Biz: CVS sorry for giving crystal meth-makers their key ingredient

  • $75
    million     the amount CVS has to pay in fines for selling pseudoephedrine to criminals producing crystal meth
  • $2.5
    million     the amount the massive pharmacy chain has to give up in profits linked to the drug’s sale source
  • » Where you’ve used pseudoephedrine: Sudafed, Claritin, Zyrtec, Contac and Mucinex, among others. Some of these brands, by the way, no longer use the drug. What CVS did here wasn’t intentional so much as a blind eye. They didn’t question people making repeated purchases of these drugs.

Politics: Glenn Beck’s political ramblings: Not even Wal-Mart likes them

  • Wal-Mart, CVS, Best Buy and many more aren’t advertising with Beck. The Fox News host has a pretty serious issues with advertisers at the moment, weeks after calling Barack Obama a “racist” on his show, causing ColorOfChange.org to start a campaign against him. The list of advertisers is shrinking fast. No word on what the Sham-Wow guy plans to do yet. source
