It's Clinton, 2016: Get used to it

The rich and the rest

There's nothing wrong with being rich, or playing rich on TV.

The holidays were great, but not so much for many Korean workers. In general, Asian countries are infamous for long working days, eschewing labor practices to which most Western countries adhere.
