An odd place to set up shop... this was the campaign site for Chirac when he was running for office over there in France. But he let the registration expire on March 31 and this group took over the domain legally.

Finally, giving teeth to laws... I saw a piece on TV last night about a Van Nuys woman who got fined $1,500, has to spend 200 hours doing graffiti removal and go to parenting classes... because her kid likes to spray paint on other people's houses, cars, fences, etc. It's been a law for some time, but rarely enforced. I think it's good... hold the parents accountable. And a new law in Washington State (link -- MSNBC.com) holds a retail employee accountable when they sell a violent videogame to minors. That is, instead of just a silly law no one pays much attention to and occasional stings that get stores in trouble, now if pimply Joe at the cash register lets a 16-year-old buy "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City" then Joe gets fined $500. That's a law with some real teeth and I applaud that state. Ironic for such a liberal state, but hey, good for them.

Oh, and this is pretty bogus and it's not even United Airlines... So American Airlines forced the unions to vote in 15-days on whether or not to accept pay cuts. (Union rules give them 30 days, but the airline insisted the voting be done quicker.) The day after the union voting deadline, American releases its required filings with the stock market and SEC and it turns out that the 45(!!!) top management staffers' pensions would be protected, even if the airline goes bankrupt. link -- MSNBC.com Yes, that's right. Their pensions get moved to a private trust so that it's not part of the assets of the airline. While at the same time, regular people like you and me are agreeing to salary cuts knowing that might not be enough to save their jobs. How lame! American Airlines sucks now, too, apparently. Plus, they can't even find the runway.
