I'd Congratulate Mr. Bush on the New Overtime Rules, But I'd Be in Overtime and It Wouldn't Be Paid

(Cough)

Condolences to the many of you about to be formally screwed under the Bush Administration's new (no) overtime law as it goes into effect. Mr. Bush, having never made it to the south end of a 40-hour (or a 30- or a 20- perhaps) work week, doesn't believe overtime is necessary. Remember, he says he doesn't understand how poor people think, so he didn't have to worry about how the overtime law would hurt them.
