The American Idiot

I think the most amazing about the Rachel Ray scarf debacle isn't that it was news at all, but the real story, that a few rabid bloggers can actually effect change with misinformation on a national scale. That they actually managed to make a large corporation alter its course, regardless of the actual merit of their claim, is something to be praised. If the left could manage to achieve these kind of results this quickly this country might start to feel like something different then a place where a few fundamentalist fanatics dictate what people wear in advertisements. I have to think this story played huge to the "I don't like Hussein, I don't want no more Hussein" crowd in West Virginia.
