So if this guy doesn't want to be near pork, why'd he buy a D.D. franchise in the first place?

[MarineBrat]

I’d like a dozen bacon and a dozen “Pork be upon me” donuts please.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Due to the majority ownership at Caribou Coffee......You cannot get a ham sammich.

Will congress view this like doctors/pharmacy's not sell abortion pills due to their faith and force him to sell pork?

[metmom]

So why is he living here in the first place?

If you don’t want pork around, go back to whatever porkfree hellhole you came from.

[metmom]

Great point.

[Disturbin]

“If you don’t want pork around, go back to whatever porkfree hellhole you came from.”

Unlucky for him, since the popularity of pork usually goes hand-in-hand with things like electricity, civility, freedom, etc.

Obama is about as useless as t*ts on a boar hog, and about as dumb. This guy has zero credibilty for the job he now holds, let alone President.

His no-nuke statement was about as assinine as they come.

[Post-Neolithic]

Ack, wrong thread :) Sorry...

[reagan_fanatic]

Pork donuts?

[Spruce]

So let me get this right — you can get ham, bacon, pork chops, AND donuts at the same place? Sweet!

[CondorFlight]

I think Orthodox Jews might have this same problem; but you didn’t see them demanding that nobody else eat pork or
change the way they live.

THEY found ways to manage, without infringing on the freedoms of anyone else.

[rattrap]

Sounds like you need a Bacon Sandwich.

[himno hero]

ewwwwe...you over looked the charmin

[expatpat]

Sell the franchise, you dummie, if you don’t like what the franchise sells.

[mickey finn]

I think a maple/bacon donut sounds great!

[himno hero]

the original?
doughnuts deep fried in pork fat?

Forget congress, Dunkin Donuts will weigh in. You can't own a McDonalds and refuse to serve Big Macs.

[BigFinn]

Wahlid needs to sell his franchise and switch to falafels. There it’s fixed. Easy.

[SampleMan]

I hate it when that happens.
