SUV Magnet Sales Plummer

Obviously due to this brilliance (first mentioned here):

From the Financial Times:

For three years after the invasion of Iraq, it was difficult to drive more than a few miles through middle America without seeing a car displaying a magnetic yellow ribbon.

The magnets, bearing the slogan “Support Our Troops”, became a symbol of patriotism for millions of […]

“Robin Hood” restaurants

This is one of the coolest ideas I’ve ever heard.

Deciding between the spicy peanut stew and the pesto chicken, or the squash soup and the avocado, chicken, lime soup, are not the only decisions tempting patrons at the One World Café in Salt Lake City and the SAME (So All Might Eat) Café in […]

Subversion in the War on Christmas

Did you hear that Wal-Mart decided it was in their bottom line’s best interest to go back to saying Merry Christmas instead of Happy Holidays? Personally, I couldn’t care less what they say to me on the way out of the door. If Wal-Mart is where you get your spiritual fulfillment you might […]

Follow-up on the Nazi T-Shirts.

According to Bent Corner, Wal-Mart still hasn’t removed the Nazi shirts from their stores.

Yesterday afternoon I stopped at a Wal-Mart on my way home for work and found a stack of the same shirts still for sale in the men’s department. My wife also stopped at a different Wal-Mart on her way home from […]

Letter from Wal-Mart

I got an email from a Wal-Mart public relations firm regarding the Nazi T-Shirts:

James,

Good morning. My name is Marshall Manson. I work for Edelman doing online public affairs for Wal-Mart. I noticed your post about the t-shirts that Wal-Mart is selling. I wanted to make sure you saw the company’s statement about this […]

Nazi Death Head

I stopped in at Wal-Mart today after I got off work. I had to pick up a few things. As I was walking past the men’s clothing area, something caught […]

Abstinence only corruption

Back in August I posted about the corruption in the faith-based initiative programs. Sunday in the Arkansas Democrat Gazette there was an article on an abstinence-only group located in Fort Smith, AR called Tree of Life Preventive Health Maintenance Inc., the #1 abstinence promoter in the state. This company is completely entwined with […]

New Rules

Some people have been talking about Bill Maher’s new rule for conservative think tanks:
A) You can’t call yourself a think tank if all your ideas are stupid. And B), if you’re someone from one of the think tanks that dreamed up the Iraq War, and who predicted that we’d be greeted as liberators, and that […]

Does the online gambling ban violate the WTO

Antigua thinks so. The Agitator had this to say:

I’ve been trying for months to get reporters to cover is the free trade angle of the Internet gambling ban. Not only is the U.S. trying to impose its own laws and values on the rest of the world, (1) it’s doing so in a manner […]

On rudeness and self restraint

So the wife takes our youngest (photo of his lazy ass at the top of the page) out with her to run errands the other day. One of the things she had to do was get rid of some of the kids old toys, some little baby things and stuff they just plain don’t […]
