Will Buchanan found a creative way to promote the Free State Project. He signed up to become a participant and then began walking from Oregon to New Hampshire. He’s due to cross the New Hampshire state line around 11am this Sunday. Read about Will and The Walk for Liberty on his website, where you can subscribe to his daily videos or make a contribution toward his costs.

Why no comic today? Today is the Day Without a Gay. Gay people are encouraged to skip work and do some sort of volunteer work instead. It’s a boycott of sorts meant to raise awareness.

Merry Chr… I mean happy holidays, everyone!
I’d like to thank Puke for inspiring this comic with a comment he off-handedly made in the Free Talk Live AMP chat room.

My timing sucks but I’ve been wanting to make a comic for some time about the federal government’s reverse Midas touch as it applies to disaster relief in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. I’m not sure when a good time will present itself so here it is.
I discovered this wonderful corporate outreach by Starbuck’s on World AIDS Day through Facebook. It appears that Starbuck’s is going to oh-so-generously donate 5 cents when you buy one of their beverages. Well, not any beverage of course. It has to be one of three holiday specials, so they won’t be sacrificing 5 cents on their less exorbitantly-priced beverages. It’s not just people dying in Africa depending on them, after all. They have shareholders dependent on them as well.
I know that reads sarcastically, but I’m actually one of the last people to complain about someone making money by providing a product people like. In fact, kudos to them for some brilliant marketing. That’s what it is, after all. I’d be willing to bet they’ll spend more on the ad campaign promoting their “charity” than they will actually end up donating. Let’s be real. Starbuck’s is not a charity. It’s a business.
