Wal-Mart snoop

Bif. Zap. Zow. Another black eye for Wal-Mart. An investigation is underway because a technician intercepted text messages and made unauthorized recordings of conversations between a New York Times reporter and Wal-Mart PR people. The technician has been fired. Wal-Mart says the tech operated independently. (Arch eyebrow here.) The U.S. attorney in Fort Smith is investigating. The NY Times, presumably, is hot.

Wtf, they have hundreds of little eyes inspecting you all over their stores, not just up above but in the shelves, at the register, restrooms, pay phone areas, parking lots, you name it.
Employess in the corporate buildings must read a RF imbedded name badge at all times so the company can tract them too.

In all fairness Wally did tell the NYT about it.


If the techie didn't put a "signal" on the phone line, the 10 second beep, then he is cooked.

How's the largest sex discrimintion lawsuit in the world coming along?

Walmart = Patriot Act Incorporated

Is this a Rove US attorney investigating this? If not, how soon will this person be replaced with a Bushist corporate whore?

I've been busy thinking about spring canning and didn't notice if Fort Republican had our US attorney switched out for a new Rove model.

Do anybody know? I was going to run out to the Walmart grocery store, guess I better go change underwear...what I gots on is like Swiss cheese.
