    I hope you mean on both sides, because it has.

    I bet this guy ate at Chick-fil-A yesterday in defense of his marriage:

    Outside of the congregation of the Westboro Baptist Church or some fringe skinhead whack jobs, I defy you to find one single organization in the U.S. that advocates killing gay people. On the other hand, there are entire countries that do just that. The anti-CFA lobby has chosen to ignore that.

    I'll play. I think the answer is a simple one. At least half the country resents being told how they should live their lives.

    This column has enough self-interest that it's on the "Gay Voices" section of HuffPo, and it of course highlights the link to the hate groups, but there is some interesting info. Of particular note, Chick-fil-A has been sued more than a dozen times by people claiming employment discrimination, including one woman who says she was fired so she could be a stay-at-home mom.

    Oh, for heaven's sake, big companies get sued for stuff like this all the time. That doesn't mean CFA is or was not wrong, it just means that a dozen lawsuits for a company of CFA's size seems puny (to me).

    You must be thinking of Michelle. She's the one who keeps insisting it's better for people to eat healthy and exercise. Obama keeps sneaking off for a smoke by the South portico.

    And the other half belong to religions which tell them how to live their lives.

    Walmart is sued 4,000-5,000 times every year.

    Which pretty much makes CFA the best bleeping company in the nation.

    Anyone know when CFA is bringing back the banana pudding shake? Cause they should really do that.

    It will now be known as the banana hammock shake, though.
