		As you probably recall, the purge list was one of several methods allegedly used by baby Bush and the dragon lady (you know who I mean) to depress African-American turnout in 2000.
		The list turned out to be just chock full of voters who had either never been felons, or who had had their voting rights restored in other states.
		This is the very same list, mind you, that the Bush administration (Florida branch) had been promoting as squeaky clean - right up until it was released and the mysterious law-abiding zeal of the state's Hispanic population was discovered.

	Coca-Cola
		Coke's major rival is Pepsi, which began as its imitator in the early 20th century.
		Coca-Cola was banned from import in India in 1970 as a result of the corporation's refusal to release the list of its ingredients.
		However, the majority of Coca-Cola intended for Palestine is produced in a bottling facility in Ramallah, which employs mostly Palestinians, and so Mecca-Cola is regarded by some as more likely to hurt than help the Palestinian cause, even if the rumors about Coke's support of Israel were true.

	Arch Deluxe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It failed to catch on and is seen as one of the most expensive flops of all time, on the scale of New Coke.
		This line of indirect rebel advertising was very similar to The Coca-Cola Company's marketing for OK Soda two years before, which was also a flop.
		When studies showed that their first set of advertising was unsuccessful, and was possibly even hurting their existing branding, they switched to a more conventional McDonalds style commercial, featuring Ronald McDonald doing adult-activities, such as playing golf.

	John Kerry's Waffles - If you don't like the Democratic nominee's views, just wait a week. By Michael Grunwald (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
		This list doesn't include quickly withdrawn gaffes, such as Kerry's recent suggestion (retracted after an uproar from Jewish groups) that he might make James Baker or Jimmy Carter his Middle East envoy.
		And it doesn't include the inevitable fund-raising hypocrisies that accompany all modern campaigns, such as his donations from some of the "Benedict Arnold" companies he routinely rips on the trail, or his bundling of contributions from special interests despite his high-minded rejection of PAC money.
		Even so, the list is long, and it isn't all-inclusive.
