Today's word suggested by Lone Palm, to "celebrate" Bastille Day: "a WFTD with French origins so that we may suitably mock the French? They are sulking over losing the WC and face another loss to an American in the TdF." (TdF = Tour de France) Great idea!

It seems that Target as joined forces with WalMart (will wonders never cease) in the fray to frap the Chicago City Council, which is scheduled to vote on a "living wage" ordinance aimed at the big box stores:
Target threatens to leave if wage rule OK'd
Ald. Leslie Hairston (5th) said she has a letter of intent from Target to build a new store at Marquette and Stony Island in her ward. But the developer has told her the store is "on hold" and that Target may close existing Chicago stores if the big-box ordinance goes through.
Hairston called it little more than a scare tactic. And even if the threat turns out to be real, she's standing firm in support of organized labor.
"Wal-Mart and Target could pay their people a living wage. Then we wouldn't have this problem, and people could actually live on the money they made," Hairston said.
Had I lived in those times, I would have been right there on the walls of the Bastille with the other sans culottes.
