Pandora's donut
I hate when something that tastes so good can be so evil. Everyone knows my strange weakness for the mysterious ingredients swirled Willy Wonka style into that luscious Krispy Kreme donut. I like the way the sugar entirely covers the crevices on top, I like the way they dissolve in my mouth, I love the strange flavors. Pumpkin, key lime, blueberry, chocolate, filled with crème.
Now James is telling me that there could be some kind of evil cream center in my donut world. Apparently they donated hugely to the Republican party, doctored their corporate books, and are bad for people's health. James even has pics of deadly donut detritus in front of his place.
I'm torn. Since they're in financial trouble, I think I should stock up on their stuff, in case my donut supply disappears. Kieran promises me that the Donut Factory is a good alternative, but I don't really know.
James' blog prompted me to research other things. Dell Computers hugely supported the Republican party, while Apple Computer was split, but in favor of Democrats. Go Apple! I figure being an Apple evangelist will get more Democrat funding, as their political contributions dwarf donut donations.

I agree. Donuts (of every brand and flavor) are EVIL. They're basically like heroin, only in a slightly more colorful package...
As for deciding on a donut shop based on its political affiliation... I would give up right now. In the battle between convenience and politics, convenience wins every time. So go ahead and buy the right-wing donuts... but if they make you fat, make sure you sue Krispy Kreme for every penny they can muster!

It's actually Doughnut Plant (http://www.doughnutplant.com/), on Grand Street. Best donut I've ever had (Valrhona Chocolate glaze....mmmmmmm)--and as you know, I love the Krispy Kremes. I'm selfishly glad you don't know about it, because...more for me!

P.S. When have I ever steered you wrong? (No smart-ass remarks about bad navigation, please.)
