Expect to hear a lot about American Samoa in the coming weeks in light of the passage of the minimum wage bill. For instance, this exchange between Barney Frank and Patrick McHenry.

For the full smackdown and explanation, see dday’s post about the issue. Arm yourselves against the Samoan Offensive.
