The former customers are over at that new bakery, buying $5 cupcakes.

I think we should take a moment to remember the greatest boycott ever - well, at least since the millworkers in Manchester, England, went without work for years because they didn't want to weave slave-grown cotton from the Confederate States of America.

I write, of course, about Bull O'Really's boycott of France! A whole fucking country! And we know it was a roaring success because he said it was, and any one doubting his obvious facts could read about it in the Paris Business Review.

I'm boycotting a certain VP candidate and her spawn child who has a tee-vee show and it's not working out very well.

I'm not much of a Starbucks fan. When I occasionally go in there for a brownie they ask me if I'd like something to drink to go with it and I say "You guys serve coffee?"

However - to the Starbucks busters here I would like to point out at least they provide employee health insurance. I know you'll probably answer that it's a crappy plan, etc. And I'm prepared to believe working there isn't as sweet as having a job at In 'n' Out.

But any low-wage retail establishment that offers any benefits is taking a solid step in the right direction, and giving the lie to those other businesses that say it can't be done.

Magnolia Cafe at 1600 S. Congress - open 24 hours. Try the Eggs Zapatino, it's spicy love.

The GOP boycott of reality really paid off big, didn't it?

Despite the loss of their Republican supporters. Amazing, innit?

I'll believe their "boycott" is working when I can walk 4 blocks and not pass 8 Starbucks.

Rick Perry had a Prayer-A-Paloser last summer and 1.3 million acres and 2,200 structures were destroyed.

Today I boycotted Chick-Filet for a tasty plate of migas at a hippy-owned Cafe in South Austin and was served by a gorgeous lesbian who could make any man or woman blush because of her wit and beauty. And the coffee didn't taste like 3% phosphoric acid.
