Poor Michelle Malkin. Barely a month went by after declaring her break-up with Starbucks—after a 10-year relationship starting in Seattle—in favor of Dunkin' Donuts, before her new caffeine paramour ran afoul of her sensibilities. Equally culpable in this Foolish Fracas is some other website's post mistaking the time-honored, free-market practice of appropriating culture to turn a quick buck for the alleged mainstreaming of (a generic and varied regional) symbol used by some (in a particular subset of that region) in a violent context. In follow-up posts, Ms. Malkin has dubbed this the "Keffiyeh Kerfuffle." Such clever words given her inability to distinguish a cheap, tacky, paisley-print, fringed scarf from the real thing.
