If this story is any indication, we may not have much longer to wait:
PURITANISM, wrote H.L. Mencken, is “the haunting fear that someone, somewhere may be happy.” Half a century later, the prissiest Americans are haunted by a different fear: that they may buy cheese made by someone whose opinions they do not share. To help people avoid this calamity, a new app called BuyPartisan reveals whether any given product is made by Republicans or Democrats.
Using an iPhone’s camera, it scans the barcode and reports back on the ideology (as measured by donations to political parties) of the directors and staff of the company in question. Obsessive partisans can then demonstrate their commitment to diversity by boycotting firms with which they disagree. “We vote every day with our wallets,” trills an advert.

The allies will have a poor knock-off called “Every Square Inch (of your wallet)”

Say…reading this conjures up an idea about elections. Do away with them. Instead, once enough people in the country have these phones with the app’s, send them text messages asking them to decide on various issues confronting the nation. Then, based on “scientific” random sampling, come up with the proper resolution. In other words, a “virtual president” (not that the one we have now isn’t virtual enough in a different kind of way).
PS: I hope the callers aren’t reading this – they may try to insist on a “virtual pope.”

The Amish around here put up their “no sales on Sunday” to let the tourists know that they are real Amish. What the tourists don’t know is that they bought those peach pies this morning at the Shady Maple grocery store.
