The Evil Empire Steps Down

Thanks to Keith Olbermann and all the other thousands of outraged Americans, Wal-Mart has backed down on taking the settlement money that former employee, Deborah Shank received (and which I wrote about previously). CNN has the full story here.

I guess even the evil empire saw the writing on the wall about this one. While I know that it doesn't probably mean a lot in the grand scheme of things—the economy is still tanking, we are still involved in a senseless war, and our environment is on the fast-track to destruction—at least it gives me a warm little glow that if small people make enough noise, we can change things.

Raise your glass to the little guy, sticking it to the man!
