How unreal American can you get?
That's just the thing, though -- no Starbucks either, practically! It's like they're into small businesses and local communities and crazy traitorous talk like that!
I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Thrive to spite them
Actually Vermont does have a Wal Mart, but I don't think there are very many.

Close call then, if they didn't have any then we'd have division by zero making Vermont a singularity in the fabric of American politics. It could suck all of New England down into a hole of liberal elitism that not even the photons of right wing radio could escape.

I believe there are two in the whole state. Or, at least that was the stat when I was teaching at Bennington. Bennington being one of the towns that caved.
ETA: There are apparently only 4 Starbucks: 3 in Burlington, and 1 in nearby Williston, aka the home of the other Wal-Mart.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I'm planning to vote on my way home from work tomorrow. My voting site is around the corner from my home. With luck, I'll beat the crowds.

“Not dead yet!”
so sad about Obama's grandmother. I was really hoping she'd make it through tomorrow. At least he got to see her last week.
And how sad and cynical am I that my first thought was "Damn, I'm glad that he got to see her," followed almost immediately by "Wonder how the Republicans are going to try to spin this as some nefarious plot to win sympathy votes?"

I think on this at least the Republicans will show respect. What else is there to do?

The area I live in is the Provo/Orem area. Orem is the more liberal "we'll let big box stores in" area, and there are two Starbucks, though one is in the Barnes & Noble. One is actually free standing. There is, however, a thriving indy coffee place in the heart of Provo.

My first thought was the same as yours, followed closely by "That can only help him."
