Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price (2005)
trust me
Trust me, I work there; they have---if you can believe it---gotten WORSE for the workers. They recently (within the last 2 months) changed our dress code---no hats (not so bad), everybody has to wear a blue clone shirt (a little bit worse), no more vests (so we have find other ways to carry the tools required for our job), and, just a couple days ago, no radios on the floor, which have been allowed ever since I started working there over 2 years ago. Also, within the last 2 months (this is the worst), they have decided we need to be to be timed on how long long it takes the stockers to work their freight. I mean, c'mon already, this is WAL_MART---not Ford Motor Company!!! If you want me to do piece work, then pay me piece work rate, not less than $10 an hour. Yup, Wal*Mart's lowering prices, alright---lowering the price they pay their employees (oops, sorry---ASSOCIATES).
Liar's Club (1976)
Memory from my youth
I actually saw a taping of this show when I was 14, on a trip with my parents and nephew to visit friends in L.A. We had visited Universal Studios that day, and at the exit to the park, they were handing out tix to game shows. They said they had tix to "Liar's Club," which happened to be my favorite show at the time. This was when a LOT of syndicated game shows were on the air, before "Wheel" and the new "Jeopardy!" My parents said OK, this is your favorite show, let's go. The guests were Buddy Hackett, Betty White, Larry Hovis, and David Letterman(when he still had a morning show on NBC, after "Today"). It was pretty cool, all I really remember was that at one point, they had a puppy, and the panel tried to pass it off as being something else(Buddy Hackett said it was a saxophone, even "blowing" into the puppy's tail as the reed piece). That is the best memory I have from that trip, and I will never forget it.
