Wal-Martian Invasion by Barbara Ehrenreich, the Baltimore Sun/ Common Dreams
It's torn cities apart from Inglewood, Calif., to Chicago, and engulfed the entire state of Vermont. Now the conflict's gone national as a presidential campaign issue, with John Kerry hammering the mega-retailer for its abysmally low wages and Dick Cheney praising it for its "spirit of enterprise, fair dealing and integrity." This could be the central battle of the 21st century: Earth people vs. the Wal-Martians.
No one knows exactly when the pod landed on our planet, but it seemed normal enough during its early years of gentle expansion. Almost too normal, if you thought about it, with those smiley faces and that red-white-and-blue bunting, like the space invaders in a 1950s sci-fi flick when they put on their human suits.
