Oh sure, Walgreens would be the first place I would think of to go and buy Rolling Stone magazine

Ace of Spades reports that several major drugstores have announced that they will not sell the Rolling Stone Sexiest Terrorist Alive issue, featuring Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the Boston Marathon bomber. Who are they kidding? Were they really having throngs of people going to Walgreens to buy Rolling Stone?

It reminds me of something I heard Saul Alinsky say in the 1960s: If you are going to boycott something, make it maraschino cherries, something that few people were planning to buy anyway. Then you'll have a successful boycott! Definitely don't plan a boycott of Oreos or Twinkies!
