Minimum raise just went up...wish my raise was that big!

I just found out that the minimum wage just went up .70. (http://cnnwire.blogs.cnn.com/2008/07/23/minimum-wage-to-jump-by-70-cents-thursday/)

I'm not complaining that it went up...It is a much needed raise. I remember what it was like living on minimum wage and will always support raising it.

I'm just a little miffed that it went up higher than my annual raise!!! We usually get at least a cost of living increase at my work, but not this year. It's not even enough to make up the increased amount of money I am spending a week on gas just to go to work! It's not even close! Maybe I should try and find a job closer to home that I can walk to? Or maybe use public transport?

What is the most biased news outlet in America?

Okay, so, on www.foxnews.com; there is a poll on the Bill O'Reilly page. It asks "What is the most biased news outlet in America?" Here are their choices:
"The New York Times", "MSNBC", "Associated Press" & "NPR". Umm...does anyone else find an issue with this???

So, here's what I am going to do! I'm putting a poll together adding Fox News! So, vote! This will be a REAL vote! Unlike those bastards at Fox News! I'll post a pic later when I'm at home of their website with the ironic poll on it.
