Jeff MacGregor brings the hammer down on Roger Goodell and the NFL re: its lockout of the refs. The money shot: If Roger Goodell and the NFL and the NFL owners were serious about player safety and player conduct, for $50 million a year — less than 1 percent of total revenue — they could […]

Coming of age in the games industry: The Collective Agreement
by Michael Smith It’s no secret that the video games industry likes to compare its successes to those of the film industry. For several years now, game sales have surpassed the box office.

Kansas's war on workers, coming soon to a state near you (and by the way, how can the Secretary of Labor do her job when she doesn't even know what the AFL-CIO is?)
by Colin Curtis In recent history Kansas has become the breeding ground for extremist right wing agendas, legislation and beliefs.

What else is Palin willing to risk?
by Jennifer Angliss Let’s take Sarah Palin at her word that Trig is her biological son. We do not currently have any hard evidence to say otherwise, despite all those pictures floating around the internet. But the evidence we do have is disturbing enough. At 36 weeks of pregnancy, Palin was in Texas for an […]
Are escort services poised to go mainstream?
Whores no more. On the job, the key for many of us is adapting by adopting — an alternate personality, that is. But some jobs arouse emotions and sensations that are too overwhelming for the conscious mind. In the process called splitting, we shunt those off to a kind of branch line of our consciousness. […]
