Supporters plan to commemorate Inauguration Day on Jan. 20 with a synchronized flush of hundreds of thousands of San Francisco toilets, an action that would send a flood of water toward the plant, as Bush leaves the throne of power.

I like this one the best:

Cut hours. When given a choice, many employees would rather work less (and hence earn less) than see themselves or their colleagues let go. (Some state programs like this one in California help employers make the transition to shorter work weeks less financially burdensome on employees.)

Not sure why managers never think of this.

Here’s one view of America circa 2008: The US is a modern-day Roman Empire — overstretched, underperforming, slowly crumbling into history’s dustbin. Here’s Parag Khanna’s view: Nonsense. The geopolitical wooziness Americans are feeling isn’t decline. It’s realignment.

I was looking for a payment gateway about six months ago and came across these clowns. They’ve filled an entire website with nothing. It’s like a bad Seinfeld episode. Do people  actually go for that mumbo jumbo crap?

After months of hesitation, Industry Minister Jim Prentice has finally revealed his re-write of Canada’s rules of copyright. As expected, the bill contains major concessions to the American entertainment industry. Prentice’s bill forbids Canadians from engaging in ordinary practices such as ripping DVDs onto video iPods, unlocking digital phones for use with a competitor’s services, and paves the road for US-style consumer lawsuits for file-sharing. Tell your MP to represent you in the forthcoming copyright debate, and stop Prentice from steamrolling a bill that’s worse than America’s DMCA through Parliament without listening to Canadian voices.
