Shop! In the Name of Love...

Do you feel like you're shopping for love in all the wrong places? Have red politics rendered Valentine's Day obsolete for you in the face of endless corporate meddling? Don't worry! BuyBlue.org has planned a totally titillating alternative to your annual Valentine's Day rut. This year, your dilemma ends, but only if you support the Democratic donkey (aka ass), because truly, nobody ever enjoyed a good piece of elephant.

Start with a thoughtful gift. Hershey's chocolates or Whitman's Samplers are standard (5% and 0% ratings)[the higher the % the bluer the company], as is Victoria's Secret underwear (16%), but they're no fun when the cash you spend supports neocon cupids eternally dancing in your head. Instead, opt for the 100% blue hue of sweet sugar plum fairies when you buy Ghirardelli, Fiaretto, or Caffarel chocolates. Don't be afraid to shun Victoria's airbrushed secret for the more romantic, real or bold lingerie styles of Gap Body (78%), American Apparel (100%), and Frederick's of Hollywood (100%). Further, indulge yourselves with progressive jewelry (Signet Group 94%) and liberally consumed (and produced!) alcohol (i.e. Gallo Winery 92%; E&J 92%, Brown-Forman 57%). These are the things that make true love thrive, with very little outsourcing!
