I admit, I finally caved myself this past weekend. I put it off for months, but I finally decided I had to have a \"#1 with a Cherry Coke\". It's my favorite Saturday lunch. I also own an iPhone (and probably other things made at Foxconn<\/a>); I patronize a local jeweler who plays Limbaugh in the shop; I buy diamonds for my wife; I eat meat; I do not drive a hybrid; I don't avoid the local burger chain with the Bible stuff on their cups; I thought it was stupid and childish when wingnuts freaked out<\/a> about the pizza guy who hugged Obama; and I don't bother to check the political positions and contributions of all the other businesses I patronize. I am really not much of an activist. Go ahead, take away my Liberal Cool Kids Club card.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
