Jersey Shore cast on the corporate welfare dole

?Jersey Shore? tax credit approved; NJ taxpayers angry they?re paying for Snooki, The Situation

The state Economic Development Authority has approved covering a $420,000 tax credit for production costs from the "Jersey Shore's" first season.
 
That means tax dollars will be used to offset the cost of all the club hopping, fist-pumping and fake tanning from the hit reality show's 2009 season.
 
The irony that New Jersey residents will be forced to foot the bill for a show that many view as an affront to the state's self-image is not lost on some.

A mobius strip of metasatire:

The Onion awakens a sleeping giant

A satiric media organization is being investigated for engaging in satire? It's straight out of The Onion.

Authorities: 2 women throw bleach on each other during fight at Walmart; hazmat team called

ARBUTUS, Md. ? Authorities in Maryland say two women threw bleach and another chemical on each other during a fight at a Walmart, prompting officials to evacuate the store for two hours and call in a hazardous materials team.

Fire officials say 19 people had to be taken to hospitals, although only one was thought to have serious injuries. That person was taken to the Wilmer Eye Institute with a potentially serious eye injury.

Fire officials were called to the store in the Baltimore suburb of Arbutus shortly before 11 a.m. Saturday.

Fire Department spokesman Glenn Blackwell says one person was arrested and charges are pending.
