Of bake sales and eBays
Paraphrasing a bumper-sticker commonplace: "What if education had all the funding it needed, and the Army had to hold a bake sale?" A couple of weeks ago, joshyelon at DKos ruminated on the possible media-stunt value of the Democratic Party's holding a bake sale for the Army. And in today's San Francisco Chronicle, we learn that some individuals who are on their way to Iraq have been doing just that. (Actually, it's an eBay sale rather than a bake sale. This is the 21st c, dontcha know.)
The Army is indignant. We don't need no stinkin charity, they say. Check.
