This year's Iowa City's Pride Fest has an unlikely new sponsor: Chick-fil-A. According to local news station KCRG Adam Donius, owner of Chick-fil-A's Coralville, Iowa location, has agreed to donate 200 sandwiches and sides for Iowa City's annual pride picnic, which is being held on June 19. This comes as a surprise to many who have labeled the fast-food spot as against gay rights. Organizers of the event explained that the idea of bringing the community together is what appealed to Donius and resulted in the food donation.
This news comes after the popular fast-food chain was banned from Johns Hopkins University due to antigay comments made by President Dan Cathy in 2012. Cathy has been very outspoken on his opinion that gay families are not "biblical families," even taking it to social media with his anti-homosexual tweet calling the DOMA ruling a "sad day for our nation."
Well that is good news. Nice to see that not all Chick-fil-A owners are homophobic assholes.
Still one has to wonder if incidents like this might convince some people to make different wardrobe choices.
Good God, she looks totally out of it in that picture, doesn't she? Had a few too many Red Bulls and adderal, Sarah?
ReplyDeleteIf I was a Chick-fil-A franchisee, I would do everything in my power to offend and deter AIP PALIN from supporting the company. I mean, my gawd, look at that walking promotion seated there! Its like having the crypt keeper wearing your logo! Not very appealing or appetizing.
ReplyDeletePlease don't demean the Crypt Keeper. She/he was a better person than Palin will ever be.
DeleteI respectfully defer to you and your firsthand knowledge!
DeleteShe needs one that says:
ReplyDelete"I dig Josh Duggar"
FUUUUUUCK YOUUUUUUUUUU SARAH!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like the fake boobs were brought out for Chik-Fil-A
ReplyDelete12:03 vacant eyes ,dirty hair and a filthy mouth to go with it.
ReplyDeleteThe lip gloss smeared all over her upper lip does not help her in her quest to be a walking advertisement.
ReplyDeleteShe looks like the "before" pic for a shampoo ad.
DeleteThat's not lip gloss, it's Preparation H mixed with a dab of herpecin. Old beauty pageant trick.
DeleteCorrection Gryphen, the owner of CFA is a homophobic asshole, one franchise owner isn't.
ReplyDeleteSarah Palin is a friggin' mess - especially in the above photo!
ReplyDeleteHer family members must be so embarrassed having her in their midst! And, we all know - they know - she is nothing more than a white-trash joke to the majority of Americans!
It's waaaaay past time that she should be put away - under lock and key. Hey Palins - family members - make your move!
Sarah obviously needs mental health care and to be committed!
Wardrobe choices? $carah? She just grabs the closest item that looks relatively clean, and goes with that. When has she EVER (since the campaign dressed her) looked "put-together"?? Reminds me of Second Hand Rose.
ReplyDeleteO/T -- Bristol has up on her twitter account a picture that proclaims that the "Constitution is not an Atheist Manifesto."
ReplyDeleteSure, ok, Bristol. But the Constitution isn't a Christian or religious manifesto, either.
Please read a history of the writing of the Constitution, or simply read the Bill of Rights: "Congress shall pass no law establishing a religion...." That means that all religions are welcome, and no religion is endorsed or supported by the government. You wrongly believe that means it's "atheist."
All it does is remove religion from government, as it has proudly for 225 years.
You can stamp you feet and pretend that Jesus created the United States, but it's false to believe that.
/s/ A real Christian Constitutionalist
Bristol Palin has lost count of how many bastard babies she has birthed.
DeleteThat's Nancy French's bullshit. Bristol barely (if at all) got out of high school. She doesn't know what a manifesto is.
DeleteDoes anybody really believe that Bristol freakin' Palin cares at all about atheism or even the constitution?
DeleteThe Palins must think (know?) how stupid their followers are.
I'm a real Liberal Atheist and can tell you to rest assured Bristol doesn't know what the constitution of the United States is, akin to her mother asking publicly what, exactly, does a VP do from day to day....... While asking people to vote for the ticket and the job of....... drum rolll........ Vice President.
DeleteWe Republicans Lost On Gay Rights. That’s A Good Thing.
ReplyDeleteBig business is bringing the GOP into the future.

DeleteQuestion, IMer's: Please help me if you can:
DeleteBoth of the Southern schools my daughters were accepted to/attend have Chick-Fil-A on their campuses, and they accept student meal plan vouchers, which I think also means they accept federal and state taxpayer money because of scholarships.
The administration is, of course, conservative at one particular school while the professors are liberal at both schools, and the students are overwhelmingly liberal at both schools. We are in Florida, so it's a mixed population. How do I go about (as a parent and taxpayer to the state) getting Chick-Fil-A kicked off campus for homophobic business practices? Thanks for any advice on this.
I would love to see them gone from our state schools. If they want to pander to Christian conservatives, let them sell ONLY to Christian conservatives and get off our college campuses.
ACLU? If nothing else, they should point you in the right direction.
DeleteAnon 4:30. You'll have to wait until one of those ChikFilAs discriminates against a student. I.E. refuses to serve them because they're gay, minority, unwed pregnant or some other such bullshit. When they discriminate, then you can sue. Other than that, you can't. Because they are a franchise so that particular ChikFilA might be independent from NastyCathy.
DeleteShe sure looks like Caityln Jenner!
ReplyDeleteWow, how do you type with your eyes closed?
DeleteSarah's a sissy, she doesn't have what it takes to go through that much pain, hence the Belmont Boobies and ZsaZsa line of polyester wigs (vintage, of course)
Hahaha, Palin,you are a hoot.You just never get it.You bombastic , superfluous,rat!(no offense rats).
ReplyDeleteTheir food is still very unhealthy and I can't think of a gay (or straight) person that I know who appreciates cooking and fine cuisine that would even deign to put one of their grease ball white bread failures in their mouth! Their food sucks and tastes like the rancid grease it is cooked in. Not for anyone who has a semblance of culinary taste; I wouldn't even feed it to my worst enemy!
ReplyDeleteAmen, all fast food sucks. We do our best to eat clean, fresh diets. But every once in awhile I just gotta get Chipolte's or Panera's food or Wendy's Chili.

DeleteSarah looks like she combed her hair with a greasy chicken wing.
ReplyDeleteThe shirt will continue to express Mrs Palin's bigotry, she doesn't need a new shirt.
ReplyDeleteShe needs a new head.
And a bath.
You know what? I don't care. Chick-fil-A is trying to have it both ways. They milk their anti-gay srtance for all its worth - becoming the darlings of the far, far right and getting those fascist dollars - and then they change tack and expect credit from LGBT for lowering their anti-gay contributions.
ReplyDeleteNo. I will not be going there.
This is my favorite photo of Mrs. Palin and I am ashamed to say I find it somewhat titillating inasmuch as it reminds me of my misspent youth, my glory days of lipstick, powder and paint, is you is or is you ain't. I was okay with pretty much anything, false teeth, false hair, falsies and all the rest.
ReplyDeleteHahaha my grannie used to say "a little powder a little paint makes a woman what she ain't" Thanks for the reminder.
DeleteThey can fart rainbows out their butts but I still won't eat there.
ReplyDeleteThis is sad, really. I'm not driving all the way there to support this franchisee, Sorry, but the fish stinks from the head down. Cathy will never see one red penny of mine in his Chritofascist Bigoted "Closed on Sundays" pocket. A tiger never changes it's stripes.
ReplyDeleteI dare Cathy or the company to come out publicly and apologize for their anti gay policies and practices of the past. Make a huge donation to help gay causes.
Then I still won't support them because they gave Sarah a free shirt.
The tongue has no bones, but it can break bones.
What Sarah Palin gets wrong when comparing Lena Dunham and Josh Duggar
ReplyDelete...The latest person to come out in favor of Josh and the Duggars is Sarah Palin, the former governor of Alaska and one-time Republican vice presidential nominee. Palin came out swinging on Thursday, throwing around words like "pedophile" and "sexual predator," but those words weren't for Josh Duggar — they were for Girls creator and star Lena Dunham.

Sarah Palin’s Bitter Cry For Attention
ReplyDeleteBy now you may have read Sarah Palin's florid attack on Lena Dunham. She and her daughter Bristol both attempted the same pathetic slight-of-hand to distract from the ongoing grotesquerie of the Duggar family values. Go take a look, if you have time and can get past the all caps intro. The caps-lock key is Palin family's rhetorical open-carry, deployed in the mistaken belief that it makes the bearer seem more formidable, when really it underscores the weakness of the case.
Sarah's tirade in particular radiates schoolyard smugness, the smirk of a lunchroom bully who think she's scored a sick burn on the class nerd—she doesn't just think she's made a devastating point, she's already figuratively turning around to accept high-fives from her pals.
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/06/06/sarah-palin-s-bitter-cry-for-attention.html
...Somehow, in her tiny brain tainted by too much alcohol and moose jerky, Palin equates an adolescent fondling his sleeping sisters with a prepubescent girl checking out her younger sister's hoo-hah.
DeleteOh, Bristol Palin chimed in, too, but who the fuck cares.
Bonus fun with Alaskan dimwits: Palin says, flatly, " I’m not an apologist for any sexual predator," just before she dismisses Josh Duggar's actions as youthful "wrongdoing," and then says the real issue is that the police report was released and that the "media" is going "after the entire Duggar family for one member’s wrongdoing, while giving a total pass to perverted actions of someone like Lena Dunham." And because no Facebook post by Sarah Palin is ever complete without a moment of total monkeyfuck insanity, she jabbers, "Such obvious double standards applied to equally relevant stories underestimate the wisdom of the public, discredit the press, and spit on the graves of every American who fought and died for the press's freedom." Damn, that's the kind of leaping that'd make a parkour expert say, "How the fuck did you get there?"

Well, it's a franchise.
ReplyDeleteWonder how long it will take for Dan Cathy to revoke Donius' franchise and take back his chicken.
