Sad Laura

SlimFast announced Tuesday that it is no longer advertising on Laura Ingraham's show, more than a week after companies began cutting ties with the Fox News host.

[...]

During the program Monday night, Ingraham tore into what she called "Stalinist" efforts on behalf of liberal activists to "intimidate those who disagree with them."

[...]

SlimFast, the 21st company to drop its ads on the show, made its announcement a day after Ingraham's first episode back from a planned vacation.

[...]

"Let's face it: expressing views that just five or 10 years ago were considered mainstream can now get you fired," Ingraham said. "It can cause you to lose a promotion. Or you can be branded a 'hater,' or, yes, you can get boycotted."

And, apparently, you can also get boycotted by doubling down on your insanity.

And while we're on the subject of gun protests...

A Bank of America executive announced Tuesday that the bank will stop lending money to companies that manufacture "military-style" rifles that are available for civilians to purchase.

Anne Finucane, Bank of America’s vice chair, told Bloomberg TV that the bank doesn’t want to “underwrite or finance military-style firearms” and has told a number of gun manufacturers that it will no longer do business with them.

The bank has lended to the gun makers Vista Outdoor, Remington and Sturm Ruger, CNBC reported.

But when did the present perfect of lend change from has loaned to has lended?

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

UPDATE:

Oops...
