1) If imposing conditions of work is not considered a ground for striking, it's hard to imagine what would be.

2) Internet puppies are obviously the future.  (Seriously. if you haven't read Rule 34, there is an MMPB due out in late June.)

3) I've been expecting a rise in pensionable / retirement age for years;  the (Canadian) Conservatives have now delivered. (For the record, I expect retirement age to reach 70 by the time I'm 67.)

4) My 10-year-old daughter has taken to watching a particularly vapid subset of the products of the Disney Channel movies (e.g. Geek Charming Sixteen Wishes, Another Cinderella Story).  Does anyone know anything (on DVD) which subverts this in such a way as to be attractive to a 10-year-old?  I'm not looking for alternative themes (e.g. Girls Kick Ass as Well as Boys): I mean something which starts out looking like the sub-genre effectively enough to suck a 10-year-old in but subverts it while remaining appealing to the target audience.
