A real-life controversy is giving Lifetime's Army Wives a run for its scandalous money.

Ashley Broadway and wife Heather Mack - a lieutenant colonel stationed at Fort Bragg - were married in November, a few months after the repeal of "Don't Ask Don't Tell."

But Broadway has been denied membership in a base club for officers' spouses, with many believing this ban is solely due to her sexual preference.

Broadway was told by a representative from the Association of Bragg Officers' Spouses last week that her application was turned down because she does not possess a military spouse identification card.

You hear a lot about corporations outsourcing jobs to China, but never about a person outsourcing responsibilities of their job overseas ... until now.

A Verizon investigation recently found that an employee of a "critical infrastructure" company started outsourcing his work to China on a daily basis.

He did this right under his employer's nose, paid the Chinese workers less than one fifth of his six-figure salary, and spent most of his day goofing off.

How is that possible, you ask?
