34. Reminds me of the freak-out conservatives had over a story about Walmart selling Halal food

What was funny was in reading those comments how quickly conservatives turned on Wal-Mart for doing something that they claimed they supported: filling a free-market need.

Also funny how this is the one thing that will get conservatives to bash Wal-Mart. Not unfair labor practices or anything like that.
