I don't know about you, but I sort of miss the days when Wal-Mart was harmless. You know, back when they were just a mammoth conglomerate putting small retailers out of business and forcing manufacturing jobs overseas, thus helping to cripple the U.S. economy. They were almost lovable then.
Now, though, they're downright scary. It's not just that every time you go into one you get this niggling feeling that you might just never come out, like a Roach Motel. It's more that Wal-Marts have become little planets unto themselves, where the citizens all laugh at our silly Earth customs, content in the knowledge that someday we'll all be subjugated and wearing little blue smocks just like them.
Just look at some of the stories to have come out of Wal-Marts in the last week alone:

Keep on bashing on what Joe Sixpack loves Boston Herald. You're doing The Lord's Work.
I would bet that if you knew all the wacky things Railroad (insert favorite target here) workers did you would never ride a train again.
Over at DU they have nearly daily rants on Wal-Mart. Pathetic.
The writer's world is obviously very, very, small.....
Oh, Willie! The US' largest employer outside of the government (civil service, et al) isn't the antiChrist.
Peter Chicana needs to up his meds.
our walmart is a ok with me. what happen to "monkey wards"??
Last year Massachusetts was the only state to lose population. Perhaps the Boston Herald has a conspiracy theory explaining this. Alternatively, it is just too expensive to live in and around Boston.
If Wal-Mart has such a voracious appetite that it is devouring all its competition, how is it that he has a Target store to go to?
It's just a store.
Really, this Walmart obsession is so ludicrous.
Those towns already have a K-Mart, I betcha.
In my little town the people in the community overwhelmingly didn't want a Super-Walmart (we've already got a Walmart store) but the council approved it along with the zoning changes to make it happen. We're still trying to figure out what happened. Maybe it was because all the illegal aliens wanted it.
The Wal-Mart bashers are usually pathetic but I must admit this article is pretty funny.
'...So if you need me, I'll be in Target.'
Figures that the lib author would rather shop in a French owned store.
Hmmm...That's why our Walmart manager has a Hitler mustache. It's all coming together now.
Maybe the unions are upset about walmart being a non-union entity. I know employment at Walmart has given hope to the hopeless. Maybe we should roll back the union thugs. NSNR
