAS EVENTUALLY SANK IT.

THE SUN TABOILD IN BRITAIN HAS EXCLUSIVE COVERAGE OF A FOUR-YEAR COVERUP BY BRITISH AND AMERICAN OFFICIALS. THE MILITARIES OF BOTH COUNTRIES HAVE BEEN SYSTEMATICALLY LYING TO SUSAN HULL ABOUT THE DEATH OF HER HUSBAND, MATTY, IN IRAQ, IN A FRIENDLY FIRE ATTACK. UNSATISFIED WITH THE OFFICIAL STORY, SHE HAD BEEN ASKING TO SEE THE COCKPIT TAPES OF THE ATTACK BY TWO U-S A10 Thunderbolt.FIGHERS ON MATTY'S CONVOY. SHE WAS REPEATEDLY TOLD, FOR FOUR YEARS, THEY DID NOT EXIST. SHE EVEN MET WITH PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH AT WESTMINSTER ABBEY in March 2003, WHO ACCEPTED A LETTER FROM HER AND PROMISED TO DO ALL HE COULD. EVEN WHEN SHE WAS ACCIDENTLY SHOWN A COPY OF THE TAPE'S TRANSCRIPT BY MINISTRY OF DEFENSE OFFICIALS, SUSAN HULL WAS DENIED ACCESS TO THE TAPE. THE TAPE WAS LEAKED TO THE SUN DURING AN INQUEST LOOKING INTO THE BRITISH SOLDIER'S DEATH.

THE QUOTE OF THE DAY IS FROM DEMOCRATIC REPRESENTATIVE HENRY WAXMAN of CALIFORNIA, WHO ASKED AT A HEARING MONDAY LOOKING INTO ALLEGED WASTE AND FRAUD IN POST-INVASION IRAQ: "Who in their right mind would send 363 tons of cash into a war zone?" VICEROY L. PAUL BREMER HAS YET TO COME UP WITH A GOOD EXCUSE FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCOUNT FOR NINE BILLION DOLLARS WHICH WAS AIRLIFTED IN CARGO PLANES -- IN CASH -- PALLET AFTER PALLET OF SHRINK-WRAPPED BUNDLES OF ONE-HUNDRED DOLLAR BILLS -- FROM May 2003 to June 2004, ACCORDING TO A STORY IN THE WASHINGTON POST. THE MONEY WAS TO HAVE PAID SALARIES AND FUNDED OPERATIONS FOR IRAQI AGENCIES, BUT THERE IS NO ACCOUNTING AS TO WHAT EVENTUALLY BECAME OF THE CASH, WHO GOT IT AND WHAT IT MIGHT HAVE BOUGHT. If $9 billion were NINE BILLION minutes, they would equal more than 17,000 years.
