In light of my rant below

This story made me AND Mr. Vidiot giggle. It's about Chicago telling big-box stores like Wal-mart that they have to start paying a living wage. And here's the money quote:
Wal-Mart's response to the Council's action was swift and blunt.

"It's sad -- this puts politics ahead of working men and women," John Simley, a Wal-Mart spokesman, said in a telephone interview. "It means that Chicago is closed to business."

Read that again and digest it. It's hiLARious. It's so deep and so convoluted and so rich with irony, while at the same time, riddled with stupidity.

I love it.
