Half a million tea workers on strike

I mean I know that's not even the biggest strike, there was another strike earlier this year where one southern state's government workers went on strike, there were millions of them, and the gov't retaliated by firing a quarter of them of something. But still.

Take my Bisexual Husband— Please:

Last week, the NYT ran an article called "Straight, Gay, or Lying?" about a new "scientific study" ... please use a hushed tone... that proves that although some men may call themselves bisexual, they're just a bunch of self-deluding ho-ho-homosexuals!

I have to say, that as soon as I made it half-way down the page, I snorted. Are these the same "scientists" who are fighting evolution in Kansas? The whole premise and procedure of this study wouldn't pass muster in a grade school science fair. —Yeah right, there's no such thing as human bisexuality— it's all done with mirrors and strategic press releases. This is one of those instances where you take Mr. Survey aside to a quiet room, and putting your arm around his shoulder, whisper, "You don't get out much, do you?"

She doesn't actually make much of a case, but I haven't read the study either, which may speak for itself. I'll check this out later.
