Minimum Wage Hike Blocked

August 8, 2006 | ISSUE 42•31

  • I don't think I'm alone when I say that all the multi-millionaire janitors out there are going to throw a shitfit.

  • What's with these Democrats? Last week they blocked a bill that would've provided universal healthcare provided you had your forehead tattooed with a bar code.

  • As a life-long conservative, this bill has made me understand that sacrifices must be made if we are to preserve the obscene mechanisms of patronage and entitlement that made this country great.
