I wasn't happy with how the group chose to spend the money, but Target is a single issue voter.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
They are. Corporate greed at the expense of others. Now that they put their money where their mouth is (god, I never thought that ruling would screw with grammar too) they don't get mine.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And this is why corporations aren't people!! If my Orthodox friend was going to be a single-issue voter, she would have voted for McCain -- but she remembered how she has to live here, and added up what he would do to the US vs. what he would do for Israel, and seriously. Seriously.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Now that they put their money where their mouth is
How is one $150,000 contribution put toward one local PAC worth more than the millions in direct benefits to supporting their LGBT their employees annually, worldwide putting their money where their mouth is?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
In the sense that they said they gave the money because he is corporation friendly.
I have a friend who is a buyer/director of something or other who benefits from their policies. I still think that donation was a massive fail.

No, they said the PAC they donated to is corporation friendly.
And it was a massive fail - I won't say otherwise. But I don't think that looking at one donation to one group is the entire picture when historically, Target has supported lots of issues on both sides of the fence is entorely fair to say "That's what they believe".
Edited to finish my thought that suffered from Childus Interuptus.

(And also? God save me from a recalcitrant 5 year old who is being a PITA about cleaning her room. And also a mother who likes to revise history and tell me she didn't so things she damn well did do. Hmph.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Have you seen them all? I'm totally a fanboy. Not a dud in the mix.
Yeah. I didn't love Insomnia or Following, but he did usurp Ang Lee in terms of hit rate, because they were still pretty good movies. And the ones of his I love...man, he got Batman right--twice. I almost don't care if he gets it right a third time.

Aw Aims, I thinks such is the nature of mothers and five year olds.

Yeah, Insomnia is probably my least favorite, even though I really liked it, but he's got a 100% hit rate with me.
