5. I go into my local Whole Foods a couple a times a week for some free samples.
I swear that since I stopped shopping there when he made that asinine statement, that there are noticeably less shoppers.

10. About 5:11 into the clip
I thought Security (if that was store security) was going to walk the guy on the bullhorn out. I'm glad they didn't. Flashmobs are awesome and they get the point out there without all the hate. Do you think the other side understands that?


:applause:

14. This is so great that the Dem's and progressives are getting together
to fight for health care reform. They have much more fun than the Republicans and they won't end up with a heart attack and walking around so upset all the time!
