Tisana and I were talking about this at Diesel last Thursday - the moral implications (or not?) of Curves:

And Tisana, the organization I was trying to remember from being super vocal at the March last year was Operation Rescue . . .

Related, I never knew about the Dominos owner and his political leanings. Are there any other large companies in this boat (besides Coors, who the article mentions) that you're aware of?

"i hate starbucks. what do people complain about?"

Them putting small mom and pop type places out of business. The same reason some complain about Wallmart and Home Depot :)

I'm amazed to see General Motors on the Red list. I think of them as very working class/detroit/hard hit by economic times (i.e. I'd guess them to be mroe blue than Red).

Now they just need to alphabetize that list for easier parusal :)

oh yes, i agree. i don't like the fact that SB is taking over. and i also hate wal-mart with a passion. although i DID give in and go there when i visited my mom last month. we were able to stock up on 1.5 months of groceries for a mere $73!

GM doesn't surprise me much. seems like those places that are most hard hit are in the red zones. so it kind of makes sense. i mean, GM is cutting thousands of jobs while advertising "get your car at the employee discount price". so yeah, that doesn't surprise me that GM is in the red column.
