more on donuts and politics. Moron. Donuts. Politics.

This is old now, and I don't just mean old fashioned, though it is an old fashioned attack on any liberal who has well-heeled supporters to imply that they don't "get" the struggles of "working people."
On Hillary Clinton and donuts, this UK reporter/columnist Gerard Baker writes,
"Mrs Clinton is the candidate of what might be called Dunkin' Donut Democrats. They do not have money to waste on multiple-hyphenated coffee drinks - double-top, no-foam, non-fat lattes and the like. Not for them the bran muffins or the biscotti. They are the 75-cent coffee and doughnut crowd. For them caffeine choice doesn't correlate with their values but simply represents a means of keeping them going through their challenging day." (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnists/gerard_baker/article3330288.ece)

But Obama supporters "are the people for whom Starbucks, with its $5 cups of coffee and fancy bakeries, is not just a consumer choice but a lifestyle. They not only have the money. They share the values."
OK: nothing at Star* is actually $5. and nothing at Dunkin but _one_ donut is .75 (the coffee is well over that).
I don't care any more. But this post is at least about donuts.
