Bezos, Besando Republican Culo

For his weekly column at Moby, Dennis Loy Johnson looked at corporate political donations from online booksellers. The results may surprise you.

[W]ondering whether to buy books online at Amazon.com or at BarnesandNoble.com? Does it make the decision easier for you to know that 98% of B&N's corporate political donations went to the Democrats, while 61% of Amazon's went to the Republicans?

Or maybe you'll be encouraged to get offline entirely and shop at an old–fashioned brick and mortar store upon hearing the news that Borders gave 100% or its donations to Democrats?

For other eye-opening revelations, go to buyblue.org.
