Russell Weiner : This Rockstar Hits Sour Notes

'He is a "chip off the old block" and donates significantly (using his Rockstar profits) to many many many far right causes.'

It's always amazing what you can discover, reading the celebrity real estate pages in the Los Angeles Times.

Like the fact that Russell Weiner, the creator of "Rockstar" energy drink, is the son of Michael Weiner - better known as right wing hate radio propagandist "Michael Savage." Russell, proving that the seed doesnt fall far from the bush, tried to run as a right-wing Republican for a California Assembly seat (financed with Rockstar) eight years ago and lost. But he is a "chip off the old block" and donates significantly (using his Rockstar profits) to many many many far right causes.

Mmmmm.... shade-grown/fair-trade Central American coffee, grown as a product of the project by the Nature Conservancy to help stop the deforestation of the Cloud Forest by giving the people who live in the forest an economic reason to believe in conservation just tastes better and better.

Please pass this far and wide through the left - kicking fascists in their billfolds is the best place (other than planting a .45 caliber hole in the "third eye," which is illegal, not to mention a felony, and you never heard me advocate such a thing).

Mr. Weiner already had to drop the overpriced sale price of his home overlooking Sunset Boulevard 50% in order to sell it (taking a $2 million hit on what he paid two years ago). Perhaps we can help his balance sheet in other ways??
