More reasons to boycott Wal-Mart -- like you needed more? This WSJ article reveals how companies that actually give their employees a decent wage and benefits, like Costco, suffer on Wall Street, while rapacious slavedriver WalMart gets a boost for "putting the shareholders first." This makes me ill...and also makes me want to go buy a case of toilet paper at Costco, yeah! That'll show 'em! Sigh.

One interesting ray of hope, though: former Miss America Carolyn Sapp has made stopping WalMart's mistreatment of its female employees her mission. Slightly ironic, but very cool.
