Ray of Controversy

Looking at current affairs and the "War on Terror", there seems to be something inherently missing these days.  Spies.  I mean the cold war had intrigue, Bond villains, the works, but gone seem to be the days of the menacing Rosenbergs or the Nazi spy rifling through JFK's boudoir after he rifled through her.  As such we have become lazy in identifying these insurgents, only picking up on the overly confident agents like Barack Hussein Obama who don't even take the time to come up with an alias.  Lucky for us, stalwart writers like Michelle Malkin are still out there.

Malkin, pictured here emulating Christ,




recently brought attention to the interminably peppy Rachel Ray wearing a keffiyeh in a new Dunkin' Donuts commercial.  The keffiyeh, worn by other infamous politicos like Mary Kate Olson and this random douchebag,

        

is a traditional scarf worn in the Arab world by infamous extremists like Yasser Arafat as a symbol of their affinities as well as by random Arabs to keep the sun off of them. But in Ray's case Malkin says it best herself: "I’m hoping her hate couture choice was spurred more by ignorance than ideology."




Now maybe we should let Ray off the hook on pure ignorance that she was just handed something to wear, especially when you factor in that in fact it was not a keffiyeh but rather just a black and white scarf.  And sure we could just chalk it up to ridiculous McCarthy-like Xenophobia.  Except for the added involvement of Dunkin Donuts.  See, Dunkin' has been the hot bed for extremist sympathizing for years from their Hitler impersonators:




to their "Man in the Yellow Hat" contingent.


And now Ray.  In hindsight, we really should have known Muslim extremist would be in bed with a company centered around that bastion of Islamic culture: over-sweetened coffee and high fat snack food.

Sadly in her article, Malkin attacks Ray but then steps back to simply hype another donut shop.  "They specialize in hot, hand-dipped, made-to-order donuts that are pure heaven. Yummmmmm."  It seems even our truest watchdogs can be bought off.    The ad has been pulled since Malkin's article.  But could it be too late? Once extremists get to Rachel Ray, who knows who could be next? Think of all the vaguely noticeable celebrities that could be talked into doing subversive Dunkin Donuts commercials? We could be awash in burkas and cardamom krullers by weeks end, care of some seemingly harmless Kelly Ripa spot.  So stand strong in the face of this confectionery wolf in fat kid's clothing. Else, the world shall indeed not end with a bang, but rather the whimper of a stomach ache and the deafening silence of a food coma.
