Yeah, one of the articles I read said the alderman has Rahm's ideological support.  Free speech for me but not for thee.  Ugh.

Name a liberal who doesn't have the 'Free speech for me, but not for thee' ideology?

Hey man, I am good with all that, really.  But I don't eat fast food, and I don't like chicken.  Which makes me feel sucky, and I am just gonna have to go through the drive through to get a tea or something to make me feel better.

If it was bacon-fil-a I would be all there.  PROMISE!

Just giving you grief.  :wink:

I'd like to hear your reasons for not liking fast food (and especially for not liking chicken!  I went through a spell where I hated chicken, funny story).

Try one of Chick-Fil-A's handspun milkshakes - I don't think there's a better milkshake in our area.

Steak N Shake makes the best fast food milkshakes I've ever had. 

I've never tried one from Chick-Fil-A.  I'll have to stop by this weekend.

I love Chick-Fil-A, especially their breakfast. Chicken egg and bagel, with a fruit bowl.
I can ponder when I'm eating what came first.

edit to add.

I am going to the one that just opened here in Happy Valley not to long ago. I drive by it every day, but haven't stopped in yet. I am french-frie-holic, and you guys saying how good they are is making me have to try them.

As for chicken. I don't really care for it either. But I do love KFC. Go figure ....

Two years ago my cholesterol was at around 220.  I ate drive thru lunch and breakfast every weekday just about.  I gave up drive thrus and now my cholesterol is under 200.  I miss it, and sometimes I have caved into the craving for a Big Mac, or a sausage egg and cheese taquito, but when I do I feel miserable.

 I have never been a fan of chicken, but I will eat it every once in a while, only if I prepare it mostly.  I got some really nasty bone fragments in a chicken drive thru sandwich once, and it really grossed me out.

Wow, sorry to hear that.  I imagine the milkshake is chock-full of cholesterol too.  :(

Tots, you could get some ice cream, which BEG swears by, and a diet lemonade, which (I think Debk?) highly recommended.  Add some fries and call it lunch.   :-)

This business is free to operate under whatever philosophy it cares to.  Why on earth would the media be "upset?"  Why should they possibly care?  You don't have to answer.

Rahm Emanuel says Chik-Fil-A doesn't share "Chicago's values" but apparently Louis Farrakhan does.

Curious.
