Red-faced or Buy Blue?

Check out the April 2005 issue of Fast Company. On page 38 they have a comparison of different company's relative political donations (based on pacs, corporate executive and spouse's donations). For instance, Starbucks is a Democratic company; Dunkin Donuts is Republican. Bed Bath & Beyond is Democratic, JC Penney is Republican. I blush to discover that the brand of makeup I'm wearing, Cover Girl, is a more Republican company than competitor Revlon. Fortunately it can take me years to go through one tube of lipstick (I put it on in the morning, if it wears off it wears off) so I won't have to make any tough decisions immediately.
