This just in:

The new Wal-Mart Stores Inc. location opening Friday in suburban Evergreen Park received a record 25,000 applications for 325 positions, the highest for any one location in the retailer’s history, a company official says.

Yes, you read that correctly. Wal-Mart clearly has intentions to reject 24,675 applicants. As if resisting the siren call (er...strong arm) of the labor unions and selling goods for criminally low prices isn't enough already. There must be some way to stop this premeditated dismissal of so many potential workers. Perhaps Illinois can pull a Maryland and pass a law that requires Wal-Mart to provide jobs for each and every one of these applicants.

That would show them...
