Colorado drops minimum wage

Here is an interesting story I read today.

The state of Colorado is dropping its minimum wage. Why? Because it is tied to the consumer price index. And since the CPI went down the minimum wage is going down. Fortunately for those minimum wage workers it is only $0.03 an hour. At 40 hrs a week all year long that is just over $62 in a year.

Tate Modern exhibition shot down over nude Brooke Shields photo

The UK’s Tate Modern museum has an exhibition right now by artist Richard Prince. It is called “Spiritual America.” And it was just shut down by the police. Why? Because it includes a nude photo of a 10-year-old Brooke Shields. I’m wondering who thought that was okay to include in the first place.

No more Guiding Light

Well, there is no Guiding Light this week. It seems kind of weird that it’s not on. In my time zone they are just playing an extra Price is Right in its time slot. I suspect other time zones where it aired in the afternoon are seeing something else though. Sad days when soaps start leaving the air.

It takes a Clinton

I’m only slightly humored that it is requiring a Clinton in North Korea. Looks like Bill might get Ling and the other reporter out of North Korea. Apparently, this was a hush-hush trip he was taking. Hope they treat him better than they did Hillary when she was there! That was just bad.

Palin get an apology

If you recall, I was recently talking about the whole Palin vs Letterman thing. He made a joke about her daughter and it was big news. She did a lot of press about the whole thing. And there was a lot of media attention in general. And now it seems that Letterman has apologized. Too bad it took him a few days.
