    AT&T to Make Millions Thanks to New 'Administrative Fee'

    AT&T is late. Government has been using the term "fee" to get around the legal hurdle of a "tax" for a while now. It takes a 2/3 majority in California legislature to pass a tax, but only an adminstrative fiat to pass a fee. Want to be outraged? Be outraged at the government.

    Wal-Mart Could Use Customers to Deliver Online Orders
