For those who bolted: You might wanna reconsider Bolthouse
You might remember that back in the summer, the news that William Bolthouse donated $100,000 to California's marriage ban. You might also remember that this donation led to an intense period of speculation regarding the role (or lack thereof) that Mr. Bolthouse now plays in the juice company he founded, Bolthouse Farms. And you might be aware that the donation led some gay folks to boycott the juice company altogether, and most every gay who was aware of the matter to at least express hesitancy before choosing that particular brand.
Well folks, it seems that we are all now free to pick up a bottle of Bolthouse-brabded carrot juice without hesitancy. That's because the company has taken considerable strides to distance itself from both the founding Bolthouse and the unfounded bias:

Hey great, I always liked their juice! :-P (I never really banned it, but I can say it's been FOREVER since I've had it!)
