Clearly Madonna thinks they're underpaid to quote: "Well, when I am the president, I will first of all take all the money spent on defence and put it into education, so that schoolteachers get paid more money. It's scandalous how low their pay is.

I don't imagine she has too much sway in American politics just yet.

China new target for fast food brands 9th February 2012 8:17 PM
It is clearly going to be a growing market, just read this article about Starbucks opening it's first outlet in India (I can't believe they didn't have one already!)
Groupon - do you use it? 9th February 2012 8:10 PM
Well, BBC News - Groupon reports unexpected loss will be interesting if they do turn this around.

Why don't you apply to become an editor.....Then slip it in through the back door?

Cos it's against the Rules! Also the chances of you being successful in becoming an editor of your chosen category is also relatively slim unless you've chosen a small sub-category.... They don't normally let you in on a major category until you've got some experience and shown that you know what you're doing.
I thought this article on BBC News indicates a worrying twitter trend too thumbsdown

Tut, tut. Happy to say I have no control over the categories you'd be after and certainly not open to corruption!
