This is where the flash mob phenomenon should rightfully end — with a group of cute and cuddly senior citizens from a local retirement home in Lawrence, Kansas, dancing to Glee’s version of “Last Christmas” in Target. How this video has 61 “dislikes” on YouTube is befuddling; there’s literally nothing not to like about it (unless we find out in a week that it’s just a viral campaign for Target).

Retailers Target and Best Buy are under fire from gay rights groups, who are organizing boycotts over both companies’ corporate donations to support Republican Minnesota gubernatorial candidate Tom Emmer, who they say is virulently anti-gay. The donations of $150,000 and $100,000, respectively, were made possible by the Supreme Court’s hotly debated Citizens United decision, which allows unlimited political donations by corporations. This confrontation will test the limiting effect of the free market on Citizens United.
