• Beer-swilling bride sparks controversy in New Zealand

  Wed May 16, 2012
  • Those who criticized her need to get over themselves. Formal occasion or not, if she wants to drink a beer, why criticize? Oh, forgive me, she actually drank from the bottle. Nobody would have said "boo" if she'd poured it into a glass first. Give me a break.

• US veterans to return war medals in protest

• Supermodel Christy Turlington Burns defends her campaign to boycott Mother's Day

• Wal-Mart worker wants CEO fired

  Tue May 1, 2012
  • Maybe this is callous, but since I don't work there, I don't know what's going on "inside," and I really don't care. I only have one gripe about Wal-Mart, and it's that almost before Sam Walton was cold in his grave, they ended the "buy American" policy.
