Speaking of book reviews

I am finding it hard to like this piece of Wal-Mart apologia, which is really quite pointless. Sub-Economist mitherings about "well, on the one hand Wal-Mart are union-busters and pay terrible wages, but on the other hand you can get gherkins really cheap", we gottem. Of course, any criticism of Wallyworld is basically motivated by anti-Americanism. Or if you're American, Bush-hatred. And in turn, therefore snobbery. So, rather like one of those modern feminists you can see with their tits out on page 3, Aaro appears to be shuffling toward the position that buying Wal-Mart stock and providing political cover for its assault on labor[1] standards and zoning laws is the progressive, even the slightly radical thing to do.

Oh, and we British have always hated the retail trade because we're anti-Semites. I wish they'd given these books to Nick to review to be honest.
