Thanking Chick Fil A?

Ok, I know it sounds totally insane, but seriously, I do find myself thanking Chick-Fil-A!  Why on earth would I thank a company who funds hate groups by the millions?  Well, here's the deal.  I found myself in quite an activist funk after getting moved and settling in here in Florida.  I helped to organize a candle light vigil, and have had some 1:1 conversations with people about joining GetEQUAL.  But was still not really energized to be doing organizing work again for whatever reason.  The recent brouhaha over Chick-Fil-Hate has really given me the spark I needed to get back in the game!  Yesterday, I joined Occupy Tampa as they Mic Checked a local Chick-Fil-A, then we visited another to hand out handbills to people sitting outside eating.  It was a great time, and I look forward to working with them again!  Now, I have a bit of work to do this week, this weekend, and beyond.  Time to GetEQUAL!  And so thank you, Chick-Fil-A for admitting once and for all that you fund hate groups, and for pushing this activist out of his funk and back into the game!!  See you soon!


And for your viewing pleasure, here is some video of the "Mic Check" from yesterday!

Onward!

Limbaugh and Bane

So Rush Limbaugh's latest rant is over the new Batman movie's use of the villain Bane.  He asserts that this is a liberal conspiracy to plant seeds of doubt in more minds against Mitt Romney (Bane Capital).  Never mind that the script for this movie was written years ago.  Is this typical Limbaugh lunacy?

Limbaugh isn't totally off his rocker, you know. Bane could have been placed in the new Batman movie as a villain as a conspiracy against Romney... EVEN THOUGH Bane first appeared in comics in 1993... because, you know, using Romney logic, you can do things retroactively now. So Hollywood retroactively had this character created in '93 so that it could be used conspiratorially in 2012. Still with me?

Onward!
