Poofy Ping.
Where's the barf alert?
I checked out the website he's talking about. It lists "blue" and "red" companies.
There are a couple of companies listed that I didn't know were blue. I'll not be shopping there any more.
Fruit of the Loom underwear gave nearly 100 percent of its corporate donations to tighty-whitey-wearing RepublicansI swear I always I feel much better wearing Fruit of the Loom underwear... now I know why :)
I wonder what his favorite flavor is?
I hope this guy was wearing a tie, so someone could help him get his head out of his A--. I would know where he was from without naming his city.
This thing was actually published? Thank goodness I haven't bought a Chronicle in about ten years.
Does this guy really get paid for writing this garbage. It is pathetic how hatefilled Dums are. Anyway, all good fascist/socialist/commie/dums don't have any money to spend.
Honestly, I have more respect for Islamic suicide bombers: even in the depths of their evil they, at the very least, have a seriousness of commitment.
What can you do? You can skip the Marriott or the Holiday Inn (76 and 73 percent to the GOP respectively), and stay at the lib-friendly Hyatt. Skip Yahoo.com (a shocking 92 percent to the GOP -- what the hell?) and head over to Google, which gave 100 percent (!) of their donations to the Dems (side note: Google rules).
What else? Toss American and Continental, fly JetBlue. Join NetFlix. Screw Repub-lovin' Wal-Mart and K-Mart (and, if you're reading this column, chances are you need no prompting from me to avoid those epic karmic wastelands) and head over to the giant vortex of consumer madness known as Bed Bath & Beyond, which gave 93 percent to the Dems. I know. I hate that store, too. But now you get to hate them a little less.
Another amazing example? Starbucks. And as much as I despise their ruthless march into funky neighborhoods and strip malls across the nation, the coffee monolith does indeed have truly fabulous employee benefits and incredible customer service, and now you learn that they gave 100 percent of their donations, every single frothy frappaccinoed dime, to the Democrats. It's true. So leave that hideous Folgers and the Sanka swill to jittery BushCo. Go get yourself a peppermint mocha and feel good about it.
As for Amazon, well, it is a bit distressing for many of us who love that bulbous megastore and who shop there all the time to discover that they gave so much to Repubs, which is just odd and a bit inexplicable, especially given how they're based in hugely liberal Seattle and geeky CEO Jeff Bezos seemed at one time to be reasonably attuned and quirky and progressive, except maybe he's not.
Maybe he's just another hollow profiteer who supports war and disses foreigners and thinks gays are, you know, icky. But then again, Amazon did give 40 percent to Democrats. So it's a close call. After all, the venerable and terminally annoying Barnes & Noble gave 98 percent to the Dems, and I can't stand Barnes & Noble. But now, like Starbucks, I hate them a little less. And now maybe I'll just skip Amazon and buy my next gift copy of "The Surrender" or "What's the Matter with Kansas?" from B&N instead.

Cakeboys unite!Morford is.... you know, icky.
I wonder if it had occurred to this pinhead (Morford, not you Smitty) that Coors Brewing might have been trying to help Pete Coors in his run for Senate?
The Jeff Bezos I knew back in high school was more conservative than I, but then I was a liberal idiot. He was extremely intelligent and thoughtful. I would say he is probably an "Arnold Republican". Not enough for most of you all here I guess..
Hey, Morford: Pizza Hut and Taco Bell are the same company, doofus. They're both part of Yum! brands, which also includes KFC and Long John Silver's.
And while we have free speech in this country, describing the real chicken and beef served by Taco Bell as "toxic", "semirancid", and "meatlike" strikes me as borderline actionable. Watch yourself.
