From the Arkansas Democrat Gazette:
Wal-Mart executives met Wednesday with Eugene Scalia, the attorney who will defend the company in a legal battle against self-proclaimed whistle-blower Jared Bowen, a former vice president the company fired in April.
Scalia was lead attorney at the U.S. Department of Labor between 2001 and 2003. During that time, he helped implement the very law that Bowen is now using to sue his former employer. Scalia is also the son of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.

So let's be honest, we all know that the Labor Dept. has become Bush's pawn. But this is just truly mindblowing. How in the hell can it be OK for someone who helped implement the whistle blower protection laws at the Dept. of Labor then go and defend a multi-billion dollar corporation against someone using those very whistleblower protection laws?
Honestly, this type of shit makes me want to crawl in a hole and hide until America becomes what America once was and should be again. If only I were able to share the audio of myself screaming at the walls right now.
