Just Saying.....

More of the same with unsurprising developments on last week's headlines.
--Mitt Romney's horrible case of foot-in-mouth continues to cause him trouble abroad in Israel where he managed to make all sorts of controversial statements and get the capital of Israel wrong.
--Another athlete was booted out of Olympic competition for racist tweets.
--And the always sage Sarah Palin chimed in on another hot topic tweeting a picture of her and the hubby enjoying some Chick-fil-A.
It would have been a good week for me to have posed as a psychic-I would have totally nailed all these predictions.

The Muppets vs. Chick-Fil-A

While, conservative TV and radio host Mike Huckabee is trying to create National Eat at Chick-Fil-A Day for this Wednesday in response to many urgings to boycott Chick-fil-A after Dan Cathy responded to the questions about the company's support for the traditional family saying, "Well, guilty as charged," The Muppets and The Jim Henson Company just say no to Chick-Fil-A. They posted this on facebook:

A noble but not surprising stance from the company that brought us "roommates" Bert and Ernie.
Also, I'm sure chicken-loving Gonzo is always in favor of eating less chickn'.

Gonzo loves his chicken, but not Chick-Fil-A.

Yay Gay! Boo Chick-Fil-A!

Be cocky and wear your uniform to pride! But stay out of Chick-Fil-A.

Well, it's a good day to be gay, unless you are craving some Chick-Fil-A.
The U.S. Department of Defense has authorized all service members to wear their uniforms during Pride parades-the San Diego one is this weekend. San Diego LGBT Pride Executive Director Dwayne Crenshaw issued a statement saying "Today is a great day of Pride! San Diego Pride is honored to have the privilege of celebrating our country and our servicemembers with dignity and respect. The fight for equality is not over and it is not easy, but this is a giant leap in the right direction.”

And he is right, the fight for equality continues to be a constant tug of war.
Another nugget in the news this week, the president of Chick-Fil-A, Dan Cathy, cracked the egg of knowledge on our heads that his company was "guilty as charged" in response to a question about whether it opposed the concept of same-sex marriage. The bible thumper also clucked about his poultry enterprise, "We are very much supportive of the family—the biblical definition of the family unit."
All fine, feathered friends will show their pride and eat less chickn'.
