Diamonds and a ring of gold
So Walmart is now running ads in which a female store manager talks about all the opportunities that Walmart has granted her. (In the commercial, she conspicuously leaves out the opportunities to undermine labor unions and metastasize the American economy.) Obviously, Walmart-- which just lowered its quarterly projections-- is trying to shore itself up in the face of the largest discrimination lawsuit in American labor history. Are they trying to taint the jury pool?
Who knows, but in my experience, if the charges against you are frivolous, you know they're frivolous and let them be exposed as such by their own downward momentum. The only time you give face time to the claims against you is when they're true and you're trying to spin them.
Now, watch this drive.

Clever, i liked the way you ended this entry, an homage to an Fahrenheit 9/11 clip with bush golfing. clever indeed. And Can O'Reily put his own spin on the movie if he has a No Spin zone?
The No Spin Zone is obviously disengenuous since all journalism is spin to some degree or another.
Alas, the spin that Rush took on F911 was to say that it's opening weekend gross was not that impressive (which is is) and to say it is full of nothing but lies (this point is a little less clear; the facts presented in the movie are just that and have been verified by professional fact checkers. most of the film is footage of actual events, this the only room for lies comes in the inference through the tone and juxtaposition of these factual elements. Admittedly, in that space the film makes some pretty brazen alligations, to be sure, but it makes its case. You can call it a faulty conclusion, but full of lies is definitely quite a bit of spin.)
Of course, like Rush, I haven't seen the film.
Now, watch this drive. ;^)
