9 Eleven - Open 24/7
Welcome to the Wal-Martocracy.
The bloated pecksniffian Burkha-Mart of bottom-feeding American corporate gluttony.
Hey, isn't gluttony one of the seven deadly sins? Yeah, I think it is. But that won't discourage the self anointed high pontifices of Sam Walton's white Christian Nation retail whale. Nope. Onward Christian family values Babbittry. Onward slackjawed holyrollin' frivol-sheep and pious patriotic wowsers of the fabulous Philistinoi Wal-Mart Word. Wasting their oxygen wandering up and down the antiseptic avenues of a fucking mindless labor rights perverting consumer junkie Gehenna.
Behold a white horse:
Feel the patriotic "small business" Republican love?
Welcome to 9-Eleven and Bush-Mart's "New Bridge" to the 21st century.

Many thanks to reader "lea-p", commenting at NTodd's Dohiyi Mir blog, for pointing to Mark Morford's June 2003 SF-Gate op-ed titled "In A Wal-Mart Hell."
Read all of Morford's smote of the Wal-Mart beast here:
In A Wal-Mart Kind Of Hell; Censored magazines, banned music and pseudo-Christian fun at America's scariest retailer. Truely, if you have never read it, do so, you won't regret it.
And always read NTodd's regular column at Open Source Politics. Because OSP is one of the best blog shops on main street - and - NTP knows his inventory.
That is all. I'll be in the barn looking at dirty naked lady tractor calendars if anyone needs me.

Travel not with a ruthless man,
lest he weigh you down with calamity;
For he will go his own way straight,
and through his folly you will perish with him.
- Sirach, 8:1
Behold a white horse:
In a Washington Post article headlined 'Lobbyists Set Sights On Money-Making Opportunities in Iraq,' a partner at New Bridge Strategies, a company headed by Joe M. Allbaugh, President Bush's 2000 campaign manager and the former director of FEMA, said: "Getting the rights to distribute Procter & Gamble products would be a gold mine. One well-stocked 7-Eleven could knock out 30 Iraqi stores; a Wal-Mart could take over the country." Via Cursor.org Oct 2, 2003.

This is Wal-Mart. The glorious consumer mecca, the epic wonderland/wasteland of prefab landfill merch, not only the world's largest and most powerful retailer and the most aggressive snarling frightening happy-place marketer and quite possibly the most hideously overlit soul-draining monster empire you will ever know in your entire lifetime, but also the very multibillion-dollar pseudo-Christian kingdom that censors their offerings and refuses to sell certain music CDs and bans "risqué" beer-'n'-babes mags like Maxim and FHM and Stuff, because, you know, pretty girls are evil.
