The Democrats could use an army of Phillip Burtons this year. Forget taxes, recession and the Persian Gulf: the secret obsession of all 435 members of the U.S. House of Representatives is reapportionment and redistricting. Though little understood by the voters, this once-in-a-decade process is recognized by political pros as a crucial strategic battle between the parties, second only to presidential elections in shaping the future of national politics.

But when you deconstruct the McDonald’s-bashing, it turns out to be as much about the critics as it is about the company.
