ISN'T THAT SPECIAL

The Army has decided to reimburse a Halliburton subsidiary for nearly all of its disputed costs on a $2.41 billion no-bid contract to deliver fuel and repair oil equipment in Iraq, even though the Pentagon's own auditors had identified more than $250 million in charges as potentially excessive or unjustified.

The Army said in response to questions on Friday that questionable business practices by the subsidiary, Kellogg Brown & Root, had in some cases driven up the company's costs. But in the haste and peril of war, IT HAD LARGELY DONE AS WELL AS COULD BE EXPECTED, the Army said, and aside from a few penalties, the government was compelled to reimburse the company for its costs.

Damn I've done work for the Government, bet if I charged them more than what I bid they wouldn't pay me a dime over my bid. NOR SHOULD THEY.

THIS CANNOT STAND

With Wal-Mart Stores under mounting pressure to spend more on employee health insurance, the company's chief executive on Sunday urged the nation's governors not to pass legislation that would burden the giant retailer, and pledged to work with the governors to move workers off state Medicaid rolls.

The executive, H. Lee Scott Jr., said that state bills aimed at improving Wal-Mart's benefits "may score short-term political points, but they won't solve America's health care challenges."

Mr. Scott said that Wal-Mart's health plans were "not perfect" but that the company was committed to improving the health care system by expanding its benefits and by opening low-cost medical clinics for workers and the public in its stores.

This is a shame. Poor little old WAL-MART can't make it on $10 billion a year profit instead of $11 billion.

I think we should all help them make up the difference by sending them a dime.
