A Thousand Points Of Bullshit

No, this is not from The Onion. It's real, and it is one of the most offensive things I've read in a long time:

A Walmart in northeast Ohio is holding a holiday canned food drive — for its own underpaid employees. “Please Donate Food Items Here, so Associates in Need Can Enjoy Thanksgiving Dinner,” a sign reads in the employee lounge of a Canton-area Walmart.

Kory Lundberg, a Walmart spokesman, says the drive is a positive thing. “This is part of the company’s culture to rally around associates and take care of them when they face extreme hardships,” he said.

Think about that one for a second. This Walmart is so "concerned" about its underpaid associates that is asking a bunch of other underpaid folks -- also known as other Walmart employees -- to help feed these people.

If this doesn't epitomize the GOP's vision of what it wants America to become, then I don't know what does.
