Headlines for 7/26

Shopkeepers of Rhinebeck are excited Chelsea Clinton has chosen their town for her wedding, but everyone donating to the event has been asked to take a confidentiality agreement. Bill’s asking this to be especially true for the cigar store.


Mexican television stations are airing complaints and comedy sketches concerning Arizona’s new law which makes it a state crime to be in the country illegally. However, no one is asking why Mexico doesn’t just stop sucking as a place to live.


The city of Minneapolis is cutting down on traffic through a series of bus only lanes, bike paths, and express lane tolls. They’ve also followed Arizona’s lead and cut down on outsiders entering the city.


Wal-Mart is putting electronic identification tags on men's clothing to gain more control of its inventory. The garments will have removable smart tags that can be read from a distance by Wal-Mart workers with scanners. The scanners are also able to tell if the customers are fooling themselves by trying to fit into a certain pair of jeans. Next month Walmart plans to have a ray gun that prevents shoppers from leaving without buying anything.


The group, Consumers Against Supermarket Privacy Invasion and Numbering, is nervous, not only about this new tracking system, but also about the possibility that they’ll have to stick with their ridiculously long name.
