#1 Now if Dan and Bubba would donate yesterday's proceeds to the Willard's campaign...... Total smack down!

#2 My big suspicion: people don't really care about gay marriage per se, this is just one way they can finally express their opinion of TinkerRahm and his ilk.

#3 ..one way they can finally express their opinion of ~~TinkerRahm and his ilk~~ ruling elite.

Guess too many years have past in history for the 'elite' to remember literally the bloody lesson of not listening to vox populi. Just repeats the game later of (real) historians and chroniclers of "why didn't they pay attention to what was happening?" The real answer is that they didn't want to pay attention, they thought they were in charge and could bend the world to their view. Caution - bending can lead to breaking.

#5 It's nice to see a very loud, collective "FU!" directed to the pinhead "elite" (spit).

#7 Nothing makes the elite angrier than the proles doing voluntarily with their dollars what they won't be dragooned into doing the opposite of.

#8 Exactly. I'd have gone to a CFA if there was one in driving distance, even though most of their fare is not on my diet, mainly to give a big FU to the elite. Heck, if they were soliciting funds for a corporate sponsored charity, I'd have chucked in 40 bux.

Oh well, I'll just do the next best thing and give a big FU to the elite by sending that 40 bux to Fred.

#9 Done via Amazon. painless, immensely satisfying, and zero calories to boot.

So true. I think a reminder lesson is being queued up for them.

It's been a while since I mentioned that I adore you, Ptah. That was seriously elegant economy of communication.
