Another Case of T.M.O.
I coined the term T.M.O. - too much outrage - back when Senator Kerry mentioned Mary Cheney, gay daughter of Dick and Lynn Cheney. Sure it was a gaffe, but not worth spending endless hours condemning.
I purposely avoided posting right away on Target's decision to part ways with the Salvation Army, to allow some time for it to settle in. I didn't want to go off half-cocked like Hugh Hewitt did. For three hours. Maybe three days. I decided this was another case of T.M.O., then went to read James Lileks' bleat on the subject (Thurs, 11/18), whom Hugh kept saying was wrong.
Lileks is right on this one, and he said it perfectly. Most important, James sets a good example for all of us, to make sure that if anything, the Salvation Army winds up with more of our money than they otherwise would have. 'Nuff said. Go read it.
