Friday is a good day because the freak show is free.
I wish I could be a fly on the wall (well, actually, two flies on two walls) right now wherever Mayors Emmannuel and Menino are as they watch, or are being told of, today’s events at Chick-fil-A restaurants around the country. It would be a MasterCard “Priceless” moment to capture their looks and feelings.
They plan to “protest” by kissing inside the stores.
I doubt they mean a short polite greeting kiss in a socially acceptable public display of affection ...
When people attempt to ignore them, they will likely get loud, obnoxious and possibly even violent.
“We won one for HIM today! Praise GOD!!!”
So darn well said!
Amen!
IMHO
Please, in this heat, if you see someone who is elderly or disabled determined to walk a long way to get to the Chick-fil-A, please offer them a lift!
I know it’s a little unusual to offer strangers such a short hop, not something most people would think of, but there are lots of people who are very determined to get there.
I just found out a family friend in another city was having car problems and decided to walk about a mile to get there. She collapsed on the sidewalk and fortunately someone in her neighborhood saw her and offered her help. After getting her in the shade and giving her a cold drink, she refused an ambulance, and asked for a cab to take her the rest of the way, to the Chick-fil-A.
Some people are stubborn. The other lady gave her a lift, and they both had lunch there. She’s okay.
It’s SOOOOOOOOOOOOO delicious!
IMHO
I earnestly pray that the republican representatives wake up to just what this really means! We are being peaceful and using our wallets ... for now. If they don’t pay attention and act accordingly, we will use our ballots next!
What would really be great is for Mr. Cathy to follow this up with something like “As you know, every day a portion of all profits goes to charity. But for Wednesday, Aug. 1, ALL of the profits from that day will be going back to local charities. Just a small expression of our thanks to the communities that have shown their support.”
Of course, Mr. Cathy is free to do as he chooses. But I think he would be the first to realize that this is not about him, or eaten mor chikin.
LOL! Get to go out to eat and show support for Christian values in one swoop!
This is why we were getting sundaes and brownies last night, and went there for a playdate / lunch last weekend.
As I’ve watched the reporting, videos and pictures throughout the day - I saw so many people of color in lines in many different towns.
I am gratified, and my faith is restored. It is good to have media stereotypes proved wrong.
Amazon doesn’t deserve our business. Go here instead:

For any that might be interested, Truett Cathy authored a little book that would make a very nice gift at around $10. I bought it for my Dad a few years ago and he thoroughly enjoyed it. There’s a link on this thread:
“It’s Better to Build Boys Than Mend Men”:
