So I found this website that attempts to track the political contributions of executives associated with various companies.

The problem is, while the website has made me feel better about patronizing Starbucks and Barnes and Noble, it has opened up a whole new can of worms.

Can I really live without my Krispy Kremes? And, assuming the first Domino’s entry is a mistake (as it surely must be), how do I satiate my pizza cravings?

Even thornier: is it better to drive to Shoppers Food Warehouse, which receives only a “neutral” rating, or to walk to Harris Teeter? (While Harris Teeter isn’t listed in the database, it’s a subsidiary of Ruddick Corporation, whose CEO, Thomas W. Dickson, has given significant amounts to national and North Carolina state Republicans.)

Sigh.
