A Shopping Spree of Irony

A new entry to the blogosphere, The Grille, comments on the inherent contradictions among those of a particular political stripe:

"On my trip to Whole Foods this evening, I was struck by the cars in the parking lot. While I wasn't surprised by the economic class of the Silicone Valley clientelle at this high end but ultra PC grocer, I wonder if any of the patrons in the store thought it was ironic driving a Porsche to buy their food (the 911 Turbo gets 13 MPG in the city) while voting democrat and complaining about drilling in Alaska. Of course the answer to this is obvious but still..."

Of course, he doesn't know for a fact that a majority of shoppers at Whole Foods vote a certain way. For all he knows, they could mostly be die-hard Republicans who don't mind wearing Birkenstocks, and shopping where they sell the local gay/lesbian community rag, or advertise for alternative religions and Greenpeace and whatnot.
