Bombthrowers: Via Kyle Smith at National Review, I’ve learned that the Puerto Rican Day Parade on June 11 in New York City will be honoring unrepentant terrorist leader Oscar López Rivera, and that Coca-Cola is one of the sponsors of this parade.
[…] Other corporate sponsors, along with links to their contact info, are: AT&T, JetBlue, Corona (owned by Constellation Brands), the New York Yankees, the United Federation of Teachers, and the local affiliates of NBC (owned by Disney) and ABC (owned by Comcast).
López Rivera, a leader of the Puerto Rican Marxist terrorist group FALN, will be the parade’s first-ever “National Freedom Hero.”
MORE on the story.
Dumped Coke a long time ago. Can’t ever remember why. But they always seem to have a penchant for stepping into stupid shit like this thinking no one will notice.
I was working as a custodian engineer in a fifty five story building on South LaSalle. I was in the fortunate position of having basically zero seniority and subject to mandatory overtime , which meant, on two occasions of being ordered to search various alley niches and parts of the interior at $5.50/hr., thanks to Local 25 Theatrical and Office Building Maintance Engineers. Hell, this was Chicago; what’s some whack job dude from somewhere I’d barely heard of going to do. Easy money with no sense of who those maniacs were. No IOTWReport to clue me in.
If I knew then what I know now, I’d probably do it again.
I needed the job.
Ha, I was talking about the released scumbag bomber and his gang. Dam an edit button would be fun.
Any doctor will tell soda of any kind isn’t good for you. Coke is one of the worst. It’ll eat paint off a car. Unclog a water pipe and a ton of other stuff. Besides, it’s also made with HFCS. As a kid in the 50’s, I had my first bottle of coke at age 12. It was in a glass bottle and I thought it tasted great. Today’s Coke doesn’t compare.
