Cheers and jeers

Cheers to the Pensacola News Journal for standing up to Wal-Mart. The multi-billion-dollar corporation was peeved that a Florida journalist mentioned certain aggregate statistics involving children of Wal-Mart employees and a Georgia health-care program. So Wal-Mart tried to get this particular journalist fired. The paper stood up to Wal-Mart, even though as a result the paper was removed from Wal-Mart stores.

Jeers to Senator Rick Santorum, who has no trouble blaming the Catholic sex abuse scandals on Boston's liberal culture or on the victims themselves, but can't bring himself to blame the sick priests who perpetrate the abuse.
