...the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco that finds that "higher minimum wage results in some job loss for the least-skilled workers—with possibly larger adverse effects than earlier research suggested."

Gee, the academics and intelligentsia are finally coming to the same conclusions the rest of us peons came to years ago.

Obama's brother-in-law isn't doing that well either

Craig Robinson, President Obama's brother-in-law, is having a tough first year as Oregon State head basketball coach. They lost to Seattle University 99 - 48. Seattle U. is no basketball powerhouse--they just moved up to Div. 1 basketball recently, and possess a 7 - 9 record.

It's probably safe to say the honeymoon period is over for both.
