It was the first and only time I’d ever been so inspired by the honesty and integrity of a politician that I decided to get off my ass and volunteer for him.

You should be somewhere else, like these two places, for instance:

• I wrote a piece about Terry Pratchett at MamaPop.

You had just returned from a Buddhist monastery you had taken refuge in for nearly ten years during a time of political unrest. It turned out that acting as a spiritual guru for teenage boys whom you tried to molest was your thing. Your request for my sympathy was pathetic.I am a participant in x365 and Blog 365. ...

The article is from a month ago, but it was just brought to my attention that the Chairman of Urban Outfitters is also a big Republican donor, specifically a benefactor of ex-Pennsylvania Senator (and vicious anti-gay attack dog) Rick Santorum. Yes, this is the same Urban Outfitters where many young gays buy their first ironic t-shirts and skinny jeans.
