 THEBLAZE.COM 7 Hours Ago 'There Is a Stench to This': Mo. Town Livid After Saudi National's First-Degree Murder Charge Dismissed by  Dave Urbanski A Saudi national in Missouri accused of first-degree murder—and who remained in jail for 11 months even after the Saudi Arabian government posted his $2 million bail—is a free man. Ziyad Abid was accused of paying his roommate to kill a popular bar owner in Warrensburg, Mo., a town about an hour east of Kansas City, but prosecutors dropped those charges Friday due to insufficient evidence, according to the  Associated Press. And many in Warrensburg are livid. "There's a stench to this, this town is outraged," resident Steve Ciafullo told  WDAF-TV . "Anyone else would face trial, he might be innocent but he should stand trial like everybody else should."

 HOTAIR.COM 4 Hours Ago The McMyth of the McPoverty Calculator posted at 7:01 pm on August 3, 2013 by Jazz Shaw The Daily Beast has come up with what they surely must have thought was a brainstorm in the ongoing debate over a "living wage" in the United States, though what the end goal of the experiment is seems to be something of a mystery. In it, they posit a wonderful, sunshine and rainbow filled world where all of the workers at McDonald's could take home significantly higher wages if only their mean old corporate taskmasters would simply raise the price of their products a bit. And in this offering –  called The McPoverty Calculator  – you get to join in on the fun and play along by entering an amount (in pennies) that you'd be willing to pay above the current cost for a Big Mac, and the tool helpfully translates that change into how much more the employees could earn. The pitch for it is just heart warming. Paying cents more for a burger could mean big wage hike...
