Ahem. If you read the speeches by the war hawks in the Senate, you will find that the real reason for the war was that they wanted to get their grimy paws on southwestern Ontario. Over my ancestors's dead bodies, dammit!

That might explain why the coffee SUCKS.

Well, to be fair, we just call them the "Make You Laffs", anyway.

Boycotting <i>anything</i> is always tricky. It is all but guaranteed that there will be unexpected side-effects. But what can you do? There is no way to selectively boycott corporate HQ.

The local franchise owner <i>must</i> be aware of the corporate owner's opinions (they tend to promulgate them). Whether or not the franchisee agrees with the corporate POV, if he/she does not take visible action to oppose it, it's the same as agreeing. To a compliant franchisee, I'd say "You've tied yourself to the corporate brand, so you get to share the brand's ups and downs".

Now, it's also true that the point of a boycott is to encourage a global change in behavior. If it turns out that you can only generate an effective boycott at the extremities of the corporate footprint, there is probably no point in continuing. This may be the case with ChickenFuckinA.

Haha! Turns out all of us, to some degree, can do some stupid things and get called on it. Now that's equality!

Classic "Christmas" movie.

I believe the rental car lady was Herb Tarlock's wife on WKRP.

Speaking of Christmas movies, there is a wonderful cameo by the late, great John Candy in "Home Alone." What a sweet guy.
