A Fifth Don't Come for Free

I'm feeling a bit more inconsolable today than I usually do...

Some people and organizations are calling on Americans to participate in Not One Damn Dime! Day-- a consumer boycott for today, the day Bush will be sworn in for his second term as president. Some are even are boycotting their jobs, in the hopes of throwing a wrench in the cogs of all things economic. (This wouldn't work for everyone. We don't all work at for-profits...)

I'm torn about this because on the one hand it seems all symbollically sound and a great gesture. On the other hand, I need a drink today and as we all know, this costs money.

Also, can I shop at the mom-and-pop bodega whose owners voted blue?
