"Obama is a shadowboxer"

Give me a break! I've got news for all the latte-drinking, Prius-driving, Birkenstock-wearing, trust fund babies crowding in to hear him speak! This guy won't last a round against the Republican attack machine. He's a poet, not a fighter.

No pay for trapped Chilean miners?

Chile-miners

The 33 trapped Chilean miners may not receive any wages while they are trapped underground, a union official has claimed. Evelyn Olmos says that San Esteban, the company that operates the mine, has said it has no money to pay their wages and absorb lawsuits, and is not even participating in the rescue. Mr Olmos has called on the government to pay the workers' wages starting in September, as well as giving help to the 100 or so others at the mine who are now out of work and 170 more who work for San Esteban.
