8. Doesn't this just mean the donor's
employer is such and such company? Not so much that the COMPANY gave the money.

Or is this list different?

built in excuse to cover their asses for promoting Bush's propaganda 24 hours a day.

36. Yes, it costs me 30% to 100% more for shoes due to special...
...orders. Once in while I find my size on the shelf but it's rare. Do a lot of orders by catalog, so have to add shipping charges as well.

24. Crap. I just bought Little Sneezers tonight.
But, when I'm broke and the kid wants a pizza, it's hard to beat their $5 pizzas.
:(

But, I do have a couple of questions. What's the difference between Red Lobster and Red Lobster Darden? Is it the chain vs. a franchise?
And I haven't ever been to Hooters. I was never going to go until they had half-naked waiters, but now I have a better reason not to. ;)

19. Basically I have to gut my bathroom
and throw out all my underwear. I get to keep the furniture and the quilt I made. To be honest, I bought all the FOL undies at Walmart, so when it's time to replace them I'll have to find a new store. But all my make-up has to go!

31. Better bras, too
Yes it's a tacky store, but the bras I've bought there have held up better than any I've found anywhere else (including VS). Oddly enough, it was my cousin-an executive producer in Hollywood-who suggested I buy from them!

25. This is not only a great site, it's a sad commentary about what
we are up against. Anyone who can't understand why the democratic party is less than effective needs only to be shown this site, and to scroll down a few categories.

Seeing this, the fact that dems get as much as 48% is amazing.

32. Don't forget; there's an entire forum devoted to buying blue and
living green; it's the economic activism and progressive living group! (See DU groups).

more reason to buy from them, they have all the bases covered.The company has a close relation to LVMH (Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy), and in a joint venture sells Moet & Chandon champagne and Hennessy cognac. So no matter what you drink, they probably make something you like.


Guiness, Harp, Kilkenny Irish, Red Stripe

Hennessy (joint venture)

Gilbey's, Gordon's, Tanqueray

Archers, Baileys, Pimm's

Smirnoff Ice, Smirnoff Black Ice, Smirnoff Mule, Archers Aqua, J&B Twist, Johnnie Walker One


Bundaberg, Cacique, Captain Morgan, Myers's

Cuervo, Don Julio


Citroc, Smirnoff

Bell's, Crown Royal, J & B, Johnnie Walker, Seagram's 7, Seagram's VO

Barton & Guestier, Beaulieu Vineyard, Blossom Hill, Piat D'Or, Moet & Chandon (joint venture), Sterling Vineyards
