Imagine my disappointment when I discovered during last week's visit that they offer a breakfast promotion with the conservative paper The Washington Times. It was something like "Buy a breakfast combo, get a free copy of Washington's leading paper" type bullshit. I also noticed that The Washington Post was available a mere few steps away- but out in the cold in a lowly vending box.
Upon arriving back in New York, I did some research but I couldn't find the smoking gun that proves that Chick-fil-A donates to the Republican party. But how could they not if they are affiliating themselves with The Washington Times? All of which makes me realize that on next year's trip, the less principled amongst us- Youthlarge, Balgavy, and I will be munching on the tasty brilliance of Chick-fil-A while Apes will be left outside with his face pressed against the stinkin' Republican glass. I will feel guilty, but sometimes my taste buds are more important than my principles.

If this picture doesn't cry out "Red State" I don't know what does.

interesting. i'll have to do some research of my own on that, but i'm pretty sure what i will find. they are owned by Mormons which is why they're closed on Sundays so that's pretty much a flashing "We (Heart) the GOP) sign right there.
*sigh*, more progressive businesses need to carry waffle fries.
does balgavy know about the new breakfast menu? three little chicken patties served on honey-touched buns! it has balgavy written all over it, though i'm not sure if he likes honey.
The plot thickens... owned by Mormons and promoting the Moonies' newspaper. I smell the hand of Mel Gibson! (Eh. I thought that would be a fine catchphrase. Not so good. Too ambiguous.)
