Ha! You got that right! Yet, if Phelps had been photographed with a
case of stoopid booze under one arm and a stoopid Bible under the other,
it would add to his legend in the twisted little minds of the
republican-values morons.

Right, their endorsements had nothing to do with my grocery list. They
have, however, managed to get themselves kicked off the list
altogether. I am now entirely unlikely to purchase Kellogg products
because they have demonstrated themselves to be willing stooges of the
republican retards and the superstitious religions.

You can forget about it. We can all forget about it. To the economic
equation, sickened and killed consumers are just an "externality."
Irrelevant, like a sawn-down rain forest, which makes way for a palm-oil
plantation so someone can make some more money.
