“Daily Ramblings” Name Change

It’s now Teasing Fat Penguins.  I couldn’t resist, I love it so.

Idiot of the Day - Ford Motor Company

The antigay American Family Association claimed a cultural victory on Thursday and called off its threatened boycott of Ford Motor Co. On Friday, Ford spokesman Mike Moran confirmed to Advocate.com that the company will stop advertising its Jaguar and Land Rover brands in gay publications but insisted it was strictly a business decision.  Why oh why do companies give in to these social terrorists?  The Ford Co. isn’t strong enough to turn away from freaky religious blackmail?  Really, who on earth listens to the AFA?  Donald Wildmon is a crazy crackpot.  It’s like giving in to a more organized Fred Phelps.  It ought to embarrass a company like Ford to enter into any sort of agreement with the AFA.  Sickening, just sickening.

It gets worse - Ford gets dumber - http://americablog.blogspot.com/2005/12/ford-issues-public-statement-about.html

To see how a company with a backbone deals with these nuts, check out the Wells Fargo versus Focus on the Family story.

The bank says “we direct our giving to areas that we believe are important to the future of our nation’s vitality and success: community development, education and human services.” - Wells Fargo

  It makes me happy to be a Wells Fargo customer.  You know, except for the missing money thing, which was fixed the same day.

The Daily Factoid - Koala Fingerprints

Koalas have fingerprints, and they look like human fingerprints.  Freaky…but true.
