This is the iced coffee of the revolution.

Thank God we have Michelle Malkin, the same person who wrote a book called “In Defense of Internment” about Japanese Americans in World War Two, to tell us that Rachel Ray is killing America.

Dunkin’ Donuts pulled a television spot featuring talk show host and Food Network personality Rachael Ray this weekend after a Fox news commentator associated it with terrorists.

In the ad, Ray is wearing a scarf that Michelle Malkin said in her nationally syndicated column resembled a kiffiyeh, Middle Eastern garb that is “popularized by Yasser Arafat and a regular adornment of Muslim terrorists appearing in beheading and hostage-taking videos.”

Dunkin’s Senior Vice President for Communications Margie Myers issued a statement saying the scarf “was selected by a stylist for the advertising shoot. Absolutely no symbolism was intended.

“However, as of this past weekend, we are no longer using the online ad because the possibility of misperception detracted from its original intention to promote our iced coffee.”

In her column, Malkin also noted that it could appear at times that actor Colin Farrell, rapper Kanye West and Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean have been photographed in similar scarves that were “distinctive hate couture.”

Dammit, Michelle. Leave the girl alone so she can make a damn 30 Minute Meal, squeak a few laughs, say the word “sammie” a million times and call it a day.

If I weren’t already full of shame on a daily basis, I suppose this pretty funny clip would help me along my way.

To answer your question — no, I’ve learned nothing.

Lost concludes its season tomorrow night, ending a pretty darn good season. It’s surprising, really, that the show would begin this upward trajectory at this point in the game when any series, much less a serialized one, would begin to seem a little long in the tooth.

Like any Lost finale, we know that big things are a-coming. It was just last year that my beloved Charlie kicked the bucket. And, as Daniel Dae-Kim says in this somewhat revealing LA Times article, there “will be casualties.”

For the record, my money is on at least one of the “rescue team.” Probably Red-Headed British Archaeologist Babe (so help me God, I can never remember character names) because the Lost team kind of has a thing for killing off its female cast members disproportionately. And, if they’re going to kill of a regular, I’m seriously going to go with Juliet. I’ve read that this finale will be a tear-jerker and I think killing Juliet would get the waterworks going. After all, in a series all about redemption arcs, Juliet has come full circle from being an Other to being a Valued Team Member of Oceanic 815. And it would also make Jack’s choice to go ahead and marry Kate a little less muddled.

Or, it could be Sawyer. But we’ll see. I’m basically just trying to list every character so I can say ‘I told you so’ on Friday morning.

Regardless, the Times article indicates that there will be another “game-changer” that will affect the way you watch future episodes. What could that be?

A few guesses:

• An original Oceanic survivor will have been an employee of Charles Widmore all along.
• Locke successfully moves the island, but at a price/with unexpected consequences.
• Castaways hijack the boat and set off into uncharted waters.
• Something with time travel that won’t make sense.

I’ve got my fingers crossed that Locke will die and Jin will survive, but I’m guessing both of those are long shots. Anybody else have some predictions?
