Pitts like donuts, too

Brad Pitt takes kids for donuts. Health czar not amused:

Nice kid

Are donuts ever bad? "They taste so sweet."

How do we know the following crook is a hard core scumbag? He robs a donut store and is described as "slim." Jerk:

Donuts in the news. Again. Do they ever really leave it?

Now why wasn't this a good idea?

Is not "freedom of choice" also a marketing pitch (I seem to remember BK using it...), and doesn't business always trump more abstract ideology, whether it should or not?

This guy says it better I suppose. His capstone phrase is "And conservatives wonder why their movement is in trouble?" and he notes "freedom of choice" has long been a call of conservative movements.

And another professor, having done due research, is all over the connection of doughnuts and politics:

Obama does so too like Dunkin Donuts. With sprinkles of evidence.

An apparently Brazilian blogger notes the following spending in the campaign:
"How much Obama spent until 15/oct?
>> US$ 564 million <
How much McCain spent until 15/oct?
>> US$ 262 milhões <<
Media: US$ 116 millionTravels: US$ 20 millionSalaries and benefits: US$ 20 millionHome Depot: US$ 3.430Domino’s Pizza: US$ 550Starbucks: US$ 1.810Einstein Bros. Bagels: US$ 87Dunkin’ Donuts: US$ 1.010"

Great stuff.

Donuts for McCain. Not that it helped.

Blogger Jed (jedreport.com) followed this donut-related story:
"At the event, the head of AP addressed Barack as "Osama" while John McCain was given a box of Dunkin' Donuts -- with sprinkles. And coffee, with a little cream and a little sugar. By none other than Liz Sidoti. "

This is old now, and I don't just mean old fashioned, though it is an old fashioned attack on any liberal who has well-heeled supporters to imply that they don't "get" the struggles of "working people."
On Hillary Clinton and donuts, this UK reporter/columnist Gerard Baker writes,
"Mrs Clinton is the candidate of what might be called Dunkin' Donut Democrats. They do not have money to waste on multiple-hyphenated coffee drinks - double-top, no-foam, non-fat lattes and the like. Not for them the bran muffins or the biscotti. They are the 75-cent coffee and doughnut crowd. For them caffeine choice doesn't correlate with their values but simply represents a means of keeping them going through their challenging day." (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnists/gerard_baker/article3330288.ece)

But Obama supporters "are the people for whom Starbucks, with its $5 cups of coffee and fancy bakeries, is not just a consumer choice but a lifestyle. They not only have the money. They share the values."
OK: nothing at Star* is actually $5. and nothing at Dunkin but _one_ donut is .75 (the coffee is well over that).
I don't care any more. But this post is at least about donuts.

a man. a plan. obama. donuts.

One more. It's morning in America.
