I recently heard the new Eagles album was pretty good, and so I went and looked on iTunes for it. Nothing. A day or so later, I popped into a small record store downtown to ask about it, and the gentleman from the sixties running that place said, yes, it was in fact out, but that you could only buy it at WalMart. Walmart or nothing. Well, you learn something new every day. So I went out to WalMart — striking a blow, as I like to do, for economic liberty and market freedoms — and bought the album, which was well worth it. Good stuff — I particularly enjoy their tight harmonies.
But of course, being an Eagles album, it had some typical green-lament stuff on it, which was okay, by which I mean the harmonies made up for the economic illiteracy. But I thoroughly enjoyed the fact that this green message is available exclusively at WalMart, and every hippie alternative retailer in America is out in the cold. I like it when hypocrisy on the left is as large as Madonna’s ego, or her carbon footprint, take your pick.
