A funny article addressed to people who move to Israel. (From zachkessin.) Language issues are fun. :-)

The latest round in a long-running literary feud is pretty funny. I had no idea the British scholarly world was so exciting! :-) (From 530nm330hz.) (To bypass the required registration, try http://www.bugmenot.com.)

Now a serious one: save a life, get fired. If this account is true, the idiot customer should be charged with animal cruelty and Nieman-Marcus should reinstate and apologize to their employee. (From revlainiep.)

Wow, that Neiman Marcus story was...awful. I recall that Atlanta store back from when we lived in the area.

I've actually got a Neiman Marcus credit card (which I haven't used in years...and the reason why I got it was a funny story). I think maybe it's time I cut it up and mailed the pieces to Ms. Reeder in Dallas.

To be fair, I haven't done any fact-checking of my own. I found the (obviously-not-neutral) article credible enough to link; whether it's credible enough to complain to N-M is a call you'll have to make yourself.

That said, it sounds like a good way to make a point -- you're not just a potential customer but a (presumed) actual customer, if you have the card.
