While there is probably very little that we would otherwise agree on, this posting from DED SPACE (which is dedicated to Liberalism, Feminism, Animal Liberation, Social Mores, and the WTA) is so dead on that we bring it to you unedited. It’s great when we can drop our partisan bickering and all agree that one side looks particularly silly:

A good example of why mainstream conservatives make fun of liberals:

When Lance Armstrong started wearing that yellow Livestrong wristband to promote his foundation, I knew what was going to happen, and it did. There are now colored wristbands for everything–pink for breast cancer, blue for tolerance, and an assortment that includes everything from a Jesus Loves Me wristband to wristbands for hope, peace, and harmony.

What Do I Know has found the wristband to beat all wristbands, however. It turns out that the anti-poverty wristbands made for the Make Poverty History campaign are made in Chinese factories in conditions that violate both Chinese law and the Ethical Trading Initiative. In other words, sweatshops.

Doubtless, many other wristbands are made in similar conditions.

We’d add that it must give the Chinese factory workers great pride knowing that despite their horrible working conditions they are making little pieces of rubber that make wealthy American liberals half a world away feel good about themselves vis-a-vis the fight against poverty.
