• Commented on Target Employees Fight Back Against Store's Plan To Open Thanksgiving Night
  "With the midnight opening, employees like myself will have to leave for work right in the middle of Thanksgiving dinner." These guys may be right in general, but exactly how long does this one guy plan to be eating his...
• Commented on McDonald's Serves Up TV To Go Along With Your Burger, Fries And Regret
  It's supposed to refer to a calorie that's not accompanied by any vitamins, minerals, or other useful nutritional content. I get the term, though I too find it slightly disingenuous. Also, in context of this article, the only completely "empty"...
• Commented on How I Saved $1,000 In Less Than Three Months
  Agh, I really do try to restrain my grammar fascism, but this lady is a blogger, and in the first paragraph she mixed up "then" and "than" AND "too" and "to"? No, can't read it....

• Commented on SoCal Grocery Workers Agree To Strike If Terms Not Met
  The awkward thing about this strike is that, if the union succeeds, they're basically forcing a small cost of living increase onto the entire state of California (in the form of higher food prices). So at a time when all...

  This is less than half as fun as microwaving Peeps, though....
• Commented on Bridal Store Refuses To Sell Wedding Gown To Lesbian
  Zegota's point is that under the Civil Rights Act, businesses DON'T have a right to refuse service for some reasons (race, gender, etc.) A lot of people now believe sexual orientation should be one of those reasons (though legally, it...

• Commented on Government Wants Organic Small-Batch Ice Cream Maker To Stop Making Organic Small-Batch Ice Cream
  So you want to write laws to screw over the big guys, and make explicit exceptions for their competitors based solely on their size, and claim it's about "safety" the whole time?...
• Commented on Government Wants Organic Small-Batch Ice Cream Maker To Stop Making Organic Small-Batch Ice Cream
  Your standard assumes that laws are applied on a case-by-case basis using a reasonable person's definition of common sense. They're not. If you write a food safety law that's expensive to comply with, that same exact law applies in the...
• Commented on Government Wants Organic Small-Batch Ice Cream Maker To Stop Making Organic Small-Batch Ice Cream
  Yes, big businesses often help write and support the very regulations that are supposed to constrain them, using the blunt force of law as a tool to knock out or suppress their comeptitors. It's called "regulatory capture."...
• Commented on Government Wants Organic Small-Batch Ice Cream Maker To Stop Making Organic Small-Batch Ice Cream
  This is why it's actually pretty funny when liberals get all pro-regulation like it's a call to arms that will really stick it to big business. A big regulatory state BENEFITS big business by raising the barriers to entry for...
• Commented on Get Your Christmas Creep Gift Cards At Sam's Club
  I'm all about bashing/stopping Christmas creep, but I don't count themed gift cards as a symptom. I routinely see gift cards from all various holidays at retailers. A gift card is a a gift card is a gift card --...

• Commented on Senators Blast Airlines For Profiteering During Tax Holiday
  Failing to fund the FAA is a problem. This whole tax kerfuffle is merely an unintended side effect....
• Commented on Senators Blast Airlines For Profiteering During Tax Holiday
  Why are politicians so bent out of shape about the airlines' response to the politicians' failure to do their job and pass a budget for the FAA? Congress forfeits all rights to complain about any consequences of a problem that...
• Commented on Senators Blast Airlines For Profiteering During Tax Holiday
  Actually, if the politicians were really serious, an even easier solution would've been to pass a budget for the FAA before it expired, so this never would have been an issue. You know, doing their damn jobs....

• Commented on McDonald's Thinks People Want Something Called A Zesty BBQ Cruncher Burger
  If done right, this would be a cheaper, more available version of Red Robin's Whiskey River BBQ Burger... which is one of my favorite burger. I'd be stoked about that. Of course, if they screw it up, it could be...
• Commented on Quick, Easy Ways To Maintain Your Vehicle
  The cabin air filter doesn't affect your vehicle's engine or performance at all, it just filters the air coming in through your vents. It's fine to change it especially if you have allergies, but mostly it's there so that the...
• Commented on Quick, Easy Ways To Maintain Your Vehicle
  Not trying to be the typo police, but "wee" instead of "see" is a hilarious one. If I were ever to "wee" red transmission fluid, I would freak out too. But I hope no one would be watching through a...
