One of our favorite things to do on an early Saturday morning (besides a bike ride) is going to the Irvine Farmers' Market. It's quite big and has a great selection of fruit, vegetables, breads, meats, fish, wares, etc.
Yesterday, we went later than usual - around 10 am - and had to compete with the stroller brigade and slow-moving septuagenarians. (Where are the death panels when you need them?) But I still managed to stock up on some glorious sweet green figs and concord grapes.
On the way out I noticed a guy wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with Dear Leader's face with the caption "Stop Lying". That made me chuckle. Turns out that he is right at home in the Irvine Farmers' Market. That's 'cos the organizer of several Orange County Farmers' Markets is a dyed-in-the-wool Republican!
Just check out her Facebook page (click to enlarge) -
I wonder how many Irvine liberals skipped their weekend trip to Whole Foods and instead patronized the Farmers' Market in an attempt to funnel their dollars towards someone who shares their values.
Hm, I haven't read that the organizer of the Orange County Farmers Markets has written a op ed piece for the Wall Street Journal, trying to influence the outcome of health care reform. Could that possible be what has people riled up?

"dyed-in-the-wool Republican!" LIE! Republicans only wear polyester!

This is another example why I always say; "Don't trust anyone that makes over $100,000 a year."

Why yes, taichisoprano. But don't you see the irony in this? I would bet that Trish Harrison agrees with Mackey's prescriptions for health care reform. Also, a boycott is just moronic as Radley points out.

I'm boycotting boycotts.
