today in the News (the trickle-down effect)

Wal-Mart profit soars 17%
Sing Hallelujah!
Crack open the champagne
And drink ‘em down
Joyfully:
A celebration!!

Later
As your kidneys do their unappreciated job
Stand tall
On your balconies of gold
And relieve yourself on the blue-clad minions below

Wal-Mart profit soars 17%
Employees receive a generous
Well-deserved bonus
